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)
Monkeys vaccinated against SIV survive longer after infection
Results of two new studies sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggest that even if an HIV vaccine offers imperfect protection against the virus, it might provide vaccinated individuals with an important benefit: a significant survival advantage... view more...

Brandeis researchers propose model of neural circuit underlying working memory
Our ability to understand speech or decide which fruit in the store is freshest depends on the brain's dexterity in integrating information over time. view more (2005-12-21)
New Study Shows False Memories Affect Behavior
Do you know someone who claims to remember their first day of kindergarten? Or a trip they took as a toddler? While some people may be able to recall trivial details from the past, laboratory research shows that the human memory can be remarkably fragile and even inventive. view more (2008-08-20)
Anticipation plays a powerful role in human memory, brain study finds
Psychologists have long known that memories of disturbing emotional events-such as an act of violence or the unexpected death of a loved one-are more vivid and deeply imprinted in the brain than mundane recollections of everyday matters. view more (2006-09-05)
Complaints About Memory Are Associated With Alzheimer-Related Brain Damage
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center found that having complaints about memory problems is associated with changes in the brain related to Alzheimer's disease. They reported their findings in the November 2006 issue of Neurology. view more (2006-12-04)
Preventative brain radiation for lung cancer patients: Benefits and risks
A new study is taking a closer look at the benefits versus risks for lung cancer patients to undergo preventative brain radiation therapy as a means to stop cancer from spreading to the brain. view more (2009-11-03)
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)
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)
Physical fitness improves spatial memory, increases size of brain structure
When it comes to the hippocampus, a brain structure vital to certain types of memory, size matters. Numerous studies have shown that bigger is usually better. view more (2009-02-25)
Memory grows less efficient very early in Alzheimer's disease
Even very early in Alzheimer's disease, people become less efficient at separating important from less important information, a new study has found. view more (2009-05-04)
Vitamin B3 reduces Alzheimer's symptoms, lesions
An over-the-counter vitamin in high doses prevented memory loss in mice with Alzheimer's disease, and UC Irvine scientists now are conducting a clinical trial to determine its effect in humans. view more (2008-11-05)
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)
Is there long-term brain damage after bypass surgery? More evidence puts the blame on heart disease
Brain scientists and cardiac surgeons at Johns Hopkins have evidence from 227 heart bypass surgery patients that long-term memory losses and cognitive problems they experience are due to the underlying coronary artery disease itself and not ill after-effects from having used a heart-lung machine. view more (2009-08-04)
U of M researchers find cerebral malaria may be a major cause of brain injury in African children
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have found that cerebral malaria is related to long-term cognitive impairment in one of four child survivors. The research is published in the current issue of the journal Pediatrics. view more (2008-07-30)
New invention that could change design of future memory storage devices
A research team at Singapore A*STAR's Data Storage Institute (DSI) has invented a new phase change material that has the potential to change the design of future memory storage devices. view more (2008-10-08)
Salt supplements vital for brain development of premature babies
Salt is critical to the brain development of premature babies, suggests research in the Fetal and Neonatal Edition. Language, memory, intelligence and coordination were all better in children, who had been born premature but whose diets had been supplemented with salt shortly after birth. view more (2002-03-04)
University research dispels popular myth
New research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has challenged the common belief that pregnant women suffer from memory and concentration impairment. A study by Dr Ros Crawley and her team concluded that there is no evidence to support widespread opinion that women's mental abilities weaken during pregnancy. Magazine articles, childcare... view more... (2003-03-13)
Doubts about False Memory Syndrome
These were the findings of a study published today, Tuesday 14 March, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by psychologist Dr Bernice Andrews, of Royal Holloway, University of London, and her colleagues. view more (2000-03-16)
ETH Researchers Decipher Learning Processes in Mice
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) belongs to a group of molecules that on the basis of earlier studies has been proposed to be a controlling factor for learning and memory. The ETH researchers produced genetically modified mice in which the activity of PP1 can be reduced at will. These animals were subjected to various learning and memory tests in one... view more...
