Information on Memory Loss Research

A brain has a let and right cortex. They each deal with particular properties of memory. The left cortex analyzes verbal terms, recalls language, and takes care of listed information. The right cortex analyzes non-verbal data, voice memories, and familiar memories.

But can all types of memory lapses in our fast life be classified as significant memory loss? No, say researchers. But you definitely need to look for telltale signs that may indicate what kind of loss you are experiencing:

Pay close attention to the kind of information that is eluding you. If it is something related to your daily course of life, like your marriage anniversary, or where you kept your watch, then it is high time you saw a doctor.

Do you keep forgetting answers to questions that have already been answered? Let me be more specific. Are your friends and relatives lately commenting on your repetitive forgetfulness? Chances are high that you are experiencing short-term memory loss.

If your brush comes out from below your study table instead of the bathroom rack and your spouse is frustrated with discovering your belongings at the most unlikely of places, it is time to see the doctor.

Paying close attention to these telling signs goes a long way in early detection and timely recovery. The sooner they are detected and psychiatrist consulted, the better.

One of the most efficient remedies as suggested by recent memory loss research is olfactory stimulation through one or both nostrils (smelling peppermints or cloves). This activates the hippocampus and more generally the temporal lobe. One-sided Visual stimulation or auditory stimulation may also be very advantageous. While familiar faces stimulate the left amygdala of the temporal lobe, unfamiliar faces activate the right amygdala. Other curative methods can be word searches, solving mazes, looking at big letters made out of small ones, etc.
