Erectile dysfunction drugs allowed more chemotherapy to reach brain tumors in laboratory study
In a study using laboratory animals, researchers found that medications commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction opened a mechanism called the blood-brain tumor barrier and increased delivery of cancer-fighting drugs to malignant brain tumors. view more (2008-07-29)
Memory uses separate information pathways
The researchers studied two signals from different sensory parts of the brain, one of which arrived at the perirhinal and the other at the postrhinal cerebral cortex. These parts of the brain are located close to the sulcus and receive information from areas of the brain which process different types of sensory information. The information enters... view more...

Matrix fragments trigger fatal excitement
Shredded extracellular matrix (ECM) is toxic to neurons. Chen et al. reveal a new mechanism for how ECM demolition causes brain damage. The study will appear in the December 29, 2008 issue of The Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org). view more (2008-12-30)
3T MRI leads to better diagnosis for focal epilepsy
3T MRI is better at detecting and characterizing structural brain abnormalities in patients with focal epilepsy than 1.5T MRI, leading to a better diagnosis and safer treatment of patients, according to a recent study conducted at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, OR. view more (2008-09-08)
Dynamic brain atlas may help diagnose patients using advanced brain scans
Scientists have today unveiled new technology that may one day help doctors identify subtle brain abnormalities that underly major diseases including many psychiatric disorders and dementia. view more (2002-04-25)
McMaster University researchers discover zip codes for protein
McMaster scientists are very close to defining small molecule drugs that should be able to redirect the huntingtin protein from accumulating in the wrong place within brain cells, which could potentially translate to a therapy for Huntington's Disease (HD). view more (2007-01-30)
Men and women differ in brain use during same tasks
