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)
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... view more... (1999-06-21)
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)
Many patients are not satisfied with electroconvulsive therapy
Around 11,000 people receive electroconvulsive therapy in England each year, yet controversy exists as to whether treatment is beneficial and whether patients are satisfied with it. view more (2003-06-18)
Infections may lead to faster memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Getting a cold, stomach bug or other infection may lead to increased memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-09-08)
The deactivation of two genes could be the cause of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease could be caused by the deactivation of what are known as "presenilin genes". Using mice as a model for the study of Alzheimer's in humans, a scientific team headed by the researcher Carlos Saura, from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that when these genes mutate and stop working they cause... view more...

'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)
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)
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... view more... (2001-03-26)
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)
New research suggests that recognising early impairments may make Alzheimer's a treatable disease
Alzheimer's Disease need no longer be a death sentence but will become more treatable, if detected in its early stages. Evidence on brain scans, in conjunction with performance on psychological test showing mild cognitive impairments (MCI) like slight memory loss, pinpoints more people at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. A study at SCP will... view more... (1999-03-16)
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)
Drug users unaware of memory problems
Ecstasy and cannabis do impair memory - but regular users don't think so. view more (1999-03-26)
'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. view more (2007-08-17)
Antidepressants aid electroconvulsive therapy in treating severe depression
Combining antidepressant drugs with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) does a better job of reducing symptoms of severe depression and causes less memory loss than using ECT alone. view more (2009-07-07)
New study may help understand how Alzheimer's robs sufferers of episodic memory
Memory loss is love's great thief. Those who suffer aren't just the ones who can't remember-family, friends and loved ones agonize over how to react when the disorder begins its often inexorable progress. view more (2009-05-19)
Early identification of dementia increasingly difficult
If grandma seems to forget things, will she end up demented? These days, memory loss is one of the very few symptoms that may signal which 70-year-olds risk developing dementia view more (2009-05-21)
Research team identifies human 'memory gene'
Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) today announced the discovery of a gene that plays a significant role in memory performance in humans. view more (2006-10-23)

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)
