Short-Term Stress Reduce Memory

Short-term stress that lasted just a few hours can damage brain cell communication in some areas associated with learning and memory abilities. So that was said by researchers from the University of California.

Severe stress lasting weeks or months can impair cell communication in the area of learning and memory in the brain, but the study provides the first evidence that short-term stress has the same effect. The study published in the Journal of Neurosicence.

Stress continues to happen in our lives and can not be circumvented. Therefore, the team of researchers argue that their findings play an important role in drug development and offer an understanding of why some people forget or have difficulty retaining information during stressful situations. They found that instead of involving the hormone that is widely known as a cause of stress, cortisol, which flows throughout the body, acute stress would activate specific 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 interaction of molecules with molecular receptor CRH eliminate stress damage to areas involved with learning and memory. The research team revealed that there is a collection formed which showed the ability to block CRH receptors, and the research could play a role in the establishment of therapy based on the collection of it to deal with power loss memory and learning ability related to stress.
