Scientists Show Hippocampus's Role In Long Term Memory
2008-03-10 22:43:00 ScienceDaily (May 13, 2004) ? The formation of new memories and the retrieval of older memories are both evidenced in the hippocampus region of the brain, according to recent research by NYU neuroscientists. The role of the hippocampus in the formation of new memories has been well-documented, but the contribution of this structure to the representation and retrieval of long-term memories is less clear. In research published in the May 13 issue of Neuron, a team of scientists led b... More About: Memory , Show , Scientists , Role , Long
A Cellular Correlate of Learning-induced Metaplasticity in the Hippocampus
2008-03-09 23:22:00 Abstract Metaplasticity, the plasticity of synaptic plasticity, is thought to have a pivotal role in activity-dependent modulation of synaptic connectivity, which underlies learning and memory. Metaplasticity is usually attributed to modifications in glutamate receptor-mediated synaptic transmission. However, experimental evidence and theoretical considerations suggest that learning reduces the predisposition for further synaptic strengthening, while behavioral studies show that learning capabi...

Memory, Learning, and Emotion: the Hippocampus
2008-03-08 21:21:00 Emotion and memory are very closely related. You know this from your experience. Go to a party, meet a bunch of new people. Which faces are you going to remember? The woman who made you laugh, the man who made you feel embarrassed, and your new boss -- the ones who had an emotional impact. So perhaps you would not be surprised to learn that the a portion of the emotion system of the brain (the "limbic system") is in charge of transferring informatio...

Taxi drivers' knowledge helps their brains grow
2008-03-07 23:24:00 Cabbies really do have more grey matter to store all that information, scientists say Satellite navigation systems can stunt your brain, preventing it from developing, according to scientists. They have discovered that taxi drivers have actually grown more brain cells because of all the knowledge they keep in their heads. When the scientists compared the brains of taxi drivers with those of other drivers, they found the cabbies had more grey matter in the area of the brain ass...

Facts on Sleep: While small children typically take naps in the afternoon, our culture generally frowns upon mid-day sleep; however, even in those who get enough sleep (but particularly in those who don?t), many people experience a natural increase in drowsiness in the afternoon, about 8 hours after waking. And research shows that you can make yourself more alert reduce stress and improve cognitive functioning with a nap. Mid-d... More About: Productivity , Stress , Relief
Sleep Deprivation: The Great American Myth
2008-03-04 22:09:00 Part II Night of the living dead Until 15 years ago, sleeping pills were mainly addictive, overdose-risky barbiturates (such as Seconal) and sedatives called benzodiazepines (Valium and Dalmane). For these reasons, they were less popular and less prescribed. That changed in the early 1990s when Ambien, which is less addictive, came on the market. It acts on the same neural receptors as a benzodiazepine, but is safer. It is the only hypnotic drug Kripke recommends and then, only... More About: Great , American , Sleep , Myth
Sleep Deprivation: The Great American Myth
2008-03-03 22:42:00 Many American s are sleep-deprived zombies, and a quarter of us now use some form of sleeping pill or aid at night. Wake up, says psychiatry professor Daniel Kripke of the University of California, San Diego. The pill-taking is real but the refrain that Americans are sleep deprived originates largely from people funded by the drug industry or with financial interests in sleep research clinics.

Sleep deprivation
2008-03-02 21:37:00 Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don?t get enough sleep. Insufficient sleep or disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle (such as those that occur with shift work or travelling to a different time zone) cause the physiological state known as fatigue. A fatigued person is accident prone, judgement impaired and more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions. Staying awake for 24 hours leads to a reduced hand-to-eye coordination that is similar ...

The Effects of Sleep Deprivation
2008-03-02 00:45:00 Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your health in the form of physical and mental impairments. Inadequate rest impairs our ability to think, to handle stress, to maintain a healthy immune system and to moderate our emotions. In fact, sleep is so important to our overall health that total sleep deprivation has been proven to be fatal: lab rats denied the chance to rest die within two to three weeks. Without adequate rest, the brain's ability to function quickly deteriorates... More About: Sleep , Effects
