Miniature robot for precise positioning and targeting in neurosurgery wins award for HU researcher
While recent advances in neurosurgery have made it possible to precisely target areas in the brain with minimum invasiveness -- using a small hole to insert a probe, needle or catheter -- there remains a disadvantage. view more (2007-06-06)
Treating Lazy Eyes with a Joystick
Four percent of all children suffer from amblyopia, better known as "lazy eye syndrome." view more (2009-06-23)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
UK researchers find way to reduce power consumption of transistors in computer chips
University of Kentucky researchers have discovered a means of reducing gate leakage current of transistors in computer chips that will permit chip producers to continue developing more efficient and powerful chips with reduced power consumption. view more (2005-12-07)
Music, dance and science join forces for Brain Awareness Week
Young musicians will take part in a novel experiment in London on Saturday 20 March during Brain Awareness Week (15-21 March 2004) to find out whether learning from sight or sound makes a difference to their performance. The experiment is being organised by the New London Orchestra and the Institute of Neurology and will take place at the Camden... view more... (2004-03-09)
Children with TVs in their room sleep less
Middle school children who have a television or computer in their room sleep less during the school year, watch more TV, play more computer games and surf the net more than their peers who don't. view more (2008-09-03)
Research shows brain injury may occur within one millisecond after head hits car windshield
Research by a Sandia National Laboratories engineer and a University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center neurologist shows that brain injury may occur within one millisecond after a human head is thrust into a windshield as a result of a car accident. view more (2006-11-08)
Imaging shows structural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. view more (2007-10-26)
Role of noise in neurons
Addressing a current issue in neuroscience, Aldo Faisal and Simon Laughlin from Cambridge University investigate the reliability of thin axons for transmitting information. They show that noise effects in ion channels in the brain are much larger than previously assumed - meaning the fidelity of transmission is compromised. view more (2007-05-04)
Feeling anxious? Talk to a computer
A computer can effectively treat people with anxiety problems. view more (1999-03-26)
Youth sports concussion program points to need for proper treatment of concussion in children
Traumatic brain injury expert Gerard Gioia, PhD, Chief of Neuropsychology at Children's National Medical Center and director of the Safe Concussion Outcome, Recovery and Education (SCORE) Program, has published a successful concussion management program for children based on his pioneering work in this area. The program is one of the first of its... view more... (2008-03-24)
MSU researcher helps develop computer game for Ugandan children recovering from cerebral malaria
The computer program Captain's Log - originally used with individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, brain injuries or learning disabilities - is being adapted to rehabilitate Ugandan children who are survivors of cerebral malaria. view more (2007-10-24)
Dress for action with a bionic suit
A ROBOT suit has been developed that could help older people or those with disabilities to walk or lift heavy objects. view more (2005-04-06)
Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. view more (2007-11-02)
FSU anthropologist confirms 'Hobbit' indeed a separate species
After the skeletal remains of an 18,000-year-old, Hobbit-sized human were discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003, some scientists thought that the specimen must have been a pygmy or a microcephalic — a human with an abnormally small skull. view more (2007-01-30)
Breakthrough in 3-D Brain Mapping Enables Removal of Fist-Sized Tumor
A new technology involving the fusion of four different types of images into a 3-D map of a patient's brain has helped University of Cincinnati (UC) specialists successfully remove a fist-sized tumor from the brain of an Indiana woman. view more (2009-07-15)
Is Tetris good for the brain?
Brain imaging shows playing Tetris leads to a thicker cortex and may also increase brain efficiency. view more (2009-09-01)
The fight for the best quantum bit (qubit)
Our results give us, for the first time, the possibility to understand the interaction between just two electrons placed next to each other in a carbon nanotube. view more (2008-06-25)
Facial models allow "band-efficient" video communication
Is it possible to combine a three-dimensional wire model of a face with real pictures of the same face? And is it possible to get the computer that is forming the new image to follow the face even when the person in question makes sudden movements or partially covers her face with her hand? These are a couple of the research questions for the... view more... (2002-02-11)
Computer model improves ultrasound image
Doctors use diagnostic sonography or ultrasound to visualise organs and other internal structures of the human body. view more (2008-11-05)
