bbc horizon: how does your memory work?

"you might think that your memory is there to help you remember facts, such as birthdays or shopping lists. if so, you would be very wrong. the ability to travel back in time in your mind is, perhaps, your most remarkable ability, and develops over your lifespan. the startling truth that everyone is little more than their own memory."

Video:Marijuana Tied to Memory Problems

marijuana tied to memory problems

people who regularly smoke marijuana may find their memories growing hazy over time, a study published monday suggests.

in a study of long-term and shorter-term marijuana users, researchers in greece found that both groups performed more poorly on tests of memory, attention and other cognitive abilities than a comparison group who'd only occasionally used the drug.

long-term users - who'd smoked four or more joints per week for at least 10 years - showed the greatest deficits.

the findings, published in the journal neurology, add to the conflicting body of research on the effects of marijuana on the brain. while many studies have suggested that long-time pot smoking dulls memory, attention span and mental acuity, some have found no large differences in these skills between marijuana users and non-users.

one recent analysis of 15 studies found only minor effects on memory among long-time pot users, and no clear effect on attention, language, reasoning and a number of other cognitive functions.

one problem is that it's difficult for studies such as the current one to establish a definite cause-and-effect relationship between marijuana and intellectual deficits, dr. lambros messinis, the study's lead author, told reuters health.

though the researchers accounted for a number of variables -- like education, use of other drugs and the presence of clinical depression -- it's tough to control for all the factors that could make heavy marijuana users different from other people, according to messinis.

still, he and his colleagues say, their findings are in line with certain past studies linking heavy, long-term pot smoking to "subtle" deficits in intellectual abilities.

the study included 40 marijuana users ages 17 to 49 who were in a drug abuse treatment program; all had used the drug frequently for at least five years, but half -- those considered long-term users -- had smoked for 10 years or more. they were compared with 24 adults the same age who had used pot no more than 20 times in their lives.

overall, both long- and shorter-term marijuana users performed more poorly on tests of memory, attention and mental-processing speed. the proportion of study participants deemed "impaired," according to the researchers, was highest in the long-term group and lowest in the comparison group.

long-time pot users showed the greatest problems on tests where they were asked to learn and remember a series of words. they were "significantly" below the published norms for these tests, according to messinis and his colleagues.

it's not yet clear whether the intellectual deficits linked to marijuana are lasting, messinis said, but research "generally supports" the notion that these problems are reversible after longer periods of abstinence. people in his study were required to have been abstinent only for the 24 hours before taking the tests.

another unknown, according to messinis, is whether marijuana use at a young age may affect the brain differently than use during adulthood. knowledge in this area, he said, is still "poor."

i think science is lying again!

"to the kitchen" he replies. "will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" "sure." "don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks. "no, i can remember it." "well, i'd like some strawberries on top, too. you'd better write it down because you know you'll forget it." he says, "i can remember that! you want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries." "i'd also like whipped cream. i'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down!" she retorts. irritated, he says, "i don't need to write it down, i can remember it! leave me alone! ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - i got it, for goodness sake!" then he grumbles into the kitchen. after about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. she stares at the plate for a moment and says - "where's my toast?"

Video:Scientists Find Memory Molecule

scientists find memory molecule

scientists at suny downstate medical center have discovered a molecular mechanism that maintains memories in the brain. in an article in science magazine, they demonstrate that by inhibiting the molecule they can erase long-term memories, much as you might erase a computer disc.

furthermore, erasing the memory from the brain does not prevent the ability to re-learn the memory, much as a cleaned computer disc may be re-used. this finding may some day have applications in treating chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and memory loss, among other conditions.
