Hopkins researchers discover how brain protein might control memory
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have figured out how one particular protein contributes to long-term memory and helps the brain remember things longer than an hour or two. view more (2006-11-13)
US funding for Lund research for project on adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are to be treated so that they develop characteristics of nerve cells and can produce dopamine, according to Associate Professor Jia-Yi Li at the Wallenberg Neuro Center at Lund University, who has received a grant of some SEK 2 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American counterpart of the Swedish Research... view more...

Chemical cues turn embryonic stem cells into cerebellar neurons
In order to differentiate and specialize, stem cells require very specific environmental cues in a very specific order, and scientists have so far been unable to prod them to go through each of the necessary steps. view more (2007-03-15)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
Important New Research Identifies How Brain Cells Die During A Stroke
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from British and Italian universities, have unveiled a mechanism that causes the death of brain cells (neurons) in stroke. The discovery may help explain why some therapy approaches for stroke have been unsuccessful and identifies potential research avenues for the... view more... (2005-01-25)
Neural stem cell differentiation factor discovered
Neural stem cells represent the cellular backup of our brain. These cells are capable of self-renewal to form new stem cells or differentiate into neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. view more (2009-06-30)
ORNL advances therapy for Parkinson's, other diseases
By miniaturizing a device that monitors the delivery of healthy cells, researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing a powerful instrument for physicians to use in treating patients with Parkinson's syndrome, brain tumors and other diseases. view more (2009-07-23)
AN INTELLIGENT COMBINATION OF MATHEMATICS AND CELL BIOLOGY COULD SPELL DEATH TO BRAIN TUMOURS
Combining two separate observations of cells in brain tumours could enable doctors to improve the success rate of radiotherapy. Speaking today (23 January) at the Institute of Physics Simulation and Modelling Applied to Medicine conference in London, chemical engineer Dr Norman Kirkby from the University of Surrey will explain how using the... view more...

Parkinson's approach with stem cells a promising first step
Brain cells derived from human embryonic stem cells improved the condition of rats with Parkinson's-like symptoms dramatically, but the treatment caused a significant problem - the appearance of brain tumors - that scientists are now working to solve. view more (2006-12-04)
Blood flow in Alzheimer's disease
Researchers have discovered that the enzyme, endothelin converting enzyme-2 (ECE-2), may cause the decrease in blood flow in the brain seen in Alzheimer's disease and contribute to progression of the disease. view more (2009-07-28)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
A good ear: Rats identify specific sounds in noisy environments
A study conducted on hundreds of rats could help us understand how the brain identifies specific sounds in a noisy environment. view more (2008-11-19)
Researchers see evidence of memory in the songbird brain
When a zebra finch hears a new song from a member of its own species, the experience changes gene expression in its brain in unexpected ways, researchers report. view more (2009-06-29)
Discovery of novel nerve cell modulator offers potential for mood disorders, epilepsy treatments
The discovery of a novel molecular switch that powerfully modulates nerve cell activity offers the potential for new mood disorder and epilepsy treatments, University of California, Irvine researchers report. view more (2007-08-06)
Scientists reveal new pattern in our daily clock
The findings of a study published in Science today turn a long-held theory on circadian rhythms on its head and mean that we may now be able to develop new drugs and approaches to tune the daily clock to treat sleep disorders and to aid recovery from long-distance flights. view more (2009-10-09)
Brain memory area modifies its wiring diagram during the female cycle
Researchers at Northwestern University and Columbia University have found that "wiring" in female rat brain memory area expands and retracts in relation to the amount of estrogen present during the estrous/menstrual cycle. view more (2005-11-15)
Drug's epilepsy-prevention effect may be widely applicable
A drug with potential to prevent epilepsy caused by a genetic condition may also help prevent more common forms of epilepsy caused by brain injury. view more (2009-06-02)
CU-Boulder study shows brain's immune system may cause chronic seizures
Chronic seizures caused by traumatic head injuries may result from chemicals released by the brain's immune system attempting to repair the injured site. view more (2009-07-07)
3-D fruit fly images to benefit brain research
The fragile head and brain of a fly are not easy things to examine but MRC scientists have figured out how to make it a little simpler. And they hope their research will shed light on human disease. view more (2007-09-05)
More insight into Alzheimer's disease with Stanford discovery of possible cause
A peacekeeper in the body's defenses against infection may hold the key to understanding-and eventually treating-Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine discovered that when a molecule responsible for dialing down the immune system malfunctions in the brain cells of mice, the rodents develop symptoms of the... view more...
