Brain-boosting pill alleviates post-chemotherapy fogginess
A drug described by some people as a "genius pill" for enhancing cognitive function provided relief to a small group of Rochester breast cancer survivors who were coping with a side effect known as "chemo-brain," according to a University of Rochester Medical Center study. view more (2007-06-04)
Memory function: There is hope for alcoholics with Korsakoff Syndrome
People with Korsakoff Syndrome (KS), a brain disorder usually associated with long-term heavy drinking and thiamine deficiency, often have profound deficits in their "explicit memory" or ability to recall recent events. view more (2006-03-27)
Why one way of learning is better than another
A new study from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of McGill University reveals that different patterns of training and learning lead to different types of memory formation. view more (2009-10-02)
Brain region linked to fly slumber
Researchers at Northwestern University have pinpointed a brain area in flies that is crucial to sleep, raising interesting speculation over the purpose of sleep and its possible link with learning and memory. view more (2006-06-08)

Memory machine
What happens in our brains when we learn and remember" Are memories recorded in a stable physical change, like writing an inscription permanently on a clay tablet" Prof. Yadin Dudai, Head of the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department, and his colleagues are challenging that view. view more (2007-08-17)
Brain model enhances understanding of schizophrenia
A new model for the interaction among the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex may be a step on the way to improving treatment for schizophrenia and ADHD. The model, which describes the function of three types of inhibitory nerve cells in the frontal lobe, is being presented in the scientific journal PNAS by researchers from Linköping... view more...

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
