A review of the verbal and visual memory impairments in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) have significant impairments in memory, negatively affecting academics and daily functioning. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To review published research on: (1) verbal and visual-spatial memory ... Read more...

Selective suppression of hippocampal ripples impairs spatial memory.

11 Sep 2009 Sharp wave-ripple (SPW-R) complexes in the hippocampus-entorhinal cortex are believed to be important for transferring labile memories from the hippocampus to the neocortex for long-term storage. We found that selective elimination of SPW-Rs during ... Read more...

Impaired category fluency in medial temporal lobe amnesia: the role of episodic memory.

31 Aug 2009 Memory tasks are often classified as semantic or episodic, but recent research shows that these types of memory are highly interactive. Category fluency, for example, is generally considered to reflect retrieval from semantic memory, but behavioral ... Read more...
