Autism the focus for students
The highly respected international speaker, Professor Simon Baron-Cohen will be presenting his world-renowned research on autism to the next generation of psychologists at the British Psychological Society's Student Member Group Conference, today, Saturday 17 April. view more (2004-04-19)
Pedophilia patients are found to have deficits in brain activation
Pedophilia, the sexual attraction of adults to children, is a significant public health concern and it does not respond well to treatment. view more (2007-09-21)
Future diabetes treatment may use resveratrol to target the brain
Resveratrol, a molecule found in red grapes, has been shown to improve diabetes when delivered orally to rodents. Until now, however, little has been known about how these beneficial changes are mediated in the body. view more (2009-10-06)
'Singing brains' offers epilepsy and schizophrenia clues
Studying the way a person's brain 'sings' could improve our understanding of conditions such as epilepsy and schizophrenia and help develop better treatments. view more (2009-05-20)
Surprising results in teen study: adolescent risky behavior may signal mature brain
A new study using brain imaging to study teen behavior indicates that adolescents who engage in dangerous activities have frontal white matter tracts that are more adult in form than their more conservative peers. view more (2009-08-26)
Newborn brains grow vision and movement regions first
The regions of the brain that control vision and other sensory information grow dramatically in the first few months following birth, while the area that controls abstract thought experiences very little growth during the same period, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found. view more (2007-02-09)
Groundbreaking findings on autism to be presented at Carnegie Mellon international symposium
Today's autism research draws on a variety of scientific disciplines, from genetics to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to neural development. At the 35th Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, "Development and Brain Systems in Autism," 16 of the world's most prominent autism researchers will present their latest groundbreaking... view more...

New Brain Test to Monitor Alzheimer's Disease
A new test that taps brain records so accurately it caught out a serial killer, could soon be used by pharmaceutical companies to speed up approval of drugs for Alzheimer's and other brain diseases, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry Magazine. 'Brain Fingerprinting' is the patented technology that can measure objectively, for the... view more... (2004-03-15)
Blame the brain for high blood pressure
The controversial idea that one cause of high blood pressure lies within the brain, and not the heart or blood vessels, has been put forward by scientists at the University of Bristol, UK, and is published this week in the journal Hypertension. view more (2007-04-16)
Rhode Island Hospital study finds link between obesity, type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration
New research from Rhode Island Hospital found that obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) can contribute to mild neurodegeneration with features common with Alzheimer's disease (AD) - the first study to show that obesity can cause neurodegeneration. view more (2008-09-05)
U of T researchers identify protein
Researchers at the University of Toronto have identified a protein which plays a key role in the development of neurons, which could enhance our understanding of how the brain works, and how diseases such as Alzheimer's occur. view more (2009-09-08)
Neural development protein disproved as marker for schizophrenia
The results of a study published today in the open access journal BMC Psychiatry contradict previous findings and show that Oct-6, a protein involved in neurodevelopment, is normally expressed in the adult brain and cannot be used to identify patients with schizophrenia. view more (2005-10-24)
Researchers lift a corner of the veil of depression
About 1 in 10 Europeans has to contend with some form of depression during his or her life. But how people become depressed is still largely a mystery. view more (2006-03-16)
MIT neuroscientists find neural stopwatch in the brain
MIT researchers have identified populations of neurons that code time with extreme precision in the primate brain. These neurons are found in two interconnected brain regions, the prefrontal cortex and the striatum, both of which are known to play critical roles in learning, movement, and thought control. view more (2009-10-20)
Hope for sufferers of rare brain tumour
The condition affects around 25-50 individuals a year in the UK and accounts for 5-9% of all childhood brain tumours. view more (2000-02-09)
The immune system and Alzheimer's disease
Utrecht researchers, funded by NWO, have determined the role played by brain cells from the immune system that are located close to dying memory cells. The research will help determine the causes of Alzheimer's disease. In patients with Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells die off. The death of these neurones takes place primarily in the vicinity... view more... (2001-11-27)
New molecular insight into vertebrate brain development
In the December 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Fred H. Gage (The Salk Institute for Biological Studies) and colleagues reveal a role for the Hippo signaling pathway in the regulation of vertebrate neural development, identifying new factors - and potential therapeutic targets - that may be involved in congenital brain size disorders and neurological... view more...

U of MN researchers link early brain development to adult-onset neurodegenerative disease
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's Institute for Human Genetics have shown for the first time that the severity of an adult neurodegenerative disease is tied to how well the brain developed shortly after birth. view more (2006-11-17)
Call for closer examination of 'brain death' as the end of life
The medical diagnosis of brain death is at odds with our traditional view of when death actually occurs. view more (2007-09-12)
Experts warn over health check brain scans
A new study has voiced concern about the growing market for brain screening tests, which people can buy as part of a general health MOT. view more (2009-09-04)
