Researchers study effects of Aricept in pediatric brain cancer survivors
A pediatric oncologist at Brenner Children's Hospital is evaluating whether a drug typically used to treat Alzheimer's patients will help brain cancer survivors avoid the learning and memory problems that are common after radiation therapy. view more (2006-11-06)
Marking anorexia with a brain protein
Eating disorders are frequently seen as psychological or societal diseases, but do they have an underlying biological cause? A new study shows that the levels of a brain protein differ between healthy and anorexic women. view more (2009-06-24)
Rewiring the mammalian brain - neurons make fickle friends
A new discovery from the Brain Mind Institute of the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) shows that the brain rewires itself following an experience. view more (2006-08-08)
Brain tumour information for headstrong kids
For the thousands of children who have a brain tumour, new multi-media information is now available. For the first time, children with brain tumours and their parents have collaborated with the Brain and Spine Foundation to produce Headstrong, to be launched on Thursday, 18 March at the Science Museum in London. Involving children in this way is a... view more... (2004-03-16)
Human mind: Sound and vision wired through same 'black box'
Sounds and images share a similar neural code in the human brain, according to a new Canadian study. view more (2009-08-13)
New study identifies key gene in development of connections between brain and spinal cord
A new study, presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's (ACNP) Annual Meeting, has identified a specific gene that is necessary for the development of connections between the brain and the spinal cord. view more (2005-12-14)
Harvard researchers publish MRI images of genes in action in the living brain
Biologists have just confirmed what poets have known for centuries: eyes really are windows of the soul-or at least of the brain. view more (2008-03-31)
Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)
Tumor-killing virus selectively targets diseased brain cells
New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. view more (2008-02-20)
No strong evidence linking amateur boxing with long-term brain injury
The evidence linking amateur boxing and chronic traumatic brain injury is not strong, concludes a study published on bmj.com today. As such, the researchers say they cannot firmly prove nor reject the theory that amateur boxing leads to chronic brain injury. view more (2007-10-08)
Brain changes significantly after age 18, says Dartmouth research
Two Dartmouth researchers are one step closer to defining exactly when human maturity sets in. In a study aimed at identifying how and when a person's brain reaches adulthood, the scientists have learned that, anatomically, significant changes in brain structure continue after age 18. view more (2006-02-07)
A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart rate, body movements, and eye movements. Curtis... view more...

Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery. view more (2009-11-12)
Formal education lessens the impact of Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Department of Psychiatry, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Technische Universität München, investigated the effects of formal education on the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-08-12)
Smokers with stroke in the family 6 times more likely to have stroke too
A new study shows that people who are smokers and have a family history of brain aneurysm appear to be significantly more likely to suffer a stroke from a brain aneurysm themselves. view more (2009-01-05)
Colon Cancer Screening Technique Shows Continued Promise in New Study
Recent clinical trials show that a new colon cancer screening technique created by Northwestern University researchers has a high enough sensitivity that it could potentially be as or more successful than a colonoscopy in screening for colon cancer. view more (2009-06-10)
How Bacteria get into Brains to Cause Meningitis
An international collaboration between medical researchers may have identified how meningitis causing bacteria cross from the blood into the brain, paving the way for new strategies to prevent this fatal disease, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. "Almost every known bacteria... view more... (2003-04-02)
Sunlight and serotonin underlie seasonal mood disorders
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide further evidence that the effect of sunlight on neurotransmitters in the brain plays a significant role in seasonal mood disorders. The success of phototherapy (ultraviolet light therapy to stimulate brain neurotransmitter activity) and drugs that prevent the reuptake of the... view more... (2002-11-29)
Mayo Clinic study demonstrates patients' multiple sclerosis lesion type dictates effective treatment
A Mayo Clinic study demonstrates that only those multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with evidence for antibody deposition or complement activation - immune cells that can cause tissue destruction - in their lesions are likely to respond to plasma exchange, a treatment for acute MS attacks. view more (2005-08-12)
Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome. view more (2008-11-20)
