What is it about the brain-on-alcohol that makes fighting seem like a good idea" And do all intoxicated people get more aggressive" Or does it depend on the circumstances" view more (2007-07-18)
Brandeis researchers propose model of neural circuit underlying working memory
Our ability to understand speech or decide which fruit in the store is freshest depends on the brain's dexterity in integrating information over time. view more (2005-12-21)
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...

People with rare type of memory loss still sensitive to others, study shows
People with a devastating brain injury that has wiped out many of their personal memories may still be able to understand other people's feelings and intentions. view more (2007-11-26)
'Speed of thought' guides brain's memory consolidation
Scientists at The University of Arizona have added another piece of the puzzle of how the brain processes memory. view more (2007-11-16)
New research accepted for publication in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, demonstrates Pycnogenol, (pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, improves the memory of senior citizens.
The study results revealed Pycnogenol improved both numerical working memory as well as spatial working memory using a computerized testing system. The research was presented last week at the Oxygen Club of California 2008 World Congress on Oxidants and Antioxidants in Biology in Santa Barbara, CA. view more (2008-03-18)
Decoding short-term memory with fMRI
People voluntarily pick what information they store in short-term memory. Now, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers can see just what information people are holding in memory based only on patterns of activity in the brain. view more (2009-02-23)
Education does not protect against age-related memory loss, say USC researchers
Adults over 70 with higher levels of education forgot words at a greater rate than those with less education, according to a new study from the University of Southern California. view more (2007-01-10)
Language skills develop at 6, say researchers
Psychologists at the University of Liverpool have discovered that children as young as six are as adept at recognising possible verbs and their past tenses as adults. view more (2008-04-29)
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)
T cell immunity enhanced by timing of interleukin-7 therapy
That the cell nurturing growth factor interleukin-7 can help ramp up the ability of the immune system to remember the pathogenic villains it encounters is well known. view more (2008-02-04)
Flame retardants cause brain damage in young mice
Reduced adaptability, hyperactivity, and disturbances in memory and learning functions. These are deficiencies mice and rats evince when exposed to bromide flame retardants, such as those found in computers, textiles, and other materials in our surroundings, during the period when the brain develops most rapidly. Our environment contains a... view more... (2004-11-01)
Preventing overload in the brain
Brain researchers in Amsterdam have observed a double control system in the hippocampus. This double control system contributes to the memory and ensures that the brain does not `crash`, as is the case during an epileptic seizure. The neurobiologists from the University of Amsterdam carried out their observations on the hippocampus of rats. The... view more... (2002-01-29)
A fork in memory lane: UCSD research indicates hippocampus supports two aspects of recognition
Recollection, as defined by memory specialists, is the ability to call up specific details about an encounter, while familiarity is simply knowing that someone or something has been encountered before. Both are elements of recognition memory and both, new research suggests, are functions of the brain's hippocampus. view more (2006-02-02)
Mayo Clinic study finds weight loss precedes dementia diagnosis in women
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that women who develop dementia experience a decline in weight as many as 10 years prior to the onset of memory loss, compared to peers who do not develop dementia. view more (2006-07-17)
How brain injury leads to seizures, memory problems
In a finding that may provide a scientific basis for eventual treatment, neurology researchers have shown that traumatic brain injury reduces the level of a protein that helps keep brain activity in balance. view more (2006-10-19)
ORNL finding could help electronics industry enter new phase
Electronic devices of the future could be smaller, faster, more powerful and consume less energy because of a discovery by researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2009-06-18)
Researchers uncover approach for possibly eradicating HIV infection
Researchers from the newly-established VGTI Florida and the University of Montreal have uncovered a possible method for eradicating HIV infection in the human body. view more (2009-06-22)
