Edinburgh researchers to probe memory loss in people with diabetics
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are aiming to pinpoint why diabetes can cause memory loss and mental decline. A thousand people will take part in the study, the largest of its kind ever undertaken in the UK. view more (2006-06-27)
Computer exercises improve memory and attention
Study results to be published in the April 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society show that computerized brain exercises can improve memory and lead to faster thinking. view more (2009-02-12)
Hypnosis study reveals brain's 'amnesia centers'
Brain scans of hypnotized people that are taken as they forget and are triggered to remember have revealed neural circuitry that is key to the memory suppression and recall process. view more (2008-01-10)
A new magnetic phenomenon may improve RAM memories and the storage capacity of hard drives
The application of 'displaced vortex states'-small magnetic circular movements of just a few thousandths of a millimetre-may accelerate the arrival of a new type of magnetic memory (MRAM) that does not disappear when a computer is switched off. view more (2006-03-03)
Researchers double cell phone memory through software alone
Cell phones are increasingly sophisticated -- sporting such features as cameras, music players, games, video clips, Internet access and, lest we forget, the capability to phone someone -- but these features come at a price: memory. view more (2007-09-27)
Depression may increase Alzheimer's risk in people with memory problems
People with memory problems who are depressed are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who aren't depressed, according to a new UCLA study. view more (2009-06-16)
Music makes you smarter
Regularly playing a musical instrument changes the anatomy and function of the brain and may be used in therapy to improve cognitive skills. view more (2009-10-26)
IT security: battening down the hatches
Mobile devices and data storage media present a serious security risk when data is exchanged. Fraunhofer researchers demonstrate at CeBIT (Hall 11) how this information can be more effectively protected using the latest encryption and authentication technology. view more (2004-03-18)
Amyloid beta protein gets bum rap
While too much amyloid beta protein in the brain is linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease, not enough of the protein in healthy brains can cause learning problems and forgetfulness, Saint Louis University scientists have found. view more (2009-11-10)
The memory of water is a reality
A special issue of the journal Homeopathy, journal of the Faculty of Homeopathy and published by Elsevier, on the "Memory of Water" brings together scientists from around the world for the first time to publish new data, reviews and discuss recent scientific work exploring the idea that water can display memory effects. view more (2007-08-02)
MSU researcher helps develop computer game for Ugandan children recovering from cerebral malaria
The computer program Captain's Log - originally used with individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, brain injuries or learning disabilities - is being adapted to rehabilitate Ugandan children who are survivors of cerebral malaria. view more (2007-10-24)
The solution to a 7-decade mystery is crystal-clear to FSU chemist
A Florida State University researcher has helped solve a scientific mystery that stumped chemists for nearly seven decades. In so doing, his team's findings may lead to the development of more-powerful computer memories and lasers. view more (2007-10-22)
Impaired kidney function linked to cognitive decline in elderly
A new study published in the medical journal Neurology suggests that impaired kidney function is a risk factor for cognitive decline in old age. view more (2009-09-29)
Study Suggests Buddhist Deity Meditation Temporarily Augments Visuospatial Abilities
Meditation has been practiced for centuries, as a way to calm the soul and bring about inner peace. According to a new study in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, there is now evidence that a specific method of meditation may temporarily boost our visuospatial abilities (for example, the ability to... view more...

Cancer drug may improve memory in Alzheimer's patients
A drug now used to treat cancer may also be able to restore memory deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-08)
Ecstasy affects memory, new international study shows
People who take the recreational drug ecstasy risk impairing their memory, according to an international study which surveyed users in places including the UK, other European countries, the USA and Australia. The study, which also surveyed non-drug users, found that those who regularly took ecstasy suffered from mainly long-term memory... view more... (2004-01-13)
How memories are made, and recalled
What makes a memory? Single cells in the brain, for one thing. For the first time, scientists at UCLA and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have recorded individual brain cells in the act of calling up a memory, thus revealing where in the brain a specific memory is stored, and how it is able to recreate it. view more (2008-09-08)
Spintronics - breakthroughs for next generation electronics
Traditional silicon chips in computers and other electronic devices control the flow of electrical current by modifying the positive or negative charge of different parts of each tiny circuit. However it is also possible to use of the mysterious magnetic properties of electrons - know as "spin" - to control the movement of currents. Many... view more... (2005-04-26)
New Speed Record for Magnetic Memories
Fast memory chips such as DRAMs and SRAMs (Dynamic and Static Random Access Memory) commonly used today have one decisive disadvantage: in case of power interruption, they lose their stored information. view more (2008-08-19)
Research finds photos more useful than words
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that pictures allow patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) to better recognize and identify a subject as compared to using just words. view more (2009-05-01)
