Mild blast injury causes molecular changes in brain akin to Alzheimer, Pitt team says
A multicenter study led by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine shows that mild traumatic brain injury after blast exposure produces inflammation, oxidative stress and gene activation patterns akin to disorders of memory processing such as Alzheimer's disease.

A brainy idea 25 years in the making
A discovery made 25 years ago about how the brain controls blood pressure regulation is only now being explored with the help of scientists from the Howard Florey Institute. View More (2007-10-04)
Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. View More (2008-03-12)
New discovery about the formation of new brain cells
The generation of new nerve cells in the brain is regulated by a peptide known as C3a, which directly affects the stem cells' maturation into nerve cells and is also important for the migration of new nerve cells through the brain tissue, reveals new research from the Sahlgrenska Academy published in the journal Stem Cells.

New findings illuminate basis in brain for social decisions, reactions
New insights into the wiring and firing of the "social brain" in humans and primates reveals the brain areas important in altruistic motives and behavior, and the brain regions that respond to the pain of discrimination. View More (2012-10-17)
Stem cells rescue nerve cells by direct contact
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have shown how transplanted stem cells can connect with and rescue threatened neurons and brain tissue. View More (2010-02-02)
Blink, and the brain misses it
We would immediately notice if the outside world suddenly went dark every few seconds. But we rarely become aware of our blinks, even though they cause a similar reduction in the amount of light entering the eye. So why are we not aware of the frequent mini-blackouts caused by blinks?

How the brain routes traffic for maximum alertness
A new UC Davis study shows how the brain reconfigures its connections to minimize distractions and take best advantage of our knowledge of situations. View More (2012-01-13)
Queen's University researchers locate impulse control center in brain
Impulsive behaviour can be improved with training and the improvement is marked by specific brain changes, according to a new Queen's University study. View More (2010-09-22)
Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron. View More (2006-04-04)
Cholesterol-reducing drugs may lessen brain function, says ISU researcher
Research by an Iowa State University scientist suggests that cholesterol-reducing drugs known as statins may lessen brain function. View More (2009-02-24)
Research sheds new light on traumatic brain injuries
Even a mild injury to the brain can have long lasting consequences, including increased risk of cognitive impairment later in life. View More (2013-04-16)
New research suggests that recognising early impairments may make Alzheimer's a treatable disease
Alzheimer's Disease need no longer be a death sentence but will become more treatable, if detected in its early stages. Evidence on brain scans, in conjunction with performance on psychological test showing mild cognitive impairments (MCI) like slight memory loss, pinpoints more people at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. A study at SCP will use new brain imaging techniques to assess the... View More (1999-03-16)
Alzheimer's disease drug treats traumatic brain injury, report GUMC researchers
The destructive cellular pathways activated in Alzheimer's disease are also triggered following traumatic brain injury, say researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). View More (2009-07-13)
Lactate in the brain reveals aging process
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that they may be able to monitor the aging process in the brain, by using MRI technique to measure the brain lactic acid levels. View More (2010-11-02)
UCLA/Toronto researchers unlock key to memory storage in brain
Scientists know little about how the brain assigns cells to participate in encoding and storing memories. Now a UCLA/University of Toronto team has discovered that a protein called CREB controls the odds of a neuron playing a role in memory formation. View More (2007-04-20)
New non-invasive sensor can detect brainwaves remotely
Scientists have developed a remarkable sensor that can record brainwaves without the need for electrodes to be inserted into the brain or even for them to be placed on the scalp. Conventional electroencephalograms (EEGs) monitor electrical activity in the brain with electrodes placed either on the scalp (involving hair removal and skin abrasion) or inserted directly into the brain with needles....

Transcendental Meditation reduces the brain's reaction to pain
Twelve healthy long-term meditators who had been practicing Transcendental Meditation for 30 years showed a 40-50% lower brain response to pain compared to 12 healthy controls. View More (2006-08-10)
Distinct "God Spot" in the Brain Does Not Exist, MU Researcher Says
Scientists have speculated that the human brain features a "God spot," one distinct area of the brain responsible for spirituality. View More (2012-04-19)
Daytime light exposure dynamically enhances brain responses
Exposure to light is known to enhance both alertness and performance in humans, but little is understood regarding the neurological basis for these effects, especially those associated with daytime light exposure. View More (2006-08-22)
