MIT researcher presents new view of how the cortex forms
A leading neuroscientist at MIT and one from the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) report in the Nov. 4 special issue of Science dedicated to the brain that the controversy is over: The "protomap" and "protocortex" theories of brain development are dead. view more (2005-11-14)
Ocean-drilling expedition cites new evidence related to origin and evolution of seismogenic faults
New research about what triggers earthquakes, authored by Michael Strasser of Bremen University, Germany, with colleagues from the USA, Japan, China, France, and Germany, will appear in the Aug. 16 2009 issue of Nature Geoscience. view more (2009-08-18)
UNH Researcher Uncovering Mysteries Of Memory By Studying Clever Bird
Keeping track of one set of keys is difficult enough, but imagine having to remember the locations of thousands of sets of keys. Do you use landmarks to remember where you put them? Do you have a mental map of their locations? view more (2006-10-11)
Ghosts found in space
For Halloween this year, watch out for some real ghosts cruising through space, destined never to `cross over` to the other side. These ghosts are scientific satellites that have reached the end of their mission and experts have turned off all their instruments. Other satellites cross over into the Earth`s atmosphere to be burned up on reentry,... view more... (2002-10-31)
Portuguese coastal levels always on the rise
Of a total of close to 80 percent of the coastal zones in the world that are undergoing a process of erosion, the Portuguese shore is one of those most affected, especially the zone between Ovar and Espinho. Facts such as the rise in the sea level, provoked by the climate changes that overheat the planet, are the origin of the problem, which is... view more... (2002-06-18)
Living coral reefs provide better protection from tsunami waves
Healthy coral reefs provide their adjacent coasts with substantially more protection from destructive tsunami waves than do unhealthy or dead reefs, a Princeton University study suggests. view more (2006-12-19)
Echo-sounding Techniques For Studying The "capturability" Of Tuna
In tropical oceans, it would be useful to know, for a given ecosystem, the distribution of tuna, which are vital resources for many countries. As part of a research programme, Ecotap (1) conducted in the French Polynesian Exclusive Economic Zone, scientists have used an acoustic probe to study directly and simultaneously the distribution of... view more...

Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)
Prehypertension triples heart attack risk
People with prehypertension are at much higher risk of heart attack and heart disease, according to a study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2005-08-05)
Love bites
Biology PhD student Gill Horne and her supervisor, mosquito expert Dr Angela Priestman, have been studying the mating behaviour of mosquitoes in special hotrooms at the University's School of Sciences. view more (2000-01-18)
Climate changes locked inside microfossils
Fossilised remains of sea creatures are commonly found in rocks in the mountains of the Basque Country. So, at some time in the past, Euskal Herria was under the sea. For example, during the Palaeocene period, some 65-55 million years ago. The region was then subtropical, and similar in appearance to the Australian Coral Reef. view more (2004-03-04)
Low oxygen in coastal waters impairs fish reproduction
Low oxygen levels in coastal waters interfere with fish reproduction by disrupting the fishes' hormones, a marine scientist from The University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute has found. view more (2007-08-29)
Ocean's 'twilight zone' plays important role in climate change
A major study has shed new light on the dim layer of the ocean called the "twilight zone"—where mysterious processes affect the ocean's ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide accumulating in our atmosphere. view more (2007-04-27)
Genetic background to severe urinary tract infections
If you sit on cold boulders or forget to wear your woollen underwear, you can develop a urinary tract infection. view more (2007-09-05)
Iron particles and MRI could replace biopsies to track stem cell therapy and deploy stents
In a series of experiments in animals, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully used a technique that tracks mesenchymal stem cells via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the progress of the cells in repairing tissue scarred by heart attack. view more (2005-12-05)
No more squashed hedgehogs?
Wildlife road deaths are preventable according to the results of a survey carried out by The Mammal Society that are released today. Chairman of The Mammal Society, Professor Stephen Harris said "The Mammal Society's National Road Death Survey provides us with the information we need to reduce mammal deaths on roads. It shows that the number... view more... (2002-05-29)
The next great earthquake
The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and resulting tsunami are now infamous for the damage they caused, but at the time many scientists believed this area was unlikely to create a quake of such magnitude. view more (2007-03-23)
Wobbly planets could reveal Earth-like moons
Moons outside our Solar System with the potential to support life have just become much easier to detect, thanks to research by an astronomer at University College London (UCL). view more (2008-12-12)
Elephantnose fish 'see' with their chin
Originating in Central Africa, Peters' elephantnose fish (Gnathonemus petersii), finds its bearings by means of weak electrical fields. Scientists from the University of Bonn have now been able to show how well this works. view more (2007-08-22)
Oxygen-saturated blood reduces levels of damaged heart tissue following a heart attack
Results of a clinical trial published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions demonstrate that an infusion of blood that is "supersaturated" with oxygen (SS02) can reduce the amount of damaged heart muscle immediately following a life-threatening heart attack. view more (2009-09-16)
