UT Knoxville research may lead to better flu vaccine
New research from a scientist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has uncovered information that may someday lead to a better flu vaccine.   view more (2008-02-28)

Children's under-achievement could be down to poor working memory
Children who under-achieve at school may just have poor working memory rather than low intelligence according to researchers who have produced the world's first tool to assess memory capacity in the classroom.   view more (2008-02-28)

Attack on computer memory reveals vulnerability of widely-used security systems
A team of academic, industry and independent researchers has demonstrated a new class of computer attacks that compromise the contents of "secure" memory systems, particularly in laptops.   view more (2008-02-22)

Memory loss affects more of the brain than previously thought
Memory loss associated with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be linked to altered activity in several areas of the brain, according to a study in the July issue of Radiology.   view more (2006-06-27)

Elderly women have better mental ability than men, despite less formal education
Elderly women have a better mental function than men despite their lower level of formal education, conclude Dutch researchers in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. These findings challenge the view that a limited formal education is associated with lower mental ability and suggest that biological differences between men and... view more... (2001-06-14)

Towards rational vaccine design
A recent study published in Immunology Letters, the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), describes strategies for selective priming of B cells using various adjuvants.   view more (2007-04-25)

How 'memory' T cells curb the spread of viruses throughout the body
A scientific discovery by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers helps explain how "memory" T cells protect the body from viral diseases.   view more (2007-06-19)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
