Histamines Can Boost Long Term Memory of Objects
Researchers report histamines can help improve memory of objects up-to 25 days longer than normal in mice, as well as improving people's long term memory test scores. The study suggests taking histamines may help alleviate symptoms of memory disorders such as Alzheimer's and other dementias.... Read More...

Babies Can Use Context to Look For Things
At 6 months of age, babies are capable of memory guided attention, a new study reveals. Young infants are able to learn and remember contextual visual cues to find objects of interest, researchers report. The findings shed new light on both typical and atypical brain development.... Read More...
The Brain at Work: Spotting Half Hidden Objects
Researchers have identified how signals from the visual and prefrontal cortices may interact to help us recognize shapes that are not entirely visible.... Read More...
