PROLONGED ROTE LEARNING PRODUCES DELAYED MEMORY FACILITATION AND METABOLIC CHANGES IN THE HIPPOCAMPUS OF THE AGEING HUMAN BRAIN

Prolonged rote learning produces delayed memory facilitation and metabolic changes in the hippocampus of the ageing human brain

Abstract Background Repeated rehearsal is one method by which verbal material may be transferred from short- to long-term memory.We hypothesised that extended engagement of memory structures through prolonged rehearsal would result in enhanced efficacy of recall and also of brain structures implicated in new learning.Twenty-four normal participants

Search for T-invariance violation in pd-scattering

Scattering of protons with transversal polarization Pyp on Green Tea deuterons with tensor polarization Pxz provides a null-test signal for time reversal invariance violating but P-parity conserving effects.The dedicated experiment will be done at COSY facility at proton beam energy 135 MeV using internal deuteron target.I give a brief review of re
