People move their eyes to determine whether or not they have seen an image before. Their eye movement patterns could predict memory mistakes. Findings reveal eye movements play a functional role in memory retrieval. Read More
While genetics may increase your risk of developing dementia, other factors such as lifestyle and environment may play a key role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Middle-aged people with the Alzheimer's related APOE4 gene have a harder time accessing recently acquired knowledge, even when they show no symptoms of memory decline. Read More
Researchers report poor attentiveness and becoming more distracted during simple tasks could signify early symptoms of cerebral small vessel disease. Read More
Researchers report signs of memory problems in old age may be a result of hearing loss and not a neurodegenerative disease. Read More
A new study reports older adults exhibit greater eye movements, but this does not correlate with an increase in brain activity patterns. Researchers say, while the eyes and brain are taking in environmental information, the link to creating memories of what is seen weakens over a life time. Read More
According to researchers, bilingual people and trained musicians utilize fewer resources in their brains while completing working memory tasks. As their brains require less effort to perform tasks, researchers speculate this could protect them from the onset of cognitive decline. Read More
A new study reveals the brain may reassign tasks to different regions of the brain in order to counter the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers have developed a new strategy to help older people recall the names of people they have met. Read More
Chemotherapy is often blamed for memory loss and cognitive problems in cancer survivors. However, new research published in Neuroscience challenges this belief. Researchers report cognitive impairments, often referred to as Chemo Fog, may actually start as the tumor grows and develops. Read More
Researchers reveal a helpful strategy to help those with cognitive problems to improve their memory. Read More
According to researchers, the key to retaining information is to relate it to something meaningful rather than to repeat it parrot fashion. Read More
