A single night of sleep loss impairs working memory in women, but not men. In contrast to males who were unaffected, females not only had impaired working memory, but they were also unaware of it. Sleep-deprived young women are at particular risk for overestimating their working memory performance.

New evidence of ‘muscle memory’ at a DNA level - A study has shown for the first time that human muscles possess a ‘memory’ of earlier growth - at the DNA level. Periods of skeletal muscle growth are ‘remembered’ by the genes in the muscle, helping them to grow larger later in life.

We've misunderstood the Backfire Effect - New research shows people accept fact-correction, but keep their opinions. This happens because facts are used to justify prior opinions, not as a basis for them; when one fact gets corrected, another, favorable to the prior opinon, takes its place.

A study, based in Massachusetts, found that just three months of treatment with medical cannabis resulted in improved task performance and favorable brain activation that the researchers retrieved through MRI scans. Cannabis users also cut their opioid and benzodiazepine use after the treatment.
