Dietary fats trigger long-term memory formation
Having strong memories of that rich, delicious dessert you ate last night? If so, you shouldn't feel like a glutton. It's only natural. view more (2009-04-28)
Experience affects new neuron survival in adult brain; study sheds light on learning, memory
Experience in the early development of new neurons in specific brain regions affects their survival and activity in the adult brain, new research shows. How these new neurons store information about these experiences may explain how they can affect learning and memory in adults. view more (2007-03-23)
Hormone important in recognizing familiar faces
Oxytocin, a hormone involved in child-birth and breast-feeding, helps people recognize familiar faces, according to new research in the January 7 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. view more (2009-01-07)
Mayo Clinic research shows that improving brain processing speed helps memory
Mayo Clinic researchers found that healthy, older adults who participated in a computer-based training program to improve the speed and accuracy of brain processing showed twice the improvement in certain aspects of memory, compared to a control group. view more (2009-02-11)
Could Breakfast Hold Key To Classroom Performance?
Girls need a more satisfying breakfast than boys if they are to perform at their best in the classroom - a new University of Ulster study has revealed. Dr Barbara Stewart, from the Northern Ireland Centre for Diet and Health at UU, led the research project, where pupils were fed a breakfast of toast or beans and toast and then tested on cognitive... view more...

The brain's motivation station
The prospect of a paycheck, good grade, or promotion wonderfully concentrates the mind, and researchers have now identified the brain circuitry responsible for such reward-motivated learning. view more (2006-05-04)
UGA researchers discover 'episodic-like' memory in rats
Human memory is a mental scrapbook, filled with moments of luminous happiness or unforgettable sorrow. view more (2006-07-11)
New strategy to weaken traumatic memories
Imagine that you have been in combat and that you have watched your closest friend die in front of you. The memory of that event may stay with you, troubling you for the rest of your life. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is among the most common and disabling psychiatric casualties of combat and other extremely stressful situations. view more (2009-03-17)
Team led by Carnegie Mellon University scientist finds first evidence of a living memory trace
An international team of scientists for the first time has detected a memory trace in a living animal after it has encountered a single, new stimulus. view more (2005-11-15)
Memory experts show sleeping rats may have visual dreams
Memories of our life stories may be reinforced while we sleep, MIT researchers report Dec. 17 in the advance online edition of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2006-12-19)
How the brain weaves a memory
Memories of events comprise many components-including sights, sounds, smells, and tastes. Somehow the many features of an episodic memory are woven together into a coherent whole, and researchers have had little understanding of how this binding takes place as the memories are processed by the brain's memory center, the hippocampus. view more (2006-11-09)
Stroke patients may be more likely to experience memory decline
A history of stroke may be associated with progressive memory difficulties in patients without dementia or cognitive impairment. view more (2006-04-11)
Researchers find link between improved memory and the use of neurofeedback
Scientists from Imperial College London and Charing Cross Hospital believe that it may be possible to improve memory by up to 10 percent through the use of neurofeedback. The results announced in the International Journal of Psychophysiology this month show a link between neurofeedback training and improved memory in a 40 person trial. Dr David... view more...

A Window into the Brain
When we absorb new information, the human brain reshapes itself to store this newfound knowledge. But where exactly is the new knowledge kept, and how does that capacity to adapt reflect our risk for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of senile dementia later in our lives? view more (2009-08-13)
Declines in other thinking and learning skills may precede memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Cognitive abilities other than memory, including visuospatial skills needed to perceive relationships between objects, may decline years prior to a clinical diagnosis in patients with Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2009-10-13)
New technology opens gateway to studying HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies
Many scientists believe a vaccine that prevents HIV infection will need to stimulate the body to make neutralizing antibodies, infection-fighting proteins that prevent HIV from entering immune cells. view more (2009-03-16)
Memory design breakthrough can lead to faster computers
Team improves infinitesimal rings for speedy, reliable, efficient magnetic memory. Imagine a computer that doesn't lose data even in a sudden power outage, or a coin-sized hard drive that could store 100 or more movies. view more (2006-01-12)
Quantum memory and turbulence in ultra-cold atoms
Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks. view more (2009-07-20)
New microchip design could be the key to expanding mobile phone memory
Mobile phones could one day have the memory capacity of a desktop computer thanks to a microchip that mimics the functioning of the brain, scientists report today (9 September) in the journal Science. view more (2005-09-09)
Study finds how brain remembers single events
Single events account for many of our most vivid memories - a marriage proposal, a wedding toast, a baby's birth. Until a recent UC Irvine discovery, however, scientists knew little about what happens inside the brain that allows you to remember such events. view more (2009-03-19)
