Drug users unaware of memory problems
Ecstasy and cannabis do impair memory - but regular users don't think so. View More (1999-03-26)
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)
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)
People learn while they sleep, study suggests
People may be learning while they're sleeping - an unconscious form of memory that is still not well understood, according to a study by Michigan State University researchers. View More (2011-09-28)
Forgetting the future? Prospective memory impairments in ecstasy users
New research presented today, Wednesday 28 March, at The British Psychological Society’s Centenary Annual Conference, held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow, now shows that ecstasy use can lead to impairments in ‘prospective memory’. This is the part of memory to do with remembering things ones has to do in the future. Dr Tom Heffernan and Dr Andrew... View More (2001-03-26)
Greater Working Memory Capacity Benefits Analytic, But Not Creative, Problem-Solving
Anyone who has tried to remember a ten-digit phone number or a nine-item grocery list knows that we can only hold so much information in mind at a given time. View More (2012-08-08)
Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition. View More (2004-10-12)
New clues as to why some older people may be losing their memory
New research links 'silent strokes,' or small spots of dead brain cells, found in about one out of four older adults to memory loss in the elderly. View More (2012-01-03)
Life can be sweet in old age
Psychologists have discovered that taking glucose in old age can improve memory. Leigh Riby and Cheryl Glover of Glasgow Caledonian University will present the results of their study today, Thursday 15 April 2004, at the British Psychological Society's Annual Conference at Imperial College, London. The study was carried out using 20 people aged between 60 and 80 years. The participants were... View More (2004-04-16)
Scan visualises poor memory in the elderly
Dutch psychologists have found that elderly persons with a poor memory demonstrate less activity in the mediotemporal lobe when storing new information than elderly persons with a normally functioning memory. Sander Daselaar from the Free University of Amsterdam made scans of the activity in various brain areas. These showed differences between elderly persons with a good memory and elderly...

'Memory molecule' stores memories in neocortex
The "memory storage molecule" - PKMzeta - maintains long-term memories in the neocortex and its presence is continually required in order for the memory to endure, according to a finding by researchers at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel and SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Tracing the formation of long-term memory
The formation of long-term memory in fruit flies can be demonstrated by the influx of calcium into cells called mushroom body neurons that occurs after special training that includes periods of rest, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Neuron.

Gene variant leads to better memory via increased brain activation
Carriers of the so-called KIBRA T allele have better memories than those who don't have this gene variant. This means we can reject the theory that the brain of a non-bearer compensates for this. This is shown by researchers from Umeå University in The Journal of Neuroscience. View More (2011-10-18)
Montreal researchers probe the genetic basis of memory
A group of Montreal researchers has discovered that GCN2, a protein in cells that inhibits the conversion of new information into long-term memory, may be a master regulator of the switch from short-term to long-term memory. View More (2005-08-31)
Hot flashes underreported and linked to forgetfulness
Women in midlife underreport the number of hot flashes that they experience by more than 40 percent, and these hot flashes are linked to poor verbal memory, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. View More (2008-06-17)
First evidence that blueberry juice improves memory in older adults
Scientists are reporting the first evidence from human research that blueberries - one of the richest sources of healthful antioxidants and other so-called phytochemicals - improve memory. View More (2010-01-21)
Motor memory: The long and short of it
For the first time, scientists at USC have unlocked a mechanism behind the way short- and long-term motor memory work together and compete against one another. View More (2011-09-14)
'Shopping on Ecstasy': everyday memory loss associated with persistent ecstasy use
Persistent use of ecstasy leads to a loss of everyday memory, researchers from Northumbria University have discovered. For the study 23 regular users of ecstasy were compared to 30 people who had never used the drug. View More (2005-05-06)
Sleep strengthens memories and makes them resistant to interfering information
Researchers have uncovered new evidence that sleep improves the brain's ability to remember information. Their findings demonstrate that memories of recently learned word pairs are improved if sleep intervenes between learning and testing and that this benefit is most pronounced when memory is challenged by competing information.

Working memory retains visual details despite distractions
The ability to retain memory about the details of a natural scene is unaffected by the distraction of another activity and this information is retained in "working memory". View More (2006-01-20)
