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)
Does being overweight in old age cause memory problems?
While obesity has been shown to contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, being overweight in old age does not lead to memory problems. view more (2007-09-20)
Costs of antidepressants could have funded effective alternatives
Some of the costs of prescribing antidepressant drugs over the last decade could have been used to deliver psychological treatments of proven effectiveness, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2005-03-16)
Take this, it could improve your memory
Taking herbs and other substances to improve thinking, memory and mood is a centuries old practice, and is the subject of a number of poster presentations at The British Psychological Society’s Annual Conference, at the Hilton Hotel, Blackpool. The researchers, based at the Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit, University of Northumbria,... view more... (2002-02-27)
Motor skill learning may be enhanced by mild brain stimulation
People who received a mild electrical current to a motor control area of the brain were significantly better able to learn and perform a complex motor task than those in control groups. The findings could hold promise for enhancing rehabilitation for people with traumatic brain injury, stroke and other conditions. view more (2009-01-20)
Stem cells provide new tool for studying disease and identifying ALS drugs
Results of two studies funded by Project A.L.S. and appearing in today's advance online publication of Nature Neuroscience demonstrate that embryonic stem cells may provide a new tool for studying disease mechanisms and for identifying drugs to slow ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. view more (2007-04-17)
Depression may increase Alzheimer's risk in people with memory problems
People with memory problems who are depressed are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who aren't depressed, according to a new UCLA study. view more (2009-06-16)
Motor proteins may be vehicles for drug delivery
Specialized motor proteins that transport cargo within cells could be turned into nanoscale machines for drug delivery, according to bioengineers. view more (2009-03-23)
Growth factor stimulates rapid extension of key motor neurons in brain
A growth factor known to be important for the survival of many types of cells stimulates rapid extension of corticospinal motor neurons - critical brain cells that connect the cerebral cortex with the spinal cord and that die in motor neuron diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). view more (2006-11-06)
Preoperative brain mapping alters tumor surgery
By pinpointing the motor and language areas of the brain with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), surgeons can target brain tumors more effectively while reducing the risk of damaging important cognitive and motor processes, according to a study appearing in the September issue of Radiology. view more (2006-08-29)
Diabetes may be associated with increased risk of mild cognitive impairment
Individuals with diabetes may have a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment, a condition that involves difficulties with thinking and learning and may be an intermediate step toward Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-04-10)
Low dose aspirin does not protect women against cognitive decline
Taking low dose aspirin does not protect older women against cognitive decline, finds a large study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-04-27)
Molecular motor works by detecting minute changes in force
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that the activity of a specific family of nanometer-sized molecular motors called myosin-I is regulated by force. The motor puts tension on cellular springs that allow vibrations to be detected within the body. view more (2008-07-10)
Mouse model of Parkinson's reproduces nonmotor symptoms
The classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease involve tremor, stiffness and slow movements. Over the last decade, neurologists have been paying greater attention to non-motor symptoms, such as digestive and sleep problems, loss of sense of smell and depression. view more (2009-06-23)
Researchers create the first thermal nanomotor in the world
Researchers from the UAB Research Park have created the first nanomotor that is propelled by changes in temperature. A carbon nanotube is capable of transporting cargo and rotating like a conventional motor, but is a million times smaller than the head of a needle. view more (2008-04-16)
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)
Alzheimer's disease drug treats traumatic brain injury, report GUMC researchers
The destructive cellular pathways activated in Alzheimer's disease are also triggered following traumatic brain injury, say researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-07-13)
Memory lane: Older persons with more schooling spend fewer years with cognitive loss
Those with at least a high school education spend more of their older years without cognitive loss - including the effects of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia -- but die sooner after the loss becomes apparent, reveals a new study appearing in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of Aging and Health. view more (2008-05-13)
Discovery will assist treatment and research into fatal brain disorder
Research using newly developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology could soon allow clinicians to confirm Huntington's disease before symptoms appear in people who have the gene for the fatal brain disease. view more (2008-06-17)
Are Depressed Patients Exploited By The Drug Industry?
A study published in the October issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry by an Italian group of investigators headed by Professor Giovanni A. Fava (University of Bologna) suggests, that with appropriate psychosocial interventions, half of the patients with recurrent depression could be still well and drug free six years after termination of... view more...
