Monkeys vaccinated against SIV survive longer after infection
Results of two new studies sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggest that even if an HIV vaccine offers imperfect protection against the virus, it might provide vaccinated individuals with an important benefit: a significant survival advantage... view more...

Getting forgetful? Then blueberries may hold the key
If you are getting forgetful as you get older, then a research team from the University of Reading and the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England may have good news for you. view more (2008-04-11)
Large study confirms UK Gulf war servicemen report more ill health
The largest study of UK Gulf war servicemen, published today in BMC Public Health confirms that forces deployed to the first Gulf War report more ill health than veterans who did not serve there. Rebecca Simmons, Noreen Maconochie and Pat Doyle from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that Gulf war veterans were more likely to... view more... (2004-07-08)
Two pathways found that lead to Alzheimer's disease
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a transitional stage between normal cognition and Alzheimer's disease, exists in two different forms. view more (2006-01-10)
Risk of death may be higher with drug commonly used during cardiac surgery
The risks of death are probably higher with aprotinin, a drug commonly used to control blood loss and transfusions during cardiac surgery. view more (2008-12-03)
Lab study shows THC exposure as adolescents linked to negative effects of THC as adults
In earlier studies, researchers at Louisiana State University had found that estrogen -- or more precisely, having ovaries -- made adult rats exposed for the first time to THC, the primary ingredient in marijuana and hashish, less sensitive to THC's negative effects on tests of learning and memory. view more (2009-04-20)
Lack of imagination in older adults linked to declining memory
Most children are able to imagine their future selves as astronauts, politicians or even superheroes; however, many older adults find it difficult to recollect past events, let alone generate new ones. view more (2008-01-08)
Vitamin D signals to prevent bone loss during osteoporosis
The risk of bone fracture resulting from falls increases as we age due to bone loss and osteoporosis. Physicians have routinely prescribed vitamin D and vitamin D-related drugs to retard bone loss, but until now, little was known about the specific targets of vitamin D in bone. view more (2006-01-20)
Danish Researchers Break the Limits of the Internet
A team of Danish physicists has taken a crucial step towards an Internet that is faster and more secure than what we know today. The researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have created an atomic memory that, in time, will be able to break the limits for Internet communication. The team's breakthrough was... view more... (2004-11-26)
Interaction between gene variants may alter brain function in schizophrenia
A collaborative study led by investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is giving what may be the first look at how interactions between genes underlie a key symptom of schizophrenia, impaired working memory. view more (2008-11-10)
Natural compound and exercise boost memory in mice
A natural compound found in blueberries, tea, grapes, and cocoa enhances memory in mice, according to newly published research. This effect increased further when mice also exercised regularly. view more (2007-05-30)
New discoveries about neuron plasticity linked to learning and memory
Neurons experience large-scale changes across their dendrites during learning, say neuroscientists at The University of Texas at Austin in a new study that highlights the important role that these cell regions may play in the processes of learning and memory. view more (2005-11-02)
New, intelligent materials for use in mechanical actuators
A research team at the Department of Physics at the Public University of Navarre are developing new, "intelligent" materials which have the capacity for changing shape when a magnetic field is applied to them. These materials may be used for the generation of ultrasonic signals, in the manufacture of loudspeakers and sonars or in... view more... (2004-01-29)
Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents
Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to make memory metals discovered by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2007-03-30)
Emotion and scent create lasting memories -- even in a sleeping brain
When French memoirist Marcel Proust dipped a pastry into his tea, the distinctive scent it produced suddenly opened the flood gates of his memory. view more (2008-10-17)
An amnesic patient with an extraordinary distorted memory
If somebody asks you "Do you remember what you did on March 13, 1985?" you are very likely to answer "I don't know", even if your memory is excellent. view more (2009-05-14)
Academics Seek Bilingual Volunteers For Language Study
Psychologists and linguists at the University of Edinburgh are recruiting Spanish; Japanese and native English-speaking adults for a research project, which will help understand how non-native languages, are learned and stored in the memory. The research aims to identify certain pitfalls in spelling, both in native and non-native speakers, and... view more... (2002-09-03)
ETH Researchers Decipher Learning Processes in Mice
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) belongs to a group of molecules that on the basis of earlier studies has been proposed to be a controlling factor for learning and memory. The ETH researchers produced genetically modified mice in which the activity of PP1 can be reduced at will. These animals were subjected to various learning and memory tests in one... view more...

Men and women with history of concussion mend differently, study finds
Female soccer players and soccer players who have had a previous concussion recuperate differently from males or players without a history of concussion, new research released today at the 2008 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes shows. view more (2008-07-10)
New Scripps Research study finds T-cell multiplication unexpectedly delayed after infection
In a surprising outcome that overturns the conventional wisdom on the body's immune response to infection, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have shown that T cells do not begin proliferation until up to three days after infection. view more (2008-04-11)
