Researchers report the posterior cingulate plays a critical role in creating permanent, durable memories.
Researchers confirm the mental fogginess produced as a result of taking the cancer drug tamoxifen, is real. They have also discovered an existing drug compound which appears to counteract the effects of this medication.
A newly developed antibody has shown to trigger a meaningful reduction of amyloid beta in patients with early stage Alzheimer's disease.
Decreased blood flow and blood oxygen levels to the hippocampus may explain symptoms of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's. Researchers say increasing hippocampal blood flow could reverse or protect against symptoms of the neurodegenerative disorder.
MRI scans show hippocampal shrinkage during periods of chronic stress in rats, a new study reports.
A rare autoimmune disorder popularized by the autobiography and movie "Brain on Fire" is triggered by an attack on NMDA receptors. The disease occurs when antibodies attack NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to memory loss, intellectual changes, seizures, and death.
Researchers report practicing simple meditation and listening to music can have benefits for those with preclinical memory loss.
Using the nerve cells of sea snails, researchers reverse memory loss by determining when cells were primed for learning. Retraining cells with the use of an optimized training schedule helped compensate for memory loss.
Researchers report the results of MRI scans and psychological testing show marked improvements in memory for ten Alzheimer's patients following treatments with programmatic and personalized therapy.
Selenium, a natural mineral found in grains, meats, and nuts can reverse cognitive impairment following a stroke and improve learning and memory in the aging brain.
Researchers have identified a neural process which could help restore lost memories and bury bad memories.
Researchers report osterocalcin, a naturally occurring hormone, can help boost memory in aging mice. The findings pave the way for new treatments to help stave off, and possibly reverse memory loss in humans.
