(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that pictures allow patients with very mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) to better recognize and identify a subject as compared to using just words. In addition, the researchers found that these patients can rely on a general sense of knowing or familiarity but not recollection to support successful recognition. These findings appear in the current issue of the journal Neuropsychologia. http://www.physorg.com/news160307482.html Medicine & Health Thu, 30 Apr 2009 10:51:58 EST news160307482 (PhysOrg.com) -- Changes in a person's eyes can show that they've seen something before, even when they're pretending they haven't, research by University of Sussex doctoral student Becky Heaver reveals. http://www.physorg.com/news157821563.html Medicine & Health Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:19:55 EST news157821563 (PhysOrg.com) -- Animals can re-establish their use of smell to detect siblings, even following an interruption such as prolonged hibernation, research at the University of Chicago on ground squirrels shows. http://www.physorg.com/news153759836.html Biology Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:05:10 EST news153759836 You know the feeling.
