Researchers have developed an experimental tongue-based system that may allow individuals with debilitating disabilities to control wheelchairs, computers and other devices with relative ease and no sophistication. view more (2008-07-22)
A Simple Way for Middle Aged and Older Adults to Assess How Stiff their Arteries Are: Reach for their Toes
How far you can reach beyond your toes from a sitting position - normally used to define the flexibility of a person's body - may be an indicator of how stiff your arteries are. view more (2009-10-06)
Individuals vary their immune response according to age, sex and the costs
Is it always good to respond maximally when pathogens or disease strike, or should individuals vary their immune response to balance immediate and future costs? view more (2008-09-11)
Patients regain cognitive function after radiation for brain tumors
Patients who suffer from low-grade brain tumors are able to regain normal cognitive function after receiving radiation therapy to shrink their tumor. view more (2005-11-16)

Anorexic patients drastically reduce food intake and are often not capable of changing their behavior. view more (2009-08-03)
Hatha yoga practice and fear of falling in older adults
Indiana University researchers found promising results in an exploratory study involving yoga practice by older adults who expressed a fear of falling. view more (2009-03-10)
Adult brain cells are movers and shakers
It's a general belief that the circuitry of young brains has robust flexibility but eventually gets "hard-wired" in adulthood. As Johns Hopkins researchers and their colleagues report in the Nov. 8 issue of Neuron, however, adult neurons aren't quite as rigidly glued in place as we suspect. view more (2007-11-09)
Adult brain neurons can remodel connections
Overturning a century of prevailing thought, scientists are finding that neurons in the adult brain can remodel their connections. view more (2008-11-25)
Dads want flexibility, not shorter working hours
Being a father has little effect on men's working patterns, in spite of the fact that they cut back their working hours for a short time after a new child is born. view more (2006-08-24)
Remembrance of smells past: how the brain stores those meaningful memories
Smells trigger memories but can memories trigger smell, and what does this imply for the way memories are stored? A UCL study of the smell gateway in the brain has found that the memory of an event is scattered across sensory parts of the brain, suggesting that advertising aimed at triggering memories of golden beaches and soft sand could well... view more...

UC Engineering Researchers Uncover Factors That Control Ion Motion in Solid Electrolytes — Coming to a Pacemaker Near You
University of Cincinnati researchers show for the first time that they can connect an increase in electrical (ionic) conductivity with flexibility of their networks. The same team of researchers discovered intermediate phases seven years ago in amorphous or disordered materials where networks are covalently bonded. view more (2007-05-09)
Internal choices are weaker than those dictated by the outside world
The underlying sense of being in control of our own actions is challenged by new research from UCL (University College London) which demonstrates that the choices we make internally are weak and easily overridden compared to when we are told which choice to make. view more (2009-02-11)
Madonna Vies With Hepburn for Title of 21st Century Post-Feminist Icon
As International Women's Day on 8th March 2003 approaches new research hails film star Audrey Hepburn, who first hit silver screens in the 1950s, as a rival to Madonna as 21st century post-feminist icon. Like pop star Madonna, who frequently transforms her image, Dr Rachel Moseley from the University of Warwick reveals the flexibility of Hepburn's... view more... (2003-03-07)
UCSF Medical Center using newest high-tech tool for brain disorders
The most advanced noninvasive, radiosurgery tool for treating a variety of brain disorders--including tumors--is now being used by specialists at UCSF Medical Center. The new machine expands UCSF's ability to provide state-of-the-art, specialized care to patients. view more (2007-12-04)
Brain surgery, new light-emitting materials and medical imaging - all are covered in the December issue of Opto and Laser Europe
LASERS ON THE BRAIN A new, minimally-invasive tool that can completely remove a brain tumour through a small hole in the skull has been delivered to surgeons in Germany. Conventional techniques use lasers to destroy brain tumours by thermal effects. This can destroy healthy tissue, and increases the risk of toxic side effects because it does not... view more...

Neuroscientist scans brain for clues on best time to multitask
In today's fast-paced world, multitasking has become an increasingly necessary part of our daily routine. Unfortunately, multitasking also is notoriously inefficient. However, a new brain imaging study led by a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of New Hampshire finds that there are optimal times when we are better suited to multitask. view more (2008-09-03)
The Hours We Work
THE HOURS WE WORK: BETTER ORGANISED BY THE YEAR THAN THE WEEK? What if working hours were organised on an annual cycle rather than a weekly one? New ESRC-funded research by Professors David Bell and Robert Hart explores the impact of 'annualised hours contracts' (AHCs), a new way of arranging hours of work that currently covers 3-4 percent of... view more...

Epilepsy and brain pathology linked together by the protein ADK
The brain of individuals who suffer from epilepsy is characterized by astrogliosis, a brain pathology evidenced by a complex series of changes in the morphology and function of brain cells known as astrocytes. view more (2008-01-03)
Nanotube foams flex and rebound with super compressibility
Carbon nanotubes have enticed researchers since their discovery in 1991, offering an impressive combination of high strength and low weight. view more (2005-11-28)
