Neuroimaging study describes Alzheimer's disease-like changes in elderly people without the disease
The emergence of multiple new brain imaging technologies and the combined application of these new approaches is helping to create new insights into aging and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2010-03-16)
Exploring status quo bias in the human brain
The more difficult the decision we face, the more likely we are not to act, according to new research by UCL scientists that examines the neural pathways involved in 'status quo bias' in the human brain. view more (2010-03-16)
Mother's flu during pregnancy may increase baby's risk of schizophrenia
Rhesus monkey babies born to mothers who had the flu while pregnant had smaller brains and showed other brain changes similar to those observed in human patients with schizophrenia, a study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found. view more (2010-03-12)
U discovery gives insight into brain 'replay' process
The hippocampus, a part of the brain essential for memory, has long been known to "replay" recently experienced events. view more (2010-03-12)
Brain scans could be marketing tool of the future
Using advanced tools to see the human brain at work, a new generation of marketing experts may be able to test a product's appeal while it is still being designed, according to a new analysis by two researchers at Duke University and Emory University. view more (2010-03-05)
Transcendental Meditation activates default mode network, the brain's natural ground state
A new EEG study conducted on college students at American University found they could more highly activate the default mode network, a suggested natural "ground state" of the brain, during their practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique. view more (2010-03-05)
The nanoscience/neuroscience intersection: A dialogue
Is it possible to build supercomputers that can replicate the human brain, or to develop nanotechnology that can lead to an implantable chip for interfacing with neurons and other types of cellular networks? view more (2010-03-05)
Learning helps keep brain healthy, UCI researchers find
UC Irvine neurobiologists are providing the first visual evidence that learning promotes brain health - and, therefore, that mental stimulation could limit the debilitating effects of aging on memory and the mind. view more (2010-03-03)
Neuroscientist steers research into neurological disorders
Scientists at the Queensland Brain Institute have uncovered a vital clue into how the brain is wired, which could eventually steer research into nervous system disorders such as Parkinson's disease and cognitive disorders including autism. view more (2010-03-02)
Critical brain chemical shown to play role in severe depression
The next advance in treating major depression may relate to a group of brain chemicals that are involved in virtually all our brain activity, according to a study published today in Biological Psychiatry. view more (2010-03-02)
UMass Lowell researchers' findings suggest new ways to diagnose and treat Alzheimer's
A team of researchers at UMass Lowell has found a new mechanism by which a key protein associated with Alzheimer's disease can spread within the human brain. view more (2010-03-02)
Increasing neurogenesis might prevent drug addiction and relapse
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center hope they have begun paving a new pathway in the fight against drug dependence. Their hypothesis - that increasing the normally occurring process of making nerve cells might prevent addiction - is based on a rodent study demonstrating that blocking new growth of specific brain nerve cells increases... view more...

Thicker brains fend off pain
People can reduce their sensitivity to pain by thickening their brain, according to a new study published in a special issue of the American Psychological Association journal, Emotion. view more (2010-02-25)
Gene mutation is linked to autism-like symptoms in mice, UT Southwestern researchers find
When a gene implicated in human autism is disabled in mice, the rodents show learning problems and obsessive, repetitive behaviors, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2010-02-24)
Protecting the brain from a deadly genetic disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a cruel, hereditary condition that leads to severe physical and mental deterioration, psychiatric problems and eventually, death. view more (2010-02-24)
Damaged protein identified as early diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer's disease in healthy adults
Researchers at NYU School of Medicine have found that elevated cerebrospinal fluid levels of phosphorylated tau231 (P-tau231), a damaged tau protein found in patients with Alzheimer's disease, may be an early diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer's disease in healthy adults. view more (2010-02-24)
Treating neonatal meningitis -- is nitric oxide a foe or a friend to bacteria?
Current research suggests that nitric oxide may play a role in the pathogenesis of neonatal meningitis. view more (2010-02-24)
Special issue of NeuroRehabilitation focuses on hypoxic-ischemic brain injuries
IOS Press announces publication of a special issue of NeuroRehabilitation: An International Journal (NRE) devoted specifically to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HI-BI), a significant disruption of brain function due to a deficient supply of oxygen to the brain. view more (2010-02-23)
Stanford's Hank Greely puts neuroscience on trial
A lawyer is trying to convince a jury that his client really is crazy. It's usually a tough argument to sell in a court of law. But what if the lawyer has a picture of his client's brain that shows there's something biologically wrong with it? Can that evidence help persuade a jury? Should it even be allowed as evidence? view more (2010-02-22)
The role of sleep in brain development
Marcos Frank, PhD, associate professor of Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, will present information on early brain development and the importance of sleep during early life when the brain is rapidly maturing and highly changeable. view more (2010-02-22)
