OHSU discovery sheds light into how stem cells become brain cells
Researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have discovered one key gene that appears to control how stem cells become various kinds of brain cells. view more (2005-12-15)
Tumor-killing virus selectively targets diseased brain cells
New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. view more (2008-02-20)
No strong evidence linking amateur boxing with long-term brain injury
The evidence linking amateur boxing and chronic traumatic brain injury is not strong, concludes a study published on bmj.com today. As such, the researchers say they cannot firmly prove nor reject the theory that amateur boxing leads to chronic brain injury. view more (2007-10-08)
Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery. view more (2009-11-12)
Formal education lessens the impact of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Department of Psychiatry, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Technische Universität München, investigated the effects of formal education on the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-08-12)
Alcoholism-associated molecular adaptations in brain neurocognitive circuits
After many years of heavy drinking, alcohol produces pathological alterations in the brain. In many alcoholics these changes culminate in massive social deterioration and disorders of memory and learning. view more (2008-07-09)
Childhood cancer survivors treated with radiation face increased risk of tumors later in life
University of Minnesota cancer researchers found that children who received radiation treatment for cancer face an increased risk for brain and spinal column tumors later in life. view more (2006-11-02)
Smokers with stroke in the family 6 times more likely to have stroke too
A new study shows that people who are smokers and have a family history of brain aneurysm appear to be significantly more likely to suffer a stroke from a brain aneurysm themselves. view more (2009-01-05)
New insight into most common forebrain malformation
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified one of the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic brain malformation called holoprosencephaly (HPE). The findings not only yield insights into the most common developmental malformation of the anterior brain and face in newborns, but also help in understanding the intricate... view more...

Engineers study brain folding in higher mammals
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are finding common ground between the shaping of the brain and the heart during embryonic development. view more (2007-10-02)
How Bacteria get into Brains to Cause Meningitis
An international collaboration between medical researchers may have identified how meningitis causing bacteria cross from the blood into the brain, paving the way for new strategies to prevent this fatal disease, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. "Almost every known bacteria... view more... (2003-04-02)
From brains to behavior: Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for neuroscience research
Research in the field of neuroscience is constantly expanding to provide knowledge about biological mechanisms that underlie our ability to experience and interact with the world around us. view more (2007-10-02)
Brain tissue reveals possible genetic trigger for schizophrenia
A study led by scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill may have identified a molecular mechanism involved in the development of schizophrenia. view more (2007-03-29)
UNC-Duke study: Impaired brain plasticity linked to Angelman syndrome learning deficits
How might disruption of a single gene in the brain cause the severe cognitive deficits associated with Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder? Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and Duke University now believe they have the answer: impaired brain plasticity. view more (2009-05-11)
New research shows how aging brain brings a healthy dose of perspective
A University of Alberta researcher in collaboration with researchers from Duke University has proven that wisdom really does come with age, at least when it comes to your emotions. view more (2008-06-13)
Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome. view more (2008-11-20)
Brain cells help neighboring nerves regenerate
Researchers have uncovered a completely unexpected way that the brain repairs nerve damage, wherein cells known as astrocytes deliver a protective protein to nearby neurons. view more (2008-05-28)
Tracing broken wiring in stroke patients
Researchers have used a technique to trace the functional disruption in brain circuitry that causes stroke patients to show a lack of awareness or response to the side of the body opposite to the side of the stroke lesion in the brain. view more (2007-03-15)
Genetic variation helps to understand predisposition to schizophrenia
Scientists have provided new insight into how a gene is related to schizophrenia. view more (2007-08-10)
Mouse model for schizophrenia has genetic on-off switch
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have developed a mouse model for schizophrenia in which a mutated gene linked to schizophrenia can be turned on or off at will. view more (2007-09-11)
