| Stress Reduce Short Term Memory |
Short-term stress that lasted just a few hours can damage brain cell communication in some areas associated with learning ability and memory. Similarly is said by researchers from the University of California.
Severe stress that lasts for several weeks or months can damage cell communication in the area of memory and learning ability in the brain, but research tersebit provide the first evidence that short-term stress has the same impact. The study published in the Journal of Neurosicence.
Stress continues to happen in our lives and can not be circumvented. Therefore, the research team believes that their findings have an important role in drug development and offers an understanding of why some people forget or have difficulty to retain information during stressful situations. They found that rather than involving the widely known as the hormone that causes stress, cortisol, which flows throughout the body, acute stress actually activate certain molecules called corticotropin releasing hormones (CRH) --that interfere with the process of how the brain collects and stores memories.
The researchers found that blocking the molecular interactions with the CRH receptor molecule eliminate stress damage to areas involved with learning and memory. The research team revealed that there was a collection formed which showed the ability to block CRH receptors, and research can play a role in the formation of a collection of therapies based on it to handle the loss of memory and learning ability related to stress.
