It may be that loneliness may affect systems in the brain dealing with cognition and memory, making lonely people more vulnerable to effects of age-related decline in neural pathways, he suggested.
Later studies with magnetic resonance imaging machines showed that the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for memory and emotional reactions, didn't fire even when older people were shown disturbing images.
Those groups argue that the treatment and the potential side effects -- such as memory loss and brain damage -- are serious enough to merit a thorough review.
The stress hormone cortisol shrinks the brain's memory centers and can hamper one's ability to learn and recall.
Moreover, the particular protein that the flies lack is most concentrated in brain areas involved in learning and memory.
Neurophysiologists have recently discovered that Nitric Oxide (NO) plays a vital role in many brain functions, including learning and memory.
The electroencephalograph picks up cognitive functions in 12 different regions of the brain, showing memory recall and the level of attention paid to visual and aural stimuli.
In patients with dementia, the symptoms of brain cells dying, bad sleep and memory loss are far far worse than in normal ageing.
But scientific studies have taken things one step further and shown that as cab drivers hone their skills, their hippocampus -- the part of the brain that deals with spatial memory and navigation -- gradually gets bigger.
"In the not-too-distant future, firms will be able to tell precisely if an advertising campaign or product redesign triggers the brain activity and neurochemical release associated with memory and action, " predicts James Bailey, professor of organizational behavior at George Washington University.
Research suggests some connection between low numbers of synapses in a person's brain and Alzheimer's symptoms such as memory impairment and language deterioration.

Imaging studies on depressed humans show shrinkage in their hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning, memory and emotion that is also a region where much neurogenesis occurs.
The limbic sytem is a portion of the brain that controls things like emotion, behavior and memory.
The ThingWorx platform allows things to be modeled as ThingShapes, the brain, and to capture a ThingShadow, the memory.
The combination of strategy and memory in bridge challenges the brain to learn new information and exercises cells so they don't die, Postal says.
The jet-lagged hamsters showed a drastic drop in neuron production in the hippocampus area of the brain, which closely contributes to memory processing and learning.
These grid cells create a direct, intuitively simple map of everywhere you go, basically, sending the data to your hippocampus, the seat of memory and emotion in your brain.
Recent animal studies have shown that stimulating the entorhinal cortex improved the growth of brain cells in adult mice and appeared to enhance memory for locations and spatial knowledge.
The aim is to systematically explore the roots of vision and decision-making by analyzing the billions of cells and synapses in the brain's cerebral cortex, which plays a critical role in vision, memory and awareness.
From this residue, something presumably small and compact, the brain reconstructs or recreates the memory.
