Stem cell research aims to tackle Parkinson's disease
Scientists in Sweden are developing new ways to grow brain cells in the laboratory that could one day be used to treat patients with Parkinson's disease, an international conference of biologists organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) was told last week. view more (2008-01-21)
Cerebrospinal fluid shows Alzheimer's disease deterioration much earlier
It is possible to determine which patients run a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and the dementia associated with it, even in patients with minimal memory impairment. This has been shown by recent research at the Sahlgrenska Academy. view more (2009-06-18)
Healing potential discovered in everyday human brain cells
University of Florida researchers have shown ordinary human brain cells may share the prized qualities of self-renewal and adaptability normally associated with stem cells. view more (2006-08-17)
Computers could be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
Computers are able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease faster and more accurately than experts, according to research published in the journal Brain. The findings may help ensure that patients are diagnosed earlier, increasing treatment options. view more (2008-02-22)
Brainy robot breaks new ground in Parkinson's research
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have successfully built a 'brain-bot' that could lead to a breakthrough in our understanding of illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, schizophrenia and Tourette's syndrome. Brain-bots are robots that are part-controlled by computer models of circuits in the human brain and they can... view more... (2003-04-16)
Building the blood-brain barrier
Construction of the brain's border fence is supervised by Wnt/b-catenin signaling, report Liebner et al. in The Journal of Cell Biology. view more (2008-10-27)
Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
According to research work at the University Hospital, cell therapy could improve many of the motor deficits of patients with Parkinson's Disease. view more (2004-05-03)
Decoding Funny Faces to Detect Disease
Like Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind, life is often difficult for the 2.4 million Americans with schizophrenia. A late or incorrect diagnosis and the lack of effective treatment options can destroy a sufferer's quality of life. view more (2009-02-05)
Prenatal meth exposure linked to abnormal brain development
A first of its kind study examining the effects of methamphetamine use during pregnancy has found the drug appears to cause abnormal brain development in children. view more (2009-04-16)
Mayo Clinic Proceedings reviews deep brain stimulation to treat psychiatric diseases
Pioneering therapeutic trials to investigate the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in hard-to-treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette's syndrome are underway at multiple medical centers around the world. view more (2009-06-30)
Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a disconnection of speech-related areas in the cortex.... view more...

Cell therapy slows progression of an inherited neurological disease; Improves motor skills in mice
In an important discovery, scientists have demonstrated that the progression of a type of genetic brain disease is slowed and symptoms are improved in mice that received cell transplants. view more (2006-03-23)
Dopamine study sheds new light on drug addiction
A paper published in today's issue of Science has challenged beliefs about the role of dopamine in the brain, which could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and drug addiction. The research suggests that dopamine has a far wider, less specialised role than previously hypothesised. view more (2005-03-02)
Researchers use light to detect Alzheimer's
A team of researchers in Bedford, Mass. has developed a way of examining brain tissue with near-infrared light to detect signs of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-03-17)
International scientists tackle obstacles to treating brain disorders
A research team led by scientists at the University of Minnesota Medical School and Oregon Health & Science University have outlined the challenges and made suggestions on how to advance research and improve treatments for brain disorders. view more (2007-12-21)
Breast cancer subtypes linked to survival from secondary brain tumors
Screening breast cancers for three receptors could help doctors predict the likely survival of patients with brain metastases. view more (2008-02-28)
Collagen VI may help protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND), UCSF, and Stanford have discovered that a certain type of collagen, collagen VI, protects brain cells against amyloid-beta (Aβ) proteins, which are widely thought to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2009-01-06)
Pittsburgh Compound B finds Alzheimer's-associated plaques in symptom-free older adults
In the largest study of its kind, Pittsburgh Compound B, an imaging agent that could facilitate the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, has been used to identify amyloid deposition in the brains of clinically older adults. view more (2008-11-11)
A special type of collagen may help protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease
Scientists from the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND), UCSF, and Stanford have discovered that a certain type of collagen, collagen VI, protects brain cells against amyloid-beta (Aβ ) proteins, which are widely thought to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). view more (2008-12-11)
Study outlines how stroke, head injury can increase risk of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers from the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders (MGH-MIND) have discovered how the death of brain cells caused by a stroke or head injury may cause generation of amyloid-beta protein - the key component of senile plaques seen in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-06-07)
