It acts as a workspace in which information can be held, manipulated, and used to guide behavior. It plays a critical role in cognition, decoupling behavior from the immediate sensory world. One remarkable thing about working memory is its flexibility -- you can hold anything in mind. In their new manuscript, researchers present the first model of working memory that captures this flexibility.]]></description>

This is in addition to the long-established role that unexpectedly good outcomes have in influencing what are called integrated memories.
"Remembering where you parked your car this morning is an example of specific episodic memory, while remembering good places to park in general is an example of an integrated memory."

"It can damage memory, problem-solving skills and the ability to read emotions.
"Even moderate alcohol intake is linked to brain damage and worse mental skills.
"There is little or no evidence that even low levels of alcohol are beneficial for the brain.

"Dr Ksenija Marinkovic, the study’s first author, said:
'Like most body organs, the brain is vulnerable to injury from excessive alcohol consumption.
'Most common deficits include difficulties with memory, reduced reasoning and problem solving abilities, and emotional abnormalities. ...
'Alcoholics have problems in judging the emotional expressions on people’s faces.
'This can result in miscommunication during emotionally charged situations and lead to unnecessary conflicts and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
'The resulting negative repercussions can, in turn, contribute to increased drinking.'"]]></description>

They followed 27,842 men, average age 51, for 20 years to see if their consumption of greens, dark-red and orange veggies and fruits affected their brain power as they grew older. Every four years the researchers had them fill out a questionnaire about how many servings of various foods they ate. They also took "thinking tests" when their average age was 73.

"Turns out men who ate the most vegetables were 34 percent less likely to develop cognition problems than men who consumed the least amount. And guys who drank orange juice daily (choose the one with pulp) were 47 percent less likely to develop poor thinking skills than the men who drank less than one serving per month."

"'We found that drawing enhanced memory in older adults more than other known study techniques,' said Melissa Meade, PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience at Waterloo.

"Mice given this unrestricted diet showed improvements in memory and learning as well as overall brain health. ...
"For the study, mice were fed complex carbs such as those found in cheese and milk.
"The results showed that the diet was beneficial to the hippocampus, a structure in the brain critical for learning and memory.
"Professor Le Couteur said:
“The hippocampus is usually the first part of the brain to deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["As we grow older we suffer a decline in mental and physical fitness, which can be made worse by conditions like Alzheimer's disease. A new study, published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, shows that older people who routinely partake in physical exercise can reverse the signs of aging in the brain, and dancing has the most profound effect.


"'Exercise has the beneficial effect of slowing down or even counteracting age-related decline in mental and physical capacity,' says Dr Kathrin Rehfeld, lead author of the study, based at the German center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, Magdeburg, Germany. 'In this study, we show that two different types of physical exercise (dancing and endurance training) both increase the area of the brain that declines with age. In comparison, it was only dancing that lead to noticeable behavioral changes in terms of improved balance.'

"Elderly volunteers, with an average age of 68, were recruited to the study and assigned either an eighteen-month weekly course of learning dance routines, or endurance and flexibility training. Both groups showed an increase in the hippocampus region of the brain. This is important because this area can be prone to age-related decline and is affected by diseases like Alzheimer's. It also plays a key role in memory and learning, as well as keeping one's balance. ...

"Dr Rehfeld explains, 'We tried to provide our seniors in the dance group with constantly changing dance routines of different genres (Jazz, Square, Latin-American and Line Dance). Steps, arm-patterns, formations, speed and rhythms were changed every second week to keep them in a constant learning process. The most challenging aspect for them was to recall the routines under the pressure of time and without any cues from the instructor.'

"These extra challenges are thought to account for the noticeable difference in balance displayed by those participants in dancing group. Dr Rehfeld and her colleagues are building on this research to trial new fitness programs that have the potential of maximizing anti-aging effects on the brain."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Research published today in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience shows that challenging situations make it harder to understand where you are and what's happening around you. A team of researchers showed participants video clips of a positive, a negative and a neutral situation. After watching the challenging clips -- whether positive or negative -- the participants performed worse on tests measuring their unconscious ability to acquire information about where and when things happen. This suggests that challenging situations cause the brain to drop nuanced, context-based cognition in favor of reflexive action.

"Previous research suggests that long-term memories formed under stress lack the context and peripheral details encoded by the hippocampus, making false alarms and reflexive reactions more likely. These context details are necessary for situating yourself in space and time, so struggling to acquire them has implications for decision-making in the moment as well as in memory formation."]]></description>

As late as 1998, a duo of scientists Peter Eriksson from Sweden and Fred Gage from the USA presented their discovery that human beings are capable of growing new brain cells throughout their whole lives.

"The birth of neurons from stem cells is called neurogenesis and in babies, most of the job is done before they leave their mommy’s belly. After birth, this process is restricted to two areas:
For a long time, it was believed that brains of grown-ups couldn’t regenerate and replace dead or damaged cells. As late as 1998, a duo of scientists Peter Eriksson from Sweden and Fred Gage from the USA presented their discovery that human beings are capable of growing new brain cells throughout their whole lives.

