AAIC 2024
The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2024 is set to take place from July 28th to August 1st at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. As the premier event for Alzheimer’s and dementia research, AAIC brings together scientists, clinicians, and care professionals from around the world to discuss the latest discoveries and innovations in the field.
You Might Not Know What You’re Saying
SUNY Geneseo’s Jason Ozubko is the first author on a recent paper that looks at a type of memory glitch called a “recognition failure.” It’s when you can come up with a word—like the name of a restaurant you’re struggling to remember—without being sure that the name you just blurted out is the correct name.
MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT COUNTERATTACK
Battling the mild cognitive impairment stage of Alzheimer’s may disease may “nip it in the bud”.
UTEP Researchers Uncover New Brain Mechanisms in Fruit Flies That May Impact Future Learning
A research team from The University of Texas at El Paso has made strides in understanding how memories are formed through the brain mechanisms of fruit flies. Their findings could enhance our understanding of brain disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder and substance addiction.
Previously claimed memory boosting font “Sans Forgetica” does not actually boost memory
A font called Sans Forgetica was designed to enhance people’s memory for information displayed in that font—compared to reading information in an ordinary font, such as Arial.
Could High Blood Pressure at Night Have an Effect on Your Brain?
Most people’s blood pressure goes down during the night, which doctors call “dipping.” But for some people, especially those with high blood pressure, their nighttime pressure stays the same or even goes up, called “reverse dipping.” A new study shows that people with high blood pressure and reverse dipping may be more likely to have small areas in the brain that appear damaged from vascular disease and associated memory problems. The study is published in the April 15, 2020, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
How associative fear memory is formed in the brain
UC Riverside mouse study provides insights into how pathological fear memory in PTSD could be suppressed
UNH Researchers Find Synchronization of Memory Cells Critical For Learning and Forming Memories
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire found that the neurons involved in Pavlovian learning shift their behavior and become more synchronized when a memory is being formed – a finding that helps better understand memory mechanisms and provides clues for the development of future therapies for memory-related diseases like dementia, autism and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Breathing may change your mind about free will
Have you ever gone ahead and eaten that piece of chocolate, despite yourself?
Do you inadvertently make decisions because you are hungry or cold? In other words, does the brain’s processing of internal bodily signals interfere with your ability to act freely?
This line of thinking is at the heart of research that questions our ability to act on thoughts of free will.
Acid reflux drugs may have negative side effects for breast cancer survivors
Acid reflux drugs that are sometimes recommended to ease stomach problems during cancer treatment may have an unintended side effect: impairment of breast cancer survivors’ memory and concentration.
How meditation can help you make fewer mistakes
New research from Michigan State University tested how open monitoring meditation – or, meditation that focuses awareness on feelings, thoughts or sensations as they unfold in one’s mind and body – altered brain activity in a way that suggests increased error recognition.
Is there an app for that? HU professors, students to study how millennials’ smartphone photos affect their lives
Do we truly understand how younger adults incorporate photography into their daily lives? If we did, could this knowledge help lead to the development of better mobile apps that could help the younger generation with life management in ways that meet their needs?

Chair yoga more effective than music therapy in older adults with advanced dementia
Pilot study first to show adults with advanced dementia can participate in non-pharmacological interventions
NIH New Innovator Award Will Advance Brain Science
Mount Sinai neuroscientist shines light on how the brain optimizes capacity to store memories across a lifetime
Research shows music aids memory performance in older adults and patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
For this year’s World Alzheimers Day, Dr. Deason from Texas State University, reflects on how aging and disease affects the human mind, particularly in older adults. Who: Dr. Rebecca Deason, Associate Professor of Psychology at Texas State, investigates how we…
