New record for information storage and retrieval lifetime advances quantum networks
Physicists have taken a significant step toward creation of quantum networks by establishing a new record for the length of time that quantum information can be stored in and retrieved from an ensemble of very cold atoms. view more (2008-12-08)
Khmer Rouge trials offer baseline study for mental health impact to a society of war crimes tribunal
A UNC-led study finds that 75 percent of Cambodians believe the Khmer Rouge trials will provide justice and promote reconciliation, but more than 87 percent of people old enough to remember the torture and murder during the Khmer Rouge era say the trials will rekindle "painful memories." view more (2009-08-06)
Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails. This is of crucial importance... view more... (2002-02-18)
Patients with amnesia 'live in the present'
Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London, have shown that people with damage to the hippocampus, the area of the brain that plays a crucial role in learning and memory, not only have trouble remembering the past but also in imagining new and future experiences. view more (2007-01-16)
Memory mission explores new territory in neuroscience
Astrophysicists peer into the far corners of deep space for dark matter, but for neuroscientists at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) exploring the unknown is much closer to home. view more (2008-11-21)
Longevity gene also protects memory, cognitive function
A gene variation that helps people live into their 90s and beyond also protects their memories and ability to think and learn new information, according to a study published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
Neuronal Receptor Response May Help Explain Alzheimer's Memory Loss
Based on laboratory research, scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have a new theory as to why people with Alzheimer's disease have trouble performing even the simplest memory tasks, such as remembering a family member's name. view more (2006-02-13)
Mental and physical exercise delays dementia in fatal genetic disease
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have discovered that mental and physical stimulation delays the onset of dementia in the fatal genetic disease, Huntington's disease. view more (2008-01-24)
The Sound Of Silence From Ulster's Classical Composers
Northern Ireland's classical composers - unlike virtually every other section of the arts community here - have avoided the Troubles of the last 30 years as a source of inspiration for their work, according to research from the University of Ulster. Hilary Bracefield, senior lecturer at the University of Ulster's school of Media and Performing... view more... (2002-12-11)
Scientists find that individuals in vegetative states can learn
Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness. view more (2009-09-21)
Study shows psychotherapy useful in treating post-traumatic stress disorder in early stages
When treated within a month, survivors of a psychologically traumatic event improved significantly with psychotherapy, according to a new study presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting. view more (2007-12-10)
Epsilon4 allele carriers show altered brain activity before onset of Alzheimer's symptoms
Healthy individuals who are at risk of Alzheimer's disease show reduced activity in the hippocampal region of the brain when performing tasks related to forming new memories. view more (2006-01-13)
New Brandeis research sheds light on memory by erasing it
For years, scientists have studied the molecular basis of memory storage, trying to find the molecules that store memory, just as DNA stores genetic memory. view more (2007-05-09)
ARES fills the vacuum
Ares Research Technology, a new start-up company which will design and assemble scientific equipment that works at ultra-high vacuum, was launched today at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory. The company will supply advanced instruments for use on X-ray sources in laboratories and at synchrotron light sources around the world. view more (2005-04-05)

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)
Neuroscientists discover long-term potentiation in the olfactory bulb
Ben W. Strowbridge, Ph.D, associate professor of Neuroscience and Physiology/Biophysics, and Yuan Gao, a Ph.D. student in the neurosciences program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, are the first to discover a form of synaptic memory in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that processes the sense of smell. view more (2009-05-04)
Physicists demonstrate storage and retrieval of single photons between remote memories
A series of publications in the journal Nature highlights the race among competing research groups toward the long-anticipated goal of quantum networking. view more (2005-12-08)
UT Southwestern researchers discover brain's memory 'buffer' in single cells
Individual nerve cells in the front part of the brain can hold traces of memories on their own for as long as a minute and possibly longer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-01-26)
Children's National scientists uncover key developmental mechanisms of the amygdala
For the first time, scientists at Children's National Medical Center have successfully identified a key developmental program for the amygdala-the part of the limbic system that impacts how the brain creates emotional memories and responses. view more (2009-01-13)
