Cognitive enhancement drugs do not help improve cognition or function in the long term for patients with mild cognitive impairment, a new study shows.
A discovery about pyramidal neurons in the CA3 area of the hippocampus could help researchers develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other age related memory loss problems.
A new study reveals people with central hearing loss are twice as likely to suffer mild cognitive impairment than those with no hearing loss.
A new study from USC finds people often over-estimate how much we will think about, or talk of, happy memories.
Researchers erase drug associated memories in mice and rats without affecting other memories.
A combination of neuroimaging and long term memory tests could help with the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
Researchers have identified a unique memory suppressor gene that may be useful for developing new treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have discovered a gene that could help to identify marijuana users most at risk for developing symptoms of psychosis. The study also reports female users are more susceptible to short term memory loss than males.
According to a new study, amyloid beta, a key component in Alzheimer's disease progression, can cause memory loss in healthy brains prior to the onset of dementia.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the parietal lobe improves the function of brain areas important for memory which are disrupted by aging. The study reports TMS helps improve memory in older adults experiencing memory loss to the level of younger adults.
Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disorder associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. The condition not only affects physical health, it also has a detrimental effect on the mental health of many who suffer from the condition.
Musical memories are often preserved in those with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say listening to music can have a positive impact on emotion and behavior for those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
