Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition. view more (2004-10-12)
Mutation improves memory, may lead to memory-enhancing pill
A mind-altering mutation in mice results in an enhanced long-term memory, researchers report in the April 6, 2007 issue of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press. These findings point to a potential target for the development of a drug to treat memory loss, according to the researchers. view more (2007-04-06)
Memory function: There is hope for alcoholics with Korsakoff Syndrome
People with Korsakoff Syndrome (KS), a brain disorder usually associated with long-term heavy drinking and thiamine deficiency, often have profound deficits in their "explicit memory" or ability to recall recent events. view more (2006-03-27)
Study identifies new patterns of brain activation used in forming long-term memories
Researchers at New York University and Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have identified patterns of brain activation linked to the formation of long-term memories. view more (2008-02-20)
Researchers Find That Well-Timed Timeout Is More Effective In Wiping Out Memory Response to Fear Stimulus
Banishing a fear-inducing memory might be a matter of the right timing, according to new research. view more (2009-04-03)
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)
Rutgers Research: Direct Evidence of the Role of Sleep in Memory Formation is Uncovered
A Rutgers University, Newark and Collége de France, Paris research team has pinpointed for the first time the mechanism that takes place during sleep that causes learning and memory formation to occur. view more (2009-09-16)
UCI researchers restore memory process in most common form of mental disability
University of California, Irvine scientists have discovered how to reverse the learning and memory problems inherent in the most common form of mental impairment. view more (2007-10-08)
Life can be sweet in old age
Psychologists have discovered that taking glucose in old age can improve memory. Leigh Riby and Cheryl Glover of Glasgow Caledonian University will present the results of their study today, Thursday 15 April 2004, at the British Psychological Society's Annual Conference at Imperial College, London. The study was carried out using 20 people aged... view more... (2004-04-16)
Scan visualises poor memory in the elderly
Dutch psychologists have found that elderly persons with a poor memory demonstrate less activity in the mediotemporal lobe when storing new information than elderly persons with a normally functioning memory. Sander Daselaar from the Free University of Amsterdam made scans of the activity in various brain areas. These showed differences between... view more... (2003-03-21)
Sense and sensibility in short-term memory
More than three centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton reflected on the similarities between the sense of hearing and the sense of sight. Newton's speculations were impossible to test scientifically, until now. view more (2007-02-20)
A natural chemical found in strawberries boosts memory in healthy mice
Mothers have long exhorted their children to eat their fruit and vegetables. But once kids are beyond mom's watchful eye, the hated greens often go the way of Barbie dolls and power rangers. Now, there's another reason to reach for colorful fruits past adolescence. view more (2006-10-18)
One reason to test premature babies early: Results provide clues to later cognitive development
Now a study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., and the University of Ghent in Belgium, finds that early cognitive deficits in infancy such as poorer attention, slower processing speed and poorer recognition memory are important harbingers of later cognitive deficits. view more (2005-11-14)
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)
Why delaying gratification is smart: A neural link between intelligence and self-control
If you had a choice between receiving $1,000 right now or $4,000 ten years from now, which would you pick? Psychologists use the term "delay discounting" to describe our inability to resist the temptation of a smaller immediate reward in lieu of receiving a larger reward at a later date. view more (2008-09-10)
Total, Genetically-Based Recall: Psychologists explore possibility of sex differences in memory, findings favor females
There are several human characteristics considered to be genetically predetermined and evolutionarily innate, such as immune system strength, physical adaptations and even sex differences. These qualities drive the nature versus nurture debate and ask of our species, who is more successful and why? view more (2008-02-21)
Insomnia suffers need increased brain activation to maintain normal daily function
Patients suffering from chronic primary insomnia (PIs) have higher levels of brain activation compared to normal sleepers during a working memory test. view more (2009-06-09)
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)
Moderate alcohol consumption enhances the formation of new nerve cells - may contribute to alcohol dependency
Moderate alcohol consumption over a relatively long period of time can enhance the formation of new nerve cells in the adult brain. The new cells could prove important in the development of alcohol dependency and other long-term effects of alcohol on the brain. The findings are published by Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-04-26)
One hit of crystal meth causes birth defects: U of T study
A single prenatal dose of methamphetamine - commonly known as speed - may be enough to cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems in babies, say University of Toronto researchers. view more (2005-07-27)
