Men and boys with autism have fewer neurons in a part of the brain involved in memory and emotion, according to a new study by scientists at the University of California in San Diego and the MIND Institute at UC Davis.
Oligomers, which are considered more toxic to brain tissue than amyloid-beta proteins, were applied to the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, in young mice.
From this residue, something presumably small and compact, the brain reconstructs or recreates the memory.

He proposed that 42 was the pathological form of amyloid and that excess amounts of it would accelerate the buildup of toxic clusters in the brain's memory centers.
He proposed that 42 was the pathological form of amyloid and that excess amounts of it would accelerate the buildup of unnatural, toxic clusters in the brain's memory centers.
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.
In a recent shopping study conducted by the Open University in Milton Keynes, U.K. and the London Business School, scientists found that when shoppers are asked to make a choice among common and closely related items in a grocery-store-like setting, the areas of the brain involved in memory light up like a July 4th nighttime sky.

While self-help books on the brain tend to focus on improving memory or mood, "The Emotional Life of Your Brain, " written with science journalist Sharon Begley, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, makes the case that we can reprogram our brains to help shed negativity and lead a better and more productive life.
Take, for example, the recent discovery that each hemisphere of the brain has its own memory storage.
FORBES: What's the Likelihood of the Singularity? Part Two: Uploading the Brain
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.
Tully's firm is searching for a drug that would accomplish this by lowering the levels of memory-forming proteins in the brain centers involved in recalling emotional events.
Researchers at Stanford University and MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory had activated light-sensitive neurons in the brain's hippocampus involved in the memory of fright.

Generally speaking, the best practice techniques are those that lay down multiple, vivid memory patterns in the brain.

The ThingWorx platform allows things to be modeled as ThingShapes, the brain, and to capture a ThingShadow, the memory.
To transfer information from short-term to long-term memory, the brain requires periods of rest.
Samples taken from regions of the brain important in learning and memory were tested.
With time, neuroscience research uncovered two parts of the brain that evidence neurogenesis: the hippocampus, associated with memory formation, and the olfactory bulb, associated with the sense of smell.

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.
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.
These are the parts of the brain most closely associated with working memory.
This is because the memory network in your brain that is responsible for remembering is disrupted by the interrupting task and has to be reactivated.
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.
As the disease progresses, the liver has a hard time filtering out toxins, which can go to the brain and cause problems such as memory lapses, trouble sleeping at night and lack of coordination.
The imaging agent can't be used to diagnose someone with Alzheimer's disease if the individual doesn't experience memory impairment because the presence of amyloid in the brain doesn't alone suggest that someone has Alzheimer's.
