How emotionally charged events leave their mark on memory
10-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have uncovered new evidence in mice that may explain how emotionally charged situations can leave such a powerful mark on our memories. Surges of the stress hormone norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) that often accompany strong emotions spark a series of molecular events that ultimately strengthen the connections between neurons, the team reports in the Oct. 5, 2007, issue of the journal Cell, a publication of Cell Press.

She is a nurse and researcher at Lund University in Sweden. She has studied patients' memories, experiences, and psychological problems after their care period.

Scientists use gene therapy to improve memory and learning in animals
11-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
Stanford University neuroscientists have designed a gene that enhances memory and learning ability in animals under stress. Writing in the November 8 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, the Stanford team says that the experimental technique might one day lead to new forms of gene therapy that can reduce the severe neurological side effects of steroids, which are prescribed to millions of patients with arthritis, asthma and other illnesses.

Experience sculpts brain circuitry to build resiliency to stress
12-21-2006 · EurekAlert!
It's long been known that experiencing control over a stressor immunizes a rat from developing a depression-like syndrome when it later encounters stressors that it can't control. Now, scientists have unraveled the workings of the brain circuitry that inoculates against such hard knocks -- the circuitry of resilience. Control not only activated the brain's executive hub, the prefrontal cortex, but also altered it so that it later activated even when the stressor was not controllable.
