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)
Fishing for the Origins of Genome Complexity
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided the fields of evolutionary genomics and evolutionary developmental biology, popularly known as evo devo, for two years. view more (2005-12-16)
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)
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)
University of Alberta researchers discover hummingbird secret
University of Alberta researchers have pinpointed a section in the tiny hummingbird's brain that may be responsible for its unique ability to stay stationary mid-air and hover. view more (2006-11-30)
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)
Memory loss linked to common sleep disorder
For the first time, UCLA researchers have discovered that people with sleep apnea show tissue loss in brain regions that help store memory. view more (2008-06-11)
World-famous cancer specialist links hormones to organ growth
New work from internationally renowned cancer specialist Dr Judah Folkman indicates that organ size can be controlled by hormones. This important new finding may have implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including endometriosis, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and prostate conditions. view more (2000-03-07)
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)
Drugs to inhibit blood vessel growth show promise in rat model of deadly brain tumor
In a landmark study, Medical College of Wisconsin researchers in Milwaukee report that drugs used to inhibit a specific fatty acid in rat brains with glioblastoma-like tumors not only reduced new blood vessel growth and tumor size dramatically, but also prolonged survival. The study is the featured cover story of the August, 2008 Journal of... view more... (2008-08-22)
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)
How size matters
The beauty of nature is partly due to the uniformity of leaf and flower size in individual plants, and scientists have discovered how plants arrive at these aesthetic proportions. view more (2007-12-13)
Researchers gain insight into why brain areas fail to work together in autism
Researchers have found in two studies that autism may involve a lack of connections and coordination in separate areas of the brain. view more (2006-07-13)
FSU anthropologist confirms 'Hobbit' indeed a separate species
After the skeletal remains of an 18,000-year-old, Hobbit-sized human were discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003, some scientists thought that the specimen must have been a pygmy or a microcephalic — a human with an abnormally small skull. view more (2007-01-30)
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)
