“After a single night of sleep deprivation, the participants' memory performance was markedly worse. Similarly, the fMRIs revealed that the participants' hippocampal connectivity was impaired in several regions of the brain associated with memory formation.”

“The study involved 29 male soccer players divided into two groups: young adults aged 19 to 30, and older adults aged 46 to 71. Researchers measured verbal and non-verbal memory performance, along with blood levels of BDNF and its receptor, TrkB, before and after a single 60-minute session of aerobic exercise.”

“The COSMOS cognition data remain the clearest positive clinical signal: pooled analyses found small average benefits for global cognition and episodic memory. The main clinical-endpoint trial, however, did not significantly reduce total cancer, cardiovascular disease, or all-cause mortality.”

“A memory has been transferred from one marine snail to another by injecting RNA from one to another. The RNA is thought to induce epigenetic changes in the nucleus of neurons, thereby storing the memory. This research may have implications for restoring memories in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.”

“The study involved 90 men and women living in the United Kingdom (UK) who were heavy drinkers – consuming roughly five times the recommended amount of alcohol each week per UK standards – but did not have an alcohol abuse disorder.”

“Finally, the researchers measured gene expression in the hippocampus, one the major memory centers of the brain. Adult sugar-fed rats exhibited impaired performance on memory tasks associated with the hippocampus, but not other memory centers.”

“Using imaging techniques to see how neurons behave during memory tasks involving touch and sound, researchers tracked brain activity in mice of varying ages. They also used light-based interventions to temporarily disrupt brain activity, observing how this affected the animals' ability to perform the tasks.”

“FTA: > Trans fat consumption is adversely linked to memory sharpness in young to middle-aged men. Men under 45 years old who ate higher amounts of trans fats, which are found in processed foods, had significantly reduced ability to recall words. Further studies need to determine whether these effects extend to women under 45 years old.”

“Serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D levels increased significantly more in the high dose group (from 27 ng/ml to 52 ng/ml) than the low dose group (24 ng/ml to 34 ng/ml). What is interesting is that even though 34 ng/ml is considered sufficient, it still was not enough to improve visual memory.”

“The study involved 18 healthy young adults who learned verb–image pairs (verbs linked to either objects or scenes) across two sessions. During later memory tests, participants first judged whether a verb was old or new, then, for recognized verbs, tried to recall the associated image.”
