Learning deficits in adolescence linked to novel brain receptor
It is well known that the onset of puberty marks the end of the optimal period for learning language and certain spatial skills, such as computer/video game operation. view more (2010-03-19)
Songbirds provide insight into speech production
With the help of a little singing bird, Penn State physicists are gaining insight into how the human brain functions, which may lead to a better understanding of complex vocal behavior, human speech production and ultimately, speech disorders and related diseases. view more (2010-03-19)
Age, gender can affect risk to radiation treatment
Doctors have a clearer picture than ever before of how much radiation reaches sensitive tissues during routine X-rays and similar imaging, thanks to sophisticated models of the human body being developed at the University of Florida. view more (2010-03-17)
Researchers ID brain abnormalities in children exposed to methamphetamine in utero
It has long been known that alcohol exposure is toxic to the developing fetus and can result in lifelong brain, cognitive and behavioral problems. view more (2010-03-17)
Brain plaques may explain higher risk of Alzheimer's based on mom's history
A family history of Alzheimer's is one of the biggest risk factors for developing the memory-robbing disease, which affects more than 5 million Americans and is the most common form of senile dementia. view more (2010-03-16)
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)
Imaging fat layer around heart can help predict disease
Imaging epicardial adipose tissue, or the layer of fat around the heart, can provide extra information compared with standard diagnostic techniques such as coronary artery calcium scoring, according to research by cardiologists at Emory University School of Medicine. view more (2010-03-16)
Impulsive-Antisocial Personality Traits Linked to a Hypersensitive Brain Reward System
Normal individuals who scored high on a measure of impulsive/antisocial traits display a hypersensitive brain reward system, according to a brain imaging study by researchers at Vanderbilt University. 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)
New Study Finds 70 Percent of Able-bodied Hockey Players Have Abnormal Hip and Pelvis MRIs
Seventy percent of healthy professional and collegiate hockey players had abnormal hip and pelvis MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging), even though they had no symptoms of injury, according to a study presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Specialty Day in New Orleans. view more (2010-03-15)
Psychopaths' brains wired to seek rewards, no matter the consequences
The brains of psychopaths appear to be wired to keep seeking a reward at any cost, new research from Vanderbilt University finds. The research uncovers the role of the brain's reward system in psychopathy and opens a new area of study for understanding what drives these individuals. view more (2010-03-15)
New imaging technology brings trace chemicals into focus
Arizona State Univeristy scientist N.J. Tao and his colleagues at the Biodesign Institute have hit on a new, versatile method to significantly improve the detection of trace chemicals important in such areas as national security, human health and the environment. view more (2010-03-12)
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)
Why surprises temporarily blind us
Reading this story requires you to willfully pay attention to the sentences and to tune out nearby conversations, the radio and other distractions. But if a fire alarm sounded, your attention would be involuntarily snatched away from the story to the blaring sound. view more (2010-03-11)
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)
Nuclear physics promises earlier detection of brain tumors with just 1 scan
Time taken to detect brain tumours could soon be significantly reduced thanks to an ongoing pioneering project led by the University of Liverpool with the Nuclear Physics Group and Technology departments at the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) at Daresbury Laboratory. view more (2010-03-04)
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)
