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)
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)
Paradoxical Alzheimer's finding may shed new light on memory loss
Do you remember the seventh song that played on your radio on the way to work yesterday? Most of us don't, thanks to a normal forgetting process that is constantly "cleaning house" - culling inconsequential information from our brains. view more (2008-03-13)
New protein synthesis not essential to memory formation
New research from the University of Illinois challenges the premise that the brain must build new proteins in response to an experience for that experience to be recorded in long-term memory. view more (2007-07-27)
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)
Pre-clinical study suggests how steroid can reverse post-traumatic stress
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center, working with mice, have shown how the body's own natural stress hormone can help lastingly decrease the fearful response associated with reliving a traumatic memory. view more (2006-09-13)
Study finds how brain remembers single events
Single events account for many of our most vivid memories - a marriage proposal, a wedding toast, a baby's birth. Until a recent UC Irvine discovery, however, scientists knew little about what happens inside the brain that allows you to remember such events. view more (2009-03-19)
New insight into brain disorders
The function of an enzyme in the brain - strongly linked to a number of major brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder - has been identified for the first time by researchers at the University of Bristol, UK. view more (2007-03-01)
MIT-led team IDs gene key to Alzheimer's-like reversal
A team led by researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has now pinpointed the exact gene responsible for a 2007 breakthrough in which mice with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease regained long-term memories and the ability to learn. view more (2009-05-07)
Caltech scientists find evidence for precise communication across brain areas during sleep
By listening in on the chatter between neurons in various parts of the brain, researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have taken steps toward fully understanding just how memories are formed, transferred, and ultimately stored in the brain--and how that process varies throughout the various stages of sleep. view more (2009-02-26)
What memories are made of
Why is it that amnesia patients can't remember their names or addresses, but they do remember how to hold a fork? It's because memories come in many flavors, says Fred Helmstetter, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). Remembering what is not the same as remembering how. view more (2007-01-04)
Korean War veterans still affected by war trauma
At least one in five veterans of the Korean War continues to be adversely affected by their experiences, according to research recently presented to a nursing conference in Seoul, South Korea. view more (2004-09-13)
Scientists capture the first image of memories being made
The ability to learn and to establish new memories is essential to our daily existence and identity; enabling us to navigate through the world. view more (2009-06-19)
Estrogen Controls How the Brain Processes Sound
Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in how the brain processes sounds. view more (2009-05-06)
Virtual reality can improve memory-Perhaps too much
Conventional wisdom tells us that experience is the best teacher. But a new study of virtual marketing strategies finds that this isn't always true. view more (2006-12-06)
That gut feeling may actually reflect a reliable memory
You know the feeling. You make a decision you're certain is merely a "lucky guess." A new study from Northwestern University offers precise electrophysiological evidence that such decisions may sometimes not be guesswork after all. view more (2009-02-09)
Penn Researchers Pinpoint the Brain Waves That Distinguish False Memories From Real Ones
For the first time, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are able to pinpoint brain waves that distinguish true from false memories, providing a better understanding of how memory works and creating a new strategy to help epilepsy patients retain cognitive function. view more (2007-10-24)
Controlling our brain's perception of emotional events
Research performed by Nicole Lauzon and Dr. Steven Laviolette of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at The University of Western Ontario has found key processes in the brain that control the emotional significance of our experiences and how we form memories of them. view more (2009-04-21)
Hopkins researchers discover how brain protein might control memory
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have figured out how one particular protein contributes to long-term memory and helps the brain remember things longer than an hour or two. view more (2006-11-13)
Carnegie Mellon study offers new clues about memory
A study conducted by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh involving an amnesia-inducing drug has shed light on how we form new memories. view more (2006-07-19)
