Cells united against cancer
Sheets of highly organized epithelial cells line all the cavities and free surfaces of the body, forming barriers that control the movement of liquids and cells in the body organs. view more (2007-08-28)
Oxygen deprived brains repaired and saved
Scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found special proteins that protect the brain after it has been damaged by a lack of oxygen, which occurs in conditions such as stroke, perinatal asphyxia, near-drowning and traumatic brain injury. view more (2006-08-25)
CERN's 50th anniversary in lights - spectacular illumination of the 27-kilometre ring of the Large Hadron Collider accelerator
To mark the 50th anniversary of CERN 's creation, local Swiss and French authorities have clubbed together to offer the Organization a spectacular illumination of the 27-kilometre ring of the Large Hadron Collider accelerator. At 20:00 sharp on 29 September, Micheline Spoerri, Head of Geneva's Department of Justice, Police and Security, will throw... view more... (2004-09-23)
Study links manic depression with brain tissue loss
People with bipolar disorder - or manic depression - suffer from an accelerated shrinking of their brain, researchers at the University of Edinburgh have found. view more (2007-07-20)

Penn study finds way to prevent protein clumping characteristic of Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a protein from a most unlikely source -- baker's yeast -- that might protect against Parkinson's disease. view more (2008-08-15)
Treating multiple brain tumors with radiosurgery results in improved survival
Treating four or more brain tumors in a single radiosurgery session resulted in improved survival compared to whole brain radiation therapy alone. view more (2005-10-19)
Functional brain imaging in the dog.
Single photon emission tomography is an imaging modality using radiolabelled tracer substances to investigate function and metabolism of various organs in the living patient. We explored this technique in the dog to investigate brain function. Brain perfusion (an indirect indicator for metabolism and related brain function) was measured in normal... view more...

For The First Time, Patterns Of Excitation Waves Found In Brain's Visual Processing Center
Neuroscientists have long believed that vision is processed in the brain along circuits made up of neurons, similar to the way telephone signals are transferred through separate wires from one station to another. view more (2007-08-01)
Are teenage brains really different?
Many parents are convinced that the brains of their teenage offspring are different than those of children and adults. view more (2008-03-31)
Imaging technique sheds new light on the composition of the brain of moderate cannabis users
Diffusion tensor imaging, a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging technique, could enable researchers to gain a better understanding of the effects of cannabis on the brain. view more (2006-05-08)
UW-Madison professor to coordinate US fusion science effort
A University of Wisconsin-Madison professor will be the liaison between United States plasma and fusion science researchers and a group that is building the U.S. share of ITER, an international fusion experiment that eventually could lead to an abundant, economical and environmentally benign energy source. view more (2006-05-31)
Jury still out over risks of heading a soccer ball
Heading the ball in soccer is unlikely to cause brain injury but head to head collisions might, says a leading sports physician in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-08-12)
Electric Nudge toward Self-organization
In search of materials with nonlinear optical properties Window panes and eyeglass lenses that get darker as it gets brighter are especially great in the summer. Their secret lies in optical properties that change as the light intensity changes - nonlinear optical properties. Such materials are also of interest as optoelectronic components. One... view more... (2002-03-07)
Brain-scanning technology reveals how we process brands and products
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard University use cutting-edge brain-scanning technology to explore how different regions of the brain are activated when we think about certain qualities of brands and products. view more (2006-03-20)
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)
