Shrinking brains but healthy memory-does brain matter matter?
Brain shrinkage, a common symptom of ageing when people hit their 60's, appears to have no impact on an individual's capacity to think or learn, according to ANU research. view more (2005-06-13)
MRIs show drug treatment slows brain deterioration on road to Alzheimer's disease
According to a new study, the drug donepezil measurably slows the rate of brain shrinkage in some patients with mild cognitive impairment, a pre-Alzheimer's disease condition. view more (2006-07-18)
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)
Two pathways found that lead to Alzheimer's disease
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a transitional stage between normal cognition and Alzheimer's disease, exists in two different forms. view more (2006-01-10)
Anti-angiogenesis treatment improves hearing in some NF2 patients
Treatment with the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab improved hearing and alleviated other symptoms in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). view more (2009-07-09)
Automated MRI technique assists in earlier Alzheimer's diagnosis
An automated system for measuring brain tissue with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help physicians more accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-24)
More obesity blues
Obesity is on a rampage, with the World Health Organization pegging the numbers at more than 300 million worldwide, with a billion more overweight. view more (2009-08-26)
Abstinent alcoholics can have reduced brain activation without apparent structural damage
Researchers know that heavy alcohol intake can lead to structural and functional changes in the brain, but have not been able to establish direct links between these changes and specific cognitive functions. view more (2007-08-28)
Animal study identifies potential treatment for Huntington's disease
MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegererative Disorders (MIND) researchers have identified a compound that may lead to a treatment that could protect against the effects of Huntington's Disease (HD). view more (2007-10-09)
Physical fitness improves spatial memory, increases size of brain structure
When it comes to the hippocampus, a brain structure vital to certain types of memory, size matters. Numerous studies have shown that bigger is usually better. view more (2009-02-25)
Tiny but adaptable wasp brains show ability to alter their architecture
For an animal that has a brain about the size of two grains of sand, a lot of plasticity seems to be packed into the head of the tropical paper wasp Polybia aequatorialis. view more (2009-10-15)
Hormone inhibitor promising for hard-to-treat prostate cancer
For prostate cancer patients whose tumors have continued to grow despite medical or surgical castration, a new drug candidate that inhibits production of male hormones anywhere in the body is showing promise in early trials. view more (2007-07-09)
Longer anthracycline therapy reduces heart failure in adult cancer patients
Stretching out a dose of chemotherapy over six or more hours may reduce the risk of heart problems caused by certain commonly used cancer drugs. view more (2006-11-27)
Gulf War veterans display abnormal brain response to specific chemicals
A new study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers is the first to pinpoint damage inside the brains of veterans suffering from Gulf War syndrome - a finding that links the illness to chemical exposures and may lead to diagnostic tests and treatments. view more (2009-03-23)
Paradoxical Alzheimer's finding may shed new light on memory loss
Do you remember the seventh song that played on your radio on the way to work yesterday? Most of us don't, thanks to a normal forgetting process that is constantly "cleaning house" - culling inconsequential information from our brains. view more (2008-03-13)
VEGF Trap shows activity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer
Preliminary results of a randomized, international Phase II trial of VEGF Trap (aflibercept) show activity in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who had received three or four prior chemotherapy regimens and had become resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy agents. view more (2007-06-04)
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)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
Shrinkage of prostate led to overestimation of cancer risk in trial
Reanalysis of data from the first long-term randomized trial of a chemopreventive agent for prostate cancer shows that the excess prevalence of high-grade prostate cancer in the drug-treated group may be attributable to shrinkage of the prostate at the time of biopsy. view more (2007-09-13)
Cell death in sparrow brains may provide clues in age-related human diseases
A remarkable change takes place in the brains of tiny songbirds every year, and some day the mechanism controlling that change may help researchers develop treatments for age-related degenerative diseases of the brain such as Parkinson's and dementia. view more (2007-09-18)
