Ny studie: Tetris minskar flashbacks efter trauma

Bild genererad av AI

Forskare vid Uppsala universitet har visat att ett kort behandlingsprogram med Tetris kan minska påträngande minnen hos vårdpersonal efter trauman.

Ett hundratal personer inom hälso- och sjukvården deltog i studien. De fick ett digitalt program som inkluderade Tetris och mentala rotationsövningar.

Antalet flashbacks minskade från i genomsnitt tio per vecka till mindre än ett. Effekten höll i sig i minst sex månader.

– Det handlar om att konkurrera ut de påträngande bilderna utan att prata om traumat, säger Emily Holmes, professor vid Uppsala universitet.

Studien är publicerad i The Lancet Psychiatry och genomfördes tillsammans med University of Cambridge.

A Phase II randomized trial found that a six-week, home-based walking and resistance program improved attention test performance and reduced reports that others noticed cognitive problems among patients receiving chemotherapy. Low-dose ibuprofen improved some attention measures but showed mixed results on memory outcomes. The study was published in Cancer.

Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria have found that the brain's memory center, the hippocampus, begins life with a dense, seemingly random network of connections rather than a blank slate. This network refines itself through pruning, becoming more organized and efficient over time. The discovery challenges the traditional tabula rasa concept.
