Study offers new clues to brain-stomach interaction in overeating
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have found new clues to how the brain and the stomach interact with emotions to cause overeating and obesity. view more (2006-10-03)
Can moths or butterflies remember what they learned as caterpillars?
Butterflies and moths are well known for their striking metamorphosis from crawling caterpillars to winged adults. In light of this radical change, not just in body form, but also in lifestyle, diet and dependence on particular sensory cues, it would seem unlikely that learned associations or memories formed at the larval or caterpillar stage... view more...

Scientists zero in on memory-related proteins at the core of Alzheimer's disease
New research sheds light on how the formation of long-term memories may be blocked in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-10-19)
Childbirth triggers post-traumatic stress
These were the findings of a study published today, Tuesday 14 March, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology, by Dr Pauline Slade and Dr Jo Czarnocka, of Sheffield University. view more (2000-03-16)
UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre), vibrations caused by temperature can erase their... view more... (2003-07-10)
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)
Discovery supports theory of Alzheimer's disease as form of diabetes
Insulin, it turns out, may be as important for the mind as it is for the body. Research in the last few years has raised the possibility that Alzheimer's memory loss could be due to a novel third form of diabetes. view more (2007-09-27)
Brain region linked to fly slumber
Researchers at Northwestern University have pinpointed a brain area in flies that is crucial to sleep, raising interesting speculation over the purpose of sleep and its possible link with learning and memory. view more (2006-06-08)
Brain structure associated with fear inhibition also may influence personality
The relationship between the size of a brain structure and the ability to recover from traumatic experiences also may influence overall personality type. view more (2005-11-28)
New Journal of Physics Quantum Cryptography Focus Issue
Real advances in quantum cryptography are described today, 12 July 2002, in a special issue of New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical Society. Electronic transfer of information is vulnerable to attack by "eavesdroppers", hence the use of encryption techniques. Underlying nearly all forms of... view more... (2002-07-10)
Believe your eyes but not your memory
Watching a horrific event, like a terrorist attack, leaves a lasting mark on the memory. But with a little wrong information some people can be misled into believing they have witnessed a major incident when it was actually impossible for them to have done so. view more (2004-04-16)
To understand the big picture, give it time — and sleep
Memorizing a series of facts is one thing, understanding the big picture is quite another. Now a new study demonstrates that relational memory — the ability to make logical "big picture" inferences from disparate pieces of information - is dependent on taking a break from studies and learning, and even more important, getting a... view more...

Selective amnesia — How a traumatic memory can be wiped out
French CNRS scientists in collaboration have shown that a memory of a traumatic event can be wiped out, although other, associated recollections remain intact. view more (2007-04-02)
Seeing what we are thinking
At last we can see ourselves thinking, using the technique known as functional brain imaging (fMRI), and some of the exciting developments in this field were described in a series of papers presented today, Thursday 29 March, at The British Psychological Society's Centenary Annual Conference, held at the SECC, Glasgow. Dr Adrian Owen, of the... view more... (2001-03-26)
Magnetic brain stimulation improves skill learning
The use of magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) region of the brain results in an improved ability to learn a skilled motor task. view more (2009-07-07)
The Effect of Gamma Waves on Cognitive and Language Skills in Children
New studies conducted by April Benasich, professor of neuroscience at Rutgers University in Newark, and her colleagues reveal that gamma wave activity in the brains of children provide a window into their cognitive development, and could open the way for more effective intervention for those likely to experience language problems. view more (2008-10-22)
Sea lions score top marks
CALIFORNIA sea lions may have the best memory of all non-human creatures. A female called Rio that learned a trick involving letters and numbers could still perform it 10 years later- even though she hadn`t performed the trick in the intervening period. Learning concepts such as "sameness"- when one letter or number matches another, for example-... view more... (2002-10-24)
Birds learn to fly with a little help from their ancestors
It is widely known that birds learn to fly through practice, gradually refining their innate ability into a finely tuned skill. view more (2007-08-15)
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)
Study shows how sleep improves memory
A good night's sleep triggers changes in the brain that help to improve memory, according to a new study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). view more (2005-06-29)
