Memory function varies after damage to key area of the brain
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered dramatic differences in the memory performance of patients with damage to the hippocampus, an area of the human brain key to memory. View More (2008-10-23)
Science closing in on mystery of age-related memory loss, says UAB neurobiologist
The world's scientific community may be one step closer to understanding age-related memory loss, and to developing a drug that might help boost memory. View More (2010-05-07)
Activation of a protein solidifies fear memory in the brain
When activated, a specific protein in the brain enhances long-term storage of fearful memories and strengthens previously established fearful memories. View More (2006-01-25)
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)
When less attention improves behavior
new study conducted at the Centre for Studies and Research in Cognitive Neuroscience of the University of Bologna, and published by Elsevier in the February 2009 issue of Cortex shows that, in confabulating patients, memory accuracy improves when attentional resources are reduced.

C-myc required by the immune system
C-myc, a gene commonly involved in cancer onset, has been found to have a role in the immune system's normal function according to a study published today in Blood. View More (2006-05-12)
Scripps Florida scientists shed light on age-related memory loss and possible treatments
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have shown in animal models that the loss of memory that comes with aging is not necessarily a permanent thing. View More (2012-04-03)
Memory uses separate information pathways
The researchers studied two signals from different sensory parts of the brain, one of which arrived at the perirhinal and the other at the postrhinal cerebral cortex. These parts of the brain are located close to the sulcus and receive information from areas of the brain which process different types of sensory information. The information enters the hippocampal memory system, which plays an... View More (1999-11-09)
How to tell apart the forgetful from those at risk of Alzheimer's disease
It can be difficult to distinguish between people with normal age-associated memory loss and those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). View More (2012-02-03)
Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage. View More (2007-06-11)
EDINBURGH MEN SOUGHT FOR MEMORY LOSS STUDY
Professor Jonathan Seckl's team, based at the Centre for the Study of the Ageing Brain at the Western General Hospital, has already carried out research which indicates memory loss in the elderly may tie in with higher-than-normal levels of glucocorticoids, hormones which boost blood sugar levels in times of stress. The researchers believe abnormally high levels of these hormones may damage the... View More (1999-06-21)
Schizophrenia could cause patients to forget their medication
Patients with schizophrenia must take medication regularly to reduce their risk of relapse. But the disease impairs memory, according to an article published in BMC Psychiatry, meaning these patients may have difficulty in remembering to take their tablets. Habitual tasks, like taking medicine every few hours, rely on "prospective memory". This type of memory, which appears to be... View More (2003-08-12)
Older women with memory problems at increased risk for restless nights
Older women experiencing memory loss are more likely than women without cognitive decline to have problems falling asleep and staying asleep. View More (2007-07-17)
University of Alberta led research may have discovered how memories are encoded in our brains
University of Alberta led research may have discovered how memories are encoded in our brains. View More (2012-03-20)
Fear can be erased from the brain
Newly formed emotional memories can be erased from the human brain. This is shown by researchers from Uppsala University in a new study now being published by the academic journal Science. View More (2012-09-21)
Smarter memory device holds key to greener gadgets
Fast, low-energy memory for MP3s, smartphones and cameras could become a reality thanks to a development by scientists. View More (2011-03-29)
Human working memory is based on dynamic interaction networks in the brain
A research project of the Neuroscience Center of the University of Helsinki sheds light on the neuronal mechanisms sustaining memory traces of visual stimuli in the human brain. View More (2010-04-14)
Have we met before? Scientists show why the brain has the answer
The research, led by Dr Clea Warburton and Dr Gareth Barker in the University's School of Physiology and Pharmacology and published in the Journal of Neuroscience, has investigated why we can recognise faces much better if we have extra clues as to where or indeed when we encountered them in the first place.

Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron. View More (2006-04-04)
When you can recite a poem but not remember who asked you to learn it a few days earlier
Memory is not a single process but is made up of several sub-processes relying on different areas of the brain. View More (2011-08-11)
