Study shows children less prone to false memories, implications for eyewitness testimony
In the 1980's, a spate of high profile child abuse convictions gave way to heightened concern about false memory reports given by children. view more (2007-05-01)
Moral philosopher questions memory manipulation
Is medicated memory manipulation ethically sound? And perhaps more importantly, who should be charged with the decision to deliver such a treatment: patient or physician? Elisa Hurley, a philosophy professor, is seeking answers to these questions in her research currently underway at The University of Western Ontario. view more (2008-04-30)
Emotion and scent create lasting memories -- even in a sleeping brain
When French memoirist Marcel Proust dipped a pastry into his tea, the distinctive scent it produced suddenly opened the flood gates of his memory. view more (2008-10-17)
Stress-related disorders affect brain's processing of memory
Researchers using functional MRI (fMRI) have determined that the circuitry in the area of the brain responsible for suppressing memory is dysfunctional in patients suffering from stress-related psychiatric disorders. Results of the study will be presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-03)
Researchers know what you were about to say; fMRI used to detect memory storage and retrieval
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University have provided evidence that the act of recalling a memory is a bit like mental time travel. view more (2005-12-23)
Cracking the spatial memory code
Researchers have shown that they can tell where a person is "standing" within a virtual reality room on the basis of the pattern of activity in the brain alone. view more (2009-03-12)
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)
When positive thinking leads to financial irresponsibility like compulsive gambling
Looking on the bright side can lead to irresponsible financial behavior, reveals a paper from the June 2008 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research. view more (2008-04-22)
Memory on Trial
The U.S. legal system has long assumed that all testimony is not equally credible, that some witnesses are more reliable than others. In tough cases with child witnesses, it assumes adult witnesses to be more reliable. But what if the legal system had it wrong? view more (2008-03-14)
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)
The memories you want to forget are the hardest ones to lose
Painful, emotional memories that people would most like to forget may be the toughest to leave behind, especially when memories are created through visual cues, according to a new study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2007-08-16)
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)
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)
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)
New understanding of basic units of memory
A molecular "recycling plant" permits nerve cells in the brain to carry out two seemingly contradictory functions - changeable enough to record new experiences, yet permanent enough to maintain these memories over time. view more (2007-09-20)
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)
UCI researcher identifies brain activity that 'sets the stage' for retaining memories
Researchers have identified the neural activity that occurs when the brain "sets the stage" for retaining a memory - a finding that could have important implications for memory research and help determine ways in which people can strengthen memories they want to retain while weakening ones they would rather forget. view more (2006-03-01)
Study finds that sleep selectively preserves emotional memories
As poets, songwriters and authors have described, our memories range from misty water-colored recollections to vividly detailed images of the times of our lives. view more (2008-08-14)
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)
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)
