Chilled water to retrieve lost memories
Print - (image reference)
(BBC NEWS) - Now a group of scientists in Argentina found that such shocks can also be used to remember things thought to be forgotten.
Researchers at the Institute of Physiology, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (IFIBYNE) at the University of Buenos Aires published their findings recently in the prestigious scientific journal Neuroscience .
experts from the Laboratory of Neurobiology Memory had already made this discovery in animals but now confirmed his theory in humans.
Biologists, Veronica Coccoz, Héctor Maldonado and Alejandro Delorenzi, worked with 125 volunteers and used to generate intense cold shock one similar to that produced with a strong emotional shock.
Delorenzi explained to BBC World in the field of neurobiology is common to use the cold to generate this kind of mild but acute stress, which causes the body to release glucose and a number of hormones that are central to the modulation of memory.
"It was already known that these substances act in areas of the central nervous system where memories are consolidated and become strong memories that will last a long time, "he said.
The news was confirmed that these same substances can also help recover forgotten memories.

- Print - (Alejandro and Veronica Delorenzi Coccoz, along with Hector Maldonado, worked with 125 volunteers)
The experiment to test this hypothesis, the team Researchers showed volunteers a series of stimuli: a combination of light, music and images. And then, they were asked to learn a list of syllables.
Six days later, neurobiologists to expose the group returned to the same stimuli of light and music, but interrupted the experience before displaying images.
also asked subjects to submerge the arm in a container of water. One group did it in warm water, the other half in cold water.
then asked the volunteers if they remembered the syllables learned six days ago. None remembered it correctly.
next day reconvened the whole group and they again showed the stimulus of light, music and images. Then he asked again if they could remember the syllables learned a week earlier.
Only a minority (20%) of those who had dipped his arm in warm water correctly recalled list. But the vast majority (80%) who had touched the cold water-receiving stress shock, "recalled the sequence of syllables, he had thought forgotten.
A breakthrough Dr. Delorenzi
told BBC News that, besides being subjected to a shock , it is necessary subjects received a "reminder" associated to recall what they thought forgotten.
That's what we used the stimuli of light, music and images. The key, said neurobiologist, is that when you want to recover the lost memory be made a modification of the reminder.
" We believe this will contribute much to the persistence of memory, to remember "
Alejandro Delorenzi, neurobiologist
In this case, first showed a sequence of light, music and pictures, and in the second instance, interrupted the sequence, so that the reminder was different.
is this novelty that makes the memory becomes "labile" (a definition used by experts to describe the reactivation of the memory).
"What is striking is that the subjects claimed to have no more the memory of the learned syllables, but in fact this memory had been reactivated, because the next day managed to remember," said Delorenzi.
For the specialist, this finding could help unravel some mysteries that have regard to the defects of memory, since it would investigate whether the problem is in the "Stored" in memory, or simply the subject's ability to "express" that memory-that is, to be aware of having it.
"We believe this will contribute much to the persistence of memory, to remember," said the expert, stating, however, that will be left to others to find practical applications for the discovery.
The next step for these scientists is to conduct the same experiments but extensions of time trying largas.JHONSON & CONSULTANTS
New controversy over a drug causing numerous deaths in France

(Xinhuanet) - French drugmaker Servier, which marketed an anti-diabetes drug off the market in 2009 after it was shown serious side effects, he knew "at least since the early nineties" the toxicity of the drug, according to a report by Le Monde. "
The Mediator, which was sold in France since 1976 for patients who also had overweight and fat in the blood, is, according to Social Security, the origin of at least 500 deaths, a figure that other studies cited by the press gala raised to 2,000.
The internal report makes reference to the newspaper Gallo presents the results of a 1993 study conducted by its UK subsidiary with six volunteers.
The studies found that among the three major metabolites appearing in the body in relation to the drug benfluorex (scientific name of the Mediator) contained the norfenfluramine, a highly toxic amphetamine.
That was the same appeared to be making two other products of Servier (Ponder and Isomeride) that were recalled in 1995 because of side effects, by causing pulmonary hypertension, heart failure source.

"Le Monde" reported on Thursday that Serbia "must have known that since the nineties, the Mediator was dangerous because it turned into norfenfluramine" and therefore could be possible that would cause the same side effects that these other drugs withdrawn. Sources
