NC State Develops Material That Could Boost Data Storage, Save Energy
North Carolina State University engineers have created a new material that would allow a fingernail-size computer chip to store the equivalent of 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text, far exceeding the storage capacities of today's computer memory systems.   view more (2009-10-21)

New study finds that older Americans may improve memory by exercising their brains and bodies
New research released today at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's Annual Meeting found that older Americans may improve their memory by making simple lifestyle changes - including memory exercises, physical fitness, healthy eating and stress reduction.   view more (2005-12-13)

Learning to shape your brain activity
A study in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal Sleep shows that the successful manipulation of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) amplitude by instrumental SMR conditioning (ISC) improved sleep quality as well as declarative learning. ISC might thus be considered a promising non-pharmacological treatment for primary insomnia.   view more (2008-10-01)

Birds learn to fly with a little help from their ancestors
It is widely known that birds learn to fly through practice, gradually refining their innate ability into a finely tuned skill.   view more (2007-08-15)

Infections may lead to faster memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Getting a cold, stomach bug or other infection may lead to increased memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2009-09-08)

New study may help understand how Alzheimer's robs sufferers of episodic memory
Memory loss is love's great thief. Those who suffer aren't just the ones who can't remember-family, friends and loved ones agonize over how to react when the disorder begins its often inexorable progress.   view more (2009-05-19)

Menopause transition may cause trouble learning
The largest study of its kind to date shows that women may not be able to learn as well shortly before menopause compared to other stages in life.   view more (2009-05-26)

ASU researchers improve memory devices using nanotech
Arizona State University's Center for Applied Nanoionics (CANi) has a new take on old memory, one that promises to boost the performance, capacity and battery life of consumer electronics from digital cameras to laptops. Best of all, it is cheap, made from common materials and compatible with just about anything currently on the market.   view more (2007-10-24)

New Alzheimer's findings: High stress and genetic risk factor lead to increased memory decline
High stress levels may contribute to memory loss among people at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2007-08-28)

Does being overweight in old age cause memory problems?
While obesity has been shown to contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, being overweight in old age does not lead to memory problems.   view more (2007-09-20)

Researchers use novel three-dimensional imaging technique
Using an innovative three-dimensional imaging technique, a team of UCLA researchers have tracked how Alzheimer's disease spreads through the hippocampus - the area of the brain linked with memory - in a pattern consistent with the known trajectory of neurofibrilliary tangle dissemination, an accumulation of diseased proteins in the brain cells.   view more (2006-10-26)

You will remember this
Scientists can now predict memory of an event before it even happens. A team at UCL (University College London) can now tell how well memory will serve us before we have seen what we will remember.   view more (2006-02-27)

Alzheimer's pathology related to episodic memory in those without dementia
Alzheimer's pathology can appear in the brains of older men and women without dementia or mild cognitive impairment.   view more (2006-06-27)

Immunologists identify biochemical signals that help immune cells remember how to fight infection
Immunology researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how two biochemical signals play unique roles in promoting the development of a group of immune cells employed as tactical assassins.   view more (2009-05-28)

UT Southwestern researchers discover brain's memory 'buffer' in single cells
Individual nerve cells in the front part of the brain can hold traces of memories on their own for as long as a minute and possibly longer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2009-01-26)

UCLA/Toronto researchers unlock key to memory storage in brain
Scientists know little about how the brain assigns cells to participate in encoding and storing memories. Now a UCLA/University of Toronto team has discovered that a protein called CREB controls the odds of a neuron playing a role in memory formation.   view more (2007-04-20)

Using Synthetic Evolution to Study the Brain: Researchers Model Key Part of Neurons
The human brain has evolved over millions of years to become a vast network of billions of neurons and synaptic connections. Understanding it is one of humankind's greatest pursuits.   view more (2009-10-05)

New Research Shows Why Too Much Memory May Be a Bad Thing
New research from Columbia University Medical Center may explain why people who are able to easily and accurately recall historical dates or long-ago events, may have a harder time with word recall or remembering the day's current events. They may have too much memory - making it harder to filter out information and increasing the time it takes... view more... (2007-03-30)

Scientists synthesize memory in yeast cells
Harvard Medical School researchers have successfully synthesized a DNA-based memory loop in yeast cells, findings that mark a significant step forward in the emerging field of synthetic biology.   view more (2007-09-17)

New protein synthesis not essential to memory formation
New research from the University of Illinois challenges the premise that the brain must build new proteins in response to an experience for that experience to be recorded in long-term memory.    view more (2007-07-27)
