Physical fitness improves spatial memory, increases size of brain structure
When it comes to the hippocampus, a brain structure vital to certain types of memory, size matters. Numerous studies have shown that bigger is usually better. view more (2009-02-25)
Generation of a severe memory-deficit mutant mouse by exclusively eliminating the kinase activity of CaMKIIalpha
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (CaMKII alpha) is an enzyme that adds phosphates to a variety of protein substrates to modify their functions. view more (2009-06-19)
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)
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)
Light exercise a tonic to keep the brain young
In the first study to show that lifelong exercise decreases cellular aging in the brain, scientists from the McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida say that moderately active rats have healthier DNA and more robust brain cells than their less active counterparts. view more (2005-11-14)
New research shows reactivating single memory does not affect associated memories
Researchers at a trio of universities have found that reactivating a specific memory does not affect associated or related memories, adding to our understanding of how memories are stored and influenced. view more (2006-02-14)
New invention that could change design of future memory storage devices
A research team at Singapore A*STAR's Data Storage Institute (DSI) has invented a new phase change material that has the potential to change the design of future memory storage devices. view more (2008-10-08)
Fetal short-term memory found in 30-week-old fetuses
Memory probably begins during the prenatal period, but little is known about the exact timing or for how long memory lasts. Now in a new study from the Netherlands, scientists have found fetal short-term memory in fetuses at 30 weeks. view more (2009-07-15)
Salt supplements vital for brain development of premature babies
Salt is critical to the brain development of premature babies, suggests research in the Fetal and Neonatal Edition. Language, memory, intelligence and coordination were all better in children, who had been born premature but whose diets had been supplemented with salt shortly after birth. view more (2002-03-04)
University research dispels popular myth
New research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has challenged the common belief that pregnant women suffer from memory and concentration impairment. A study by Dr Ros Crawley and her team concluded that there is no evidence to support widespread opinion that women's mental abilities weaken during pregnancy. Magazine articles, childcare... view more... (2003-03-13)
Mouse protein points to memory pill for the old
A drug to aid learning and memory in the elderly may be possible as a result of work being carried out at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London. A team led by Dr Karl Peter Giese, of the department of learning and memory, is looking at the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying memory - not so much the... view more... (2000-04-10)
Mental and physical exercise delays dementia in fatal genetic disease
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have discovered that mental and physical stimulation delays the onset of dementia in the fatal genetic disease, Huntington's disease. view more (2008-01-24)
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)
Doubts about False Memory Syndrome
These were the findings of a study published today, Tuesday 14 March, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by psychologist Dr Bernice Andrews, of Royal Holloway, University of London, and her colleagues. view more (2000-03-16)
Exercise and mental stimulation bothboost mouse memory late in life
Physical exercise is known to be good for the aging brain, but what about mental stimulation" Does enrichment that helps older people work well for the young and middle aged, or do they need something else" A report in the August issue of Behavioral Neuroscience tells how, in an animal experiment, older adults appear to benefit from... view more...

Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails. This is of crucial importance... view more... (2002-02-18)
MU Researchers Use Computational Models to Study Fear
The brain is a complex system made of billions of neurons and thousands of connections that relate to every human feeling, including one of the strongest emotions, fear. view more (2009-10-01)
Tracking the memory trace
Memory formation follows a dynamic pattern, allowing for retrieval from different areas of the brain, depending on when an organism needs to remember, said a researcher at Baylor College of Medicine. view more (2005-12-05)
Scientists capture the first image of memories being made
The ability to learn and to establish new memories is essential to our daily existence and identity; enabling us to navigate through the world. view more (2009-06-19)
Electric shocks can cause neurologic and neuropsychological symptoms
Canadian researchers have shown that an electric shock ranging from 120 to 52,000 volts can cause neurologic and neuropsychological symptoms in humans. view more (2008-05-16)