The birth of neurons from stem cells is called neurogenesis and in babies, most of the job is done before they leave their mommy’s belly. After birth, this process is restricted to two areas:
Olfactory Bulb — a structure of the forebrain responsible for the sense of smell

Hippocampus — a seahorse-shaped structure that is located within the temporal lobe of the brain (just above your ears) and is important for learning, formation of memory, regulation of emotions, and spatial navigation.

"Research and some studies that have been conducted since prove that we can indeed play an active role in promoting production of new brain cells, and as a result improve our mood, memory, and learning skills. According to the latest findings, you can boost neurogenesis if you pay attention to these:

"AEROBIC EXERCISE ...
According to the study in rats published last year (2016) in the Journal of Physiology, physical exercise enhances neurogenesis if it’s aerobic and sustained. On the other hand, anaerobic resistance training doesn’t result in higher production of neurons in the hippocampus, even though it may have a positive effect on physical fitness. High-intensity interval training (HIT) showed only a very little increase in the number of new neurons, compared to the sedentary lifestyle, possibly due to the related stress that tends to reduce neurogenesis.

"CALORIC RESTRICTION

"LOW-FAT DIET ...
Laboratory tests point to the fact that excessive consumption of meals that contain high amounts of saturated fat (animal fat products, coconut oil, palm oil) significantly decreases the number of newly generated cells in the hippocampus.

"In contrast stands the type of fat found in salmon, tuna, walnuts, or flax seeds — omega-3 fatty acids — that have been shown to promote the production of new neurons. These nutrients are important for our whole body in a variety of ways, but they play a truly critical role in development and functioning of our brain. Some studies even indicate that the beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids on neurogenesis in the hippocampus could help treat and prevent age-related memory weakening, depression, or neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. ...

"According to some studies, neurogenesis can be also reinforced by certain dietary substances, such as flavonoids, found in blueberries and cocoa, resveratrol, found in red wine, or curcumin, found in the turmeric spice. So a glass of cabernet, a bite of dark chocolate, or a bowl of yellow curry can be a nice treat for your brain.

"On the contrary, it appears that chronic sleep deprivation and stress (including early-life and pregnancy trauma) inhibit the production of new brain cells in adults, which in turn causes deterioration of our cognitive functions and overall mental health."

"People who ate more seafood had reduced rates of decline in the semantic memory, which is memory of verbal information. They also had slower rates of decline in a test of perceptual speed, or the ability to quickly compare letters, objects and patterns.

"The study did not find a significant difference in the rate of decline in episodic memory (recollection of personal experiences), working memory (short-term memory used in mental function in the immediate present) and visuospatial ability (comprehension of relationships between objects). ...

"Published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, the researchers have assembled strong evidence that the neurological decline common to these diseases is caused by 'auto-inflammation', where the body's own immune system develops a persistent inflammatory response and causes brain cells to die. ...

"There are many distinct forms of neurodegeneration including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's Diseases. These conditions are distinguished by the different types of brain nerve cells that are first affected and by the symptoms that first appear. However, as all of these diseases progress, they become more similar.

Professor Richards believes that instead of many different mechanisms, each disease has the same underlying mechanism, and common pathway of nerve cell loss.

"'Our interest in the body's own (innate) immune system as the culprit began when we discovered that immune system agents become activated in a laboratory model of Huntington's Disease,' he says. 'Remarkably, researchers from other laboratories were at the same time reporting similar features in other neurodegenerative diseases.

"While it’s true that alcohol is generally bad for conscious memory, it can boost unconscious memory.

"This may help explain why alcohol — and other drugs — can be so habit-forming." ...

"Dr Morikawa and colleagues reached this conclusion by exposing mice to alcohol and examining synaptic plasticity in key areas of the brain.

"They found that with repeated exposure, the plasticity increased — indicating learning."

"The research, published in the journal Neurology, asked 256 seniors to report how often they took part in various everyday activities (Peterson et al., 2015).

"None of the people, whose average age was 87, had memory and thinking problems at the start of the study.

"The artistic activities included:
drawing,
sculpting,
and painting.

"Crafts included:
pottery,
quilling,
woodworking,
ceramics,
quilting,
and sewing.

"Socialising included:
socialising with friends,
trips to the movies, theatre or concerts,
book clubs,
Bible study

Professor Martha Clare Morris ... led the research ... The study followed 954 older adults with an average age of 81 over around five years.

"They found that people who ate just two servings per day of leafy vegetables had better cognitive powers than those who ate none. 

"The difference was equivalent to having a brain fully 11 years younger.

"The nutrients most likely responsible for the boost, the researchers found, were vitamin K, folate, beta-carotene and lutein."

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig ... [found that] it is easier to learn vocabulary if the brain can link a given word with different sensory perceptions. The motor system in the brain appears to be especially important: When someone not only hears vocabulary in a foreign language, but expresses it using gestures, they will be more likely to remember it. Also helpful, although to a slightly lesser extent, is learning with images that correspond to the word. Learning methods that involve several senses, and in particular those that use gestures, are therefore superior to those based only on listening or reading."
