Proteins necessary for brain development found to be critical for long-term memory
A type of protein crucial for the growth of brain cells during development appears to be equally important for the formation of long-term memories, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-09-06)
CSHL study finds short- and long-term memories require same gene but in different circuits
Why is it that you can instantly recall your own phone number but have to struggle with your mental Rolodex to remember a new number you heard a few moments ago? view more (2009-08-18)
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 (2009-05-29)
Memory machine
What happens in our brains when we learn and remember" Are memories recorded in a stable physical change, like writing an inscription permanently on a clay tablet" Prof. Yadin Dudai, Head of the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department, and his colleagues are challenging that view. view more (2007-08-17)
Do high-fat diets make us stupid and lazy?
Short-term memory getting worse? Exercise getting harder? Examine your diet. New research published online in The FASEB Journal showed that in less than 10 days of eating a high-fat diet, rats had a decreased ability to exercise and experienced significant short-term memory loss. view more (2009-08-12)
'Shopping on Ecstasy': everyday memory loss associated with persistent ecstasy use
Persistent use of ecstasy leads to a loss of everyday memory, researchers from Northumbria University have discovered. For the study 23 regular users of ecstasy were compared to 30 people who had never used the drug. view more (2005-05-06)
Why one way of learning is better than another
A new study from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of McGill University reveals that different patterns of training and learning lead to different types of memory formation. view more (2009-10-02)
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 identify 1 of the necessary processes in the formation of long-term memory
A new study that was carried out at the University of Haifa has identified another component in the chain of actions that take place in the neurons in the process of forming memories. view more (2009-09-08)
Memory function varies after damage to key area of the brain
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered dramatic differences in the memory performance of patients with damage to the hippocampus, an area of the human brain key to memory. view more (2008-10-23)
Dietary fats trigger long-term memory formation
Having strong memories of that rich, delicious dessert you ate last night? If so, you shouldn't feel like a glutton. It's only natural. view more (2009-04-28)
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis may pose neurological risks
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has helped many couples conceive healthy children and is generally considered a safe practice. view more (2009-07-22)
Pain Receptor in Brain May Be Linked to Learning and Memory
Scientists have long known that the nervous system receptor known as TRPV1 can affect sensations of pain in the body. Now a group of Brown University scientists has found that these receptors - a darling of drug developers - also may play a role in learning and memory in the brain. view more (2008-03-14)
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)
Some Short-term Memories Die Suddenly, No Fading
The human brain stores some kinds of memories for a lifetime. But when our eyes are open and looking at things, our gray matter also creates temporary memories that help us process complex tasks during the few seconds these visual memories exist. view more (2009-04-29)
Activation of the prefrontal cortex improves working memory
Psychologists and neurologists invest considerable effort in the study of working memory. In terms of information retention, there is a difference between long-term memory, which is affected in diseases such as Alzheimer, and short-term or working memory, which allows us to make immediate decisions or structure a discourse. view more (2009-04-02)
Aging impairs the 'replay' of memories during sleep
Aging impairs the consolidation of memories during sleep, a process important in converting new memories into long-term ones. view more (2008-07-30)
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)
Astrocytes and synaptic plasticity
By mopping up excess neurotrophic factor from neuronal synapses, astrocytes may finely tune synaptic transmission to affect processes such as learning and memory, say Bergami et al. view more (2008-10-13)
