Brain changes in patients with migraine
Researchers from Harvard Medical School have found increased thickness of two areas of the brain cortex in people with migraine when compared to healthy controls. view more (2006-10-17)
Slipping past the blood brain barrier: Research shows potential treatment for brain cancer
A compound that kills cancer can sneak past the blood brain barrier, which protects the brain from foreign substances, to do its work in fighting a particularly invasive brain cancer. view more (2005-08-23)
Me, My Left Brain and I: Recognising yourself and others
Whereas the right side of the brain seems to be used for identifying other people's faces, the left side of the brain is used when we recognise our own. Reports out from psychologists today suggest that this means the right side of the brain is used to perceive others and the left side of the brain is specialised for processing the self. view more (2004-04-19)
Color contrast is 'seen' by the brain early doors
Colour contrast is detected much earlier in the brain than previously thought, a new study shows. view more (2007-09-10)
New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair
Patients whose cancer has spread to the brain can avoid typical hair loss (alopecia) when treated with newer radiation techniques, thereby improving their quality of life while still controlling their cancer. view more (2005-10-17)
Dying of excitement
For neurons, overexcitement is deadly. To avoid this, brain cells must sop up unneeded neurotransmitters from the synapse through membrane-bound transporters. If these transporters fail, neurons and other brain cells get excited to death- a phenomenon that may contribute to brain damage during stroke and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-03-06)
Toward a nanomedicine for brain cancer
In an advance toward better treatments for the most serious form of brain cancer, scientists in Illinois are reporting development of the first nanoparticles that seek out and destroy brain cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy cells. view more (2009-09-10)
Link between Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain damage clarified
This week scientists of the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) will once again publish a breakthrough in their research regarding Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-04)
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)
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)
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...

Blood pressure drop during bypass surgery associated with increased risk of cognitive decline
Patients whose mean arterial blood pressure drops during bypass surgery may be at risk for early difficulties in thinking, learning and memory. view more (2007-06-12)
Triple antiplatelet therapy appears superior to dual antiplatelet therapy
Results of five research studies and a clinical registry first-report presentation scheduled for the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), suggest that triple antiplatelet therapy for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)... view more...

Seeing what we are thinking
At last we can see ourselves thinking, using the technique known as functional brain imaging (fMRI), and some of the exciting developments in this field were described in a series of papers presented today, Thursday 29 March, at The British Psychological Society's Centenary Annual Conference, held at the SECC, Glasgow. Dr Adrian Owen, of the... view more... (2001-03-26)
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)
Gene variations linked to brain aneurysms
Variations in a gene seem to be linked to brain (cerebral) aneurysms, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2006-04-27)
Researchers identify a cell type that limits stroke damage
A research team including Serge Rivest of University Laval's Faculty of Medicine has demonstrated the existence of a type of cells that limits brain damage after a stroke. The study was recently published in the online version of Nature Medicine. view more (2009-01-28)
Dual role in breast tissue for a protein involved in leukemia
A protein known to play a role in growth of some types of leukemia appears to have a mixed function in breast cancer development, say researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-06-15)
Changes in brain density can help predict schizophrenia
Changes in brain density could be used to predict whether an individual who is at risk for schizophrenia is likely to develop the condition or not. view more (2006-12-07)
Preventing overload in the brain
Brain researchers in Amsterdam have observed a double control system in the hippocampus. This double control system contributes to the memory and ensures that the brain does not `crash`, as is the case during an epileptic seizure. The neurobiologists from the University of Amsterdam carried out their observations on the hippocampus of rats. The... view more... (2002-01-29)
