Neuroscientists have identified genes that memory neurons use to rewire connections after new experiences. The findings shed light on the biology of long-term memory, with implications for future approaches to intervene when memory deficits occur with age or disease.5
Asking patients to recall unpleasant memories shortly before being knocked out created more difficulty in recalling those memories the next day.
A pair of papers published in Cell on January 11 suggest that the protein encoded by one such gene uses its virus-like structure to shuttle information between cells: a new form of cellular communication that may be key to long-term memory formation and other neurological functions.
Researchers have discovered it is possible to use soundwaves and viruses to ‘switch off’ memory formation in the brain.
Intel has acknowledged the massive, chip-level security flaw recently discovered in virtually all modern Intel processors; the vulnerability will require urgent fixes within Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Earlier Read More…
