Police with higher multitasking abilities less likely to shoot unarmed persons
In the midst of life-threatening situations requiring split-second decisions, police officers with a higher ability to multitask are less likely to shoot unarmed persons when feeling threatened during video simulations, a new Georgia State University study suggests. view more (2009-03-31)
Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage. view more (2007-06-11)
Schizophrenia could cause patients to forget their medication
Patients with schizophrenia must take medication regularly to reduce their risk of relapse. But the disease impairs memory, according to an article published in BMC Psychiatry, meaning these patients may have difficulty in remembering to take their tablets. Habitual tasks, like taking medicine every few hours, rely on "prospective... view more... (2003-08-12)
Older women with memory problems at increased risk for restless nights
Older women experiencing memory loss are more likely than women without cognitive decline to have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. view more (2007-07-17)
Academics Seek Bilingual Volunteers For Language Study
Psychologists and linguists at the University of Edinburgh are recruiting Spanish; Japanese and native English-speaking adults for a research project, which will help understand how non-native languages, are learned and stored in the memory. The research aims to identify certain pitfalls in spelling, both in native and non-native speakers, and... view more... (2002-09-03)
Sleep helps reduce errors in memory, MSU research suggests
Sleep may reduce mistakes in memory, according to a first-of-its-kind study led by a cognitive neuroscientist at Michigan State University. view more (2009-09-11)
Older adults control emotions more easily than young adults
With age comes the ability to better regulate emotions in order to not disrupt performance on a memory-intensive task, according to a study published in the March issue of the journal Psychology and Aging. view more (2009-03-05)
Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron. view more (2006-04-04)
Supersizing the supercomputers: What's next?
Supercomputers excel at highly calculation-intensive tasks, such as molecular modeling and large-scale simulations, and have enabled significant scientific breakthroughs. view more (2005-08-31)
Brain model enhances understanding of schizophrenia
A new model for the interaction among the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex may be a step on the way to improving treatment for schizophrenia and ADHD. The model, which describes the function of three types of inhibitory nerve cells in the frontal lobe, is being presented in the scientific journal PNAS by researchers from Linköping... view more...

Think memory worsens with age? Then yours probably will
Thinking your memory will get worse as you get older may actually be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that senior citizens who think older people should perform poorly on tests of memory actually score much worse than seniors who do not buy in to negative stereotypes about aging and memory loss. view more (2009-04-22)
Researchers discover mechanism that determines when detailed memories are retained
The levels of a chemical released by the brain determine how detailed a memory will later be, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-10-16)
How to spot a hospital acquired computer virus"¦"¦..
A disturbing trend in the rise of computer viruses specifically acquired in hospital is revealed in this month's issue of the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2001-11-20)
A link between obesity and memory? Saint Louis University research makes the connection
Scientists have wondered why obese patients who have diabetes also may have problems with their long-term memory. New Saint Louis University research in this month's Peptides provides a clue. view more (2006-06-15)
Children with gene show reduced cognitive function
Children who possess a gene known to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease already show signs of reduced cognitive function, an Oregon Health & Science University study has found. view more (2007-11-06)
Complaints About Memory Are Associated With Alzheimer-Related Brain Damage
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center found that having complaints about memory problems is associated with changes in the brain related to Alzheimer's disease. They reported their findings in the November 2006 issue of Neurology. view more (2006-12-04)
Memory design breakthrough can lead to faster computers
Team improves infinitesimal rings for speedy, reliable, efficient magnetic memory. Imagine a computer that doesn't lose data even in a sudden power outage, or a coin-sized hard drive that could store 100 or more movies. view more (2006-01-12)
Lost Connections Amid the Hippocampus: Amnesiac Study Offers Insights into How Working Memory Works
Memory tests performed with amnesiacs have enabled researchers to refute a long-held belief in an essential difference between long-and short-term memories. view more (2006-06-01)
Physical fitness improves spatial memory, increases size of brain structure
When it comes to the hippocampus, a brain structure vital to certain types of memory, size matters. Numerous studies have shown that bigger is usually better. view more (2009-02-25)
Study finds how brain remembers single events
Single events account for many of our most vivid memories - a marriage proposal, a wedding toast, a baby's birth. Until a recent UC Irvine discovery, however, scientists knew little about what happens inside the brain that allows you to remember such events. view more (2009-03-19)
