Wake-up call: Draft security pub looks at cell phones, PDAs
In recent years cell phones and PDAs-"Personal Digital Assistants"-have exploded in power, performance and features. They now often boast expanded memory, cameras, Global Positioning System receivers and the ability to record and store multimedia files and transfer them over wireless networks-in addition to the cell phone system-using... view more...

Generation of a severe memory-deficit mutant mouse by exclusively eliminating the kinase activity of CaMKIIalpha
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (CaMKII alpha) is an enzyme that adds phosphates to a variety of protein substrates to modify their functions. view more (2009-06-19)
Beep, beep, oops, what was I doing?
"That blasted siren. I can't focus." That reaction to undesired distraction may signal a person's low working-memory capacity, according to a new study. view more (2009-08-07)
New research shows reactivating single memory does not affect associated memories
Researchers at a trio of universities have found that reactivating a specific memory does not affect associated or related memories, adding to our understanding of how memories are stored and influenced. view more (2006-02-14)
New invention that could change design of future memory storage devices
A research team at Singapore A*STAR's Data Storage Institute (DSI) has invented a new phase change material that has the potential to change the design of future memory storage devices. view more (2008-10-08)
Fetal short-term memory found in 30-week-old fetuses
Memory probably begins during the prenatal period, but little is known about the exact timing or for how long memory lasts. Now in a new study from the Netherlands, scientists have found fetal short-term memory in fetuses at 30 weeks. view more (2009-07-15)
Salt supplements vital for brain development of premature babies
Salt is critical to the brain development of premature babies, suggests research in the Fetal and Neonatal Edition. Language, memory, intelligence and coordination were all better in children, who had been born premature but whose diets had been supplemented with salt shortly after birth. view more (2002-03-04)
University research dispels popular myth
New research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has challenged the common belief that pregnant women suffer from memory and concentration impairment. A study by Dr Ros Crawley and her team concluded that there is no evidence to support widespread opinion that women's mental abilities weaken during pregnancy. Magazine articles, childcare... view more... (2003-03-13)
Mouse protein points to memory pill for the old
A drug to aid learning and memory in the elderly may be possible as a result of work being carried out at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London. A team led by Dr Karl Peter Giese, of the department of learning and memory, is looking at the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying memory - not so much the... view more... (2000-04-10)
Researchers develop new method for studying 'mental time travel'
Neuroscientists at Princeton University have developed a new way of tracking people's mental state as they think back to previous events - a process that has been described as "mental time travel." view more (2005-12-23)
Doubts about False Memory Syndrome
These were the findings of a study published today, Tuesday 14 March, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by psychologist Dr Bernice Andrews, of Royal Holloway, University of London, and her colleagues. view more (2000-03-16)
Exercise and mental stimulation bothboost mouse memory late in life
Physical exercise is known to be good for the aging brain, but what about mental stimulation" Does enrichment that helps older people work well for the young and middle aged, or do they need something else" A report in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience tells how, in an animal experiment, older adults appear to benefit from... view more...

Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails. This is of crucial importance... view more... (2002-02-18)
Implementing Computer Assisted Learning into the Chemistry Curriculum
The idea of using a computer as a pedagogic device is not new. However, until recently, hardware and software costs put computer assisted learning (CAL) out of the reach of many academics. In addition, early courseware paid little attention to human-computer interface issues, resulting in CAL which was difficult to use and understand. There are... view more... (1999-05-17)
That gut feeling may actually reflect a reliable memory
You know the feeling. You make a decision you're certain is merely a "lucky guess." A new study from Northwestern University offers precise electrophysiological evidence that such decisions may sometimes not be guesswork after all. view more (2009-02-09)
Scientists capture the first image of memories being made
The ability to learn and to establish new memories is essential to our daily existence and identity; enabling us to navigate through the world. view more (2009-06-19)
When 2 + 2 = Major Anxiety: Math Performance in Stressful Situations
Imagine you are sitting in the back of a classroom, daydreaming about the weekend. Then, out of nowhere, the teacher calls upon you to come to the front the room and solve a math problem. view more (2008-12-10)
Molecular memory a game-changer
A team at Rice University has determined that a strip of graphite only 10 atoms thick can serve as the basic element in a new type of memory, making massive amounts of storage available for computers, handheld media players, cell phones and cameras. view more (2008-11-24)
Theory about long and short-term memory questioned by UCL scientists
The long-held theory that our brains use different mechanisms for forming long-term and short-term memories has been challenged by new research from UCL, published today in PNAS. view more (2009-11-10)
Sleep may be important in regulating emotional responses
Seep selectively preservers memories that are emotionally salient and relevant to future goals when sleep follows soon after learning. Effects persist for as long as four months after the memory is created. view more (2009-06-11)
