Exercise and mental stimulation bothboost mouse memory late in life
Physical exercise is known to be good for the aging brain, but what about mental stimulation" Does enrichment that helps older people work well for the young and middle aged, or do they need something else" A report in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience tells how, in an animal experiment, older adults appear to benefit from... view more...

Genetic tags reveal secrets of memories' staying power in mice
A better understanding of how memory works is emerging from a newfound ability to link a learning experience in a mouse to consequent changes in the inner workings of its neurons. view more (2008-02-22)
Neural stem cells offer potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease
UC Irvine scientists have shown for the first time that neural stem cells can rescue memory in mice with advanced Alzheimer's disease, raising hopes of a potential treatment for the leading cause of elderly dementia that afflicts 5.3 million people in the U.S. view more (2009-07-21)
MU Researchers Use Computational Models to Study Fear
The brain is a complex system made of billions of neurons and thousands of connections that relate to every human feeling, including one of the strongest emotions, fear. view more (2009-10-01)
Tracking the memory trace
Memory formation follows a dynamic pattern, allowing for retrieval from different areas of the brain, depending on when an organism needs to remember, said a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine. view more (2005-12-05)
Contrary to widely held beliefs, romance can last in long-term relationships, say researchers
Romance does not have to fizzle out in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier relationships. view more (2009-03-18)
UGA researchers discover 'episodic-like' memory in rats
Human memory is a mental scrapbook, filled with moments of luminous happiness or unforgettable sorrow. view more (2006-07-11)
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)
Long-term abstinence may resolve many of the neurocognitive deficits associated with alcoholism
Alcoholism can cause neuropsychological deficits, that much is clear. There is much less clarity, however, concerning to what degree recovery may occur with abstinence from alcohol. New findings indicate that long-term abstinence from alcohol can resolve many - but not all - neurocognitive deficits. view more (2006-08-28)
Epilepsy drug may help Alzheimer's patients
A popular epilepsy drug may also be beneficial in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a new study to be published on October 27 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The anti-seizure drug valproic acid improved memory and reduced brain lesions in mice with an AD-like disease. view more (2008-10-27)

Self-repairing fenders and intelligent implants - shape-memory polymers as materials of the future view more (2002-06-27)
Insight on fruit fly immune system could lead to new types of vaccines, Stanford researchers say
The tiny fruit fly has a lot to teach humans. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found for the first time that flies' primitive immune systems may develop long-term protection from infection, an ability previously thought impossible for insects. view more (2007-03-09)
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)
Blood pressure drop during bypass surgery associated with increased risk of cognitive decline
Patients whose mean arterial blood pressure drops during bypass surgery may be at risk for early difficulties in thinking, learning and memory. view more (2007-06-12)
Many patients are not satisfied with electroconvulsive therapy
Around 11,000 people receive electroconvulsive therapy in England each year, yet controversy exists as to whether treatment is beneficial and whether patients are satisfied with it. view more (2003-06-18)
Neuronal Activity Gives Clues to Working Memory
A newly discovered interplay of cells in one of the brain's memory centers sheds light on how you recall your grocery list, where you laid your keys, and a host of important but fleeting daily tasks. view more (2007-06-07)
Surgery not linked to memory problems in older patients
For years, it has been widely assumed that older adults may experience memory loss and other cognitive problems following surgery. But a new study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis questions those assumptions. view more (2009-11-20)
The deactivation of two genes could be the cause of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease could be caused by the deactivation of what are known as "presenilin genes". Using mice as a model for the study of Alzheimer's in humans, a scientific team headed by the researcher Carlos Saura, from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that when these genes mutate and stop working they cause... view more...

Making memories that last a lifetime
Neurobiologists have discovered a mechanism by which the constantly changing brain retains memories—from that dog bite to that first kiss. They have found that the brain co-opts the same machinery by which cells stably alter their genes to specialize during embryonic development. view more (2007-03-15)
