BRAIN PROTEINS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S When a particular fat molecule in the brain doesn't break down properly, cognition gets harder, and there's an increase in amyloid precursor proteins (which are part of the Alzheimer's cascade).; Tau proteins are also involved in the Alzheimer's cascade. A new study shows that individuals vary markedly in how quickly they spread in thebrain.
METABOLIC SYNDROME LINKED TO MEMORY LOSS IN OLDER PEOPLE The new label of ‘metabolic syndrome’ applies to those having three or more of the following risk factors: high blood pressure, excess belly fat, higher than normal triglycerides, high blood sugar and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good"cholesterol).
ALZHEIMER'S TREATMENT An 18-month, double-blind placebo study into a new surgical treatment for Alzheimer’s disease using a device called the COGNIShunt, is being undertaken by neurologists at Emory University. The shunt is designed to drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the skull and into the abdominal cavity.

But this is not to say there are no benefits.

WORKING MEMORY AND INTELLIGENCE Intelligence tends nowadays to be separated into 2 components: fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Fluid intelligence refers to general reasoning and problem-solving functions, and is often described as executive function, or working memory capacity.; Crystallized intelligence refers to cognitive functions associatedwith knowledge.
DEMENTIA: A GENERAL INTRODUCTION Dementia is estimated 1 to afflict over 35.5 million people worldwide -- this includes nearly 10 million people in Europe, nearly 4.4 million in North America, nearly 7 million in South and Southeast Asia, about 5.5 million in China and East Asia and about 3 million in Latin America. The estimated prevalence for over 60s is 4.7%worldwide.

It is an effective strategy for learning a list of words. The research confirms that memory even in very young children can be helped by teaching them to use this verbal mnemonic strategy. WORD-FINDING PROBLEMS The effect was considerable. For example, on test measures of grammatical reasoning speed and short-term memory accuracy, performing word puzzles was associated with brain function equivalent to ten years younger than participants’ chronological age. The next question is whether you can improve brain function by engaging inpuzzles.

AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY Autobiographical memory contains information about yourself, and about personal experiences. Emotions, the "facts" that describe you and make you unique, the facts of your life, and the experiences you have had, are all contained in separate domains, and processed differently. Your memory for emotions can help you modify your moods. DYSLEXIA | ABOUT MEMORY A twin study involving 457 pairs has found that ADHD on its own was associated with a reduced ability to inhibit responses to stimuli, while reading disabilities were associated independently with weaknesses on measures of phoneme awareness, verbal reasoning, and working memory.Both disorders were associated with a slow processing speed, and there was a significant genetic correlation between RIGHT-BRAIN/LEFT-BRAIN The whole idea of right brain vs left brain did come out of scientific research, but as is so often the case, the myth that developed is light years away from the considerably duller scientific truths that spawned it. It is true that, for most of us, language is processed predominantly in the left hemisphere. WHY OLDER ADULTS LOSE WORKING MEMORY CAPACITY Why older adults lose working memory capacity. The root of age-related cognitive decline may lie in a reduced ability to ignore distractors.
