Interactive 3-D Map in OR Can Better Guide Jefferson Neurological Surgeons Through the Brain During Procedure
Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience is one of first medical centers in the U.S. to develop and begin using translational, interactive 3-D technology to map the human brain and help guide neurological surgeons during epilepsy surgery and procedures to remove malignant brain tumors. view more (2007-07-31)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
UBC scientist unveils secret of newborn's first words
A new study could explain why "daddy" and "mommy" are often a baby's first words - the human brain may be hard-wired to recognize certain repetition patterns. view more (2008-08-27)
Parts of brain involved in social cognition may be in place by age 6
Social cognition-the ability to think about the minds and mental states of others-is essential for human beings. In the last decade, a group of regions has been discovered in the human brain that are specifically used for social cognition. view more (2009-07-15)
Moderate alcohol consumption enhances the formation of new nerve cells - may contribute to alcohol dependency
Moderate alcohol consumption over a relatively long period of time can enhance the formation of new nerve cells in the adult brain. The new cells could prove important in the development of alcohol dependency and other long-term effects of alcohol on the brain. The findings are published by Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-04-26)
Can mental training games help prevent Alzheimer's?
Loss of thinking power is a fear shared by many aging baby boomers. That fear has resulted in a budding industry for brain training products - exercises such as Brain Age, Mindfit and My Brain Trainer - which in 2007 generated $80 million in the United States alone. view more (2009-03-11)
Improved diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis thanks to new techniques
Dutch researcher Wendy van der Meide has developed and evaluated new techniques for a better diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis and an improved monitoring of its treatment. Accurately establishing the number of parasites in a skin lesion before, during and after treatment is vital, so as to prevent serious physical consequences. view more (2008-01-25)
Memory mission explores new territory in neuroscience
Astrophysicists peer into the far corners of deep space for dark matter, but for neuroscientists at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) exploring the unknown is much closer to home. view more (2008-11-21)
Genes found to play a role in breast cancer's spread to the brain
New research led by investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) identifies three genes that specifically mediate the metastasis, or spread, of breast cancer to the brain and illuminates the mechanisms by which this spread occurs. The study was published online today in Nature. view more (2009-05-07)
Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear. view more (2008-08-29)
Spinal cord bridge bypasses injury to restore mobility
The body's spinal cord is like a super highway of nerves. When an injury occurs, the body's policing defenses put up a roadblock in the form of a scar to prevent further injury, but it stops all neural traffic from moving forward. view more (2006-08-21)
Magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection shows promise for gastric cancer
A prospective clinical trial from researchers in Japan shows magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection for large early gastric cancer to be a feasible and safe method in humans. view more (2009-01-28)
Lead exposure leads to brain cell loss and damage years later
Eighteen years later, people who worked with lead have significant loss of brain cells and damage to brain tissue. view more (2006-05-23)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
Human Brain Connectivity Mapping
The unique connectivity pattern of a brain region determines the type of information available to it, and hence influences its function. Defining these patterns enhances our knowledge of human brain architecture and function. Non-invasive in vivo definition of brain connectivity patterns complements functional imaging and provides new... view more... (2004-09-23)
New research promising for improving brain cell survival after brain injury
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found a protein in the brain that can save neurons from dying after experiencing traumatic brain injury from incidents such as stroke, car accidents and falls. view more (2006-07-11)
Hepatic encephalopathy and prehepatic portal hypertension rat model
A research article to be published June 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. The research team lead by Dr. Gabriela Beatriz Acosta, observed that the activity of GS was increased in the hippocampus in PH rats. view more (2009-06-29)
Gas-blockers might slow down Alzheimer's disease
A noxious gas speeds up brain degeneration in Alzheimer's disease, according to a study in the November 7 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. view more (2005-10-31)
New brain tumor model developed
A collaboration of researchers, led by Dr. Martine Roussel (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital), has developed a novel mouse model of medulloblastoma - the most prevalent malignant pediatric brain tumor. view more (2005-10-31)
First of its kind report on how children with brain tumors perform at school
While children who have had brain tumors perform worse in school than healthy kids, grades in foreign language are the most affected and girls have a harder time than boys in getting good grades. view more (2007-07-17)
