A new study reveals that people who engage in media multitasking or simultaneously watching TV while surfing the web is prone to suffer lapses in attention and poor memory.
A team from Hokkaido University discover how hydrogels can remember and forget in a similar way that humans retain memory. Similar to humans, intensity, learning time, and environment impact the 'memory' of hydrogels.
Several studies have focused on the effects of television and device screen time on children more than adults. In two studies from the UK, scientists have determined that more than two hours of screen time and couch potato tendencies result in severe health risk and deteriorating memory.
Your pet dog could be smarter than you think. According to a new study, dogs can remember recent events or commands just as well as very young children. They can also remember things done an hour ago and repeat the action correctly when asked to do so.
Breakthrough research on brain cells paves the way to understanding the aging process and its implications on diseases regarding memory and other cognitive disorders. In the experiment on mice, scientists used color coding to determine brain synapses during the different stages of life.
The measure of how fast a person’s pupils dilate during a cognitive test may be a low cost method to check for a genetic risk of developing the Alzheimer’s Disease.
Researchers discovered that replication of individual Ly49H-NKs was extremely varied, which correlated with distinct surface expression levels of Ly49H itself
Researchers at Columbia and McGill have discovered different types of memories storied in the same neuron in snails can be selectively erased. The implications for human memory are huge.
