Aggressors Need Dopamine, and Victims Require Serotnin
The Novosibirsk researchers have managed to establish connection between mice's aggressive behavior, biochemical modifications in their brain and the genes that cause those modifications. view more (2004-12-06)
Schizophrenia linked to signaling problems in new brain study
Schizophrenia could be caused by faulty signalling in the brain, according to new research published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. view more (2009-03-03)
Synchronous neuronal firing may underlie Parkinson's disease
In a finding that contradicts current theories behind Parkinson's disease, neuroscientists at Duke University Medical Center have discovered in mice that critical nerve cells fire all at the same time and thus overwhelm the brain's ability to control the body's movements. view more (2006-10-19)
New Study Shows that Fetal Cells Transplanted into the Brain to Treat Parkinson's Disease May Not Function Long Term
Neurons grafted into the brain of a patient with Parkinson's disease fourteen years ago have developed Lewy body pathology, the defining pathology for the disease, according to research by Jeffrey H. Kordower, PhD, and associates and published in the April 6 issue of Nature Medicine. view more (2008-04-07)
Nicotine Found to Protect Against Parkinson's-Like Brain Damage
New research suggests that nicotine treatment protects against the same type of brain damage that occurs in Parkinson's disease. view more (2006-08-08)
Researchers identify protein pathway involved in Parkinson disease development
Scientists have found a novel signaling pathway in cells that is altered by genetic mutations recently identified in Parkinson disease development. view more (2007-06-19)
Genes may make some people more motivated to eat, perhaps overeat
Science has found one likely contributor to the way that some folks eat to live and others live to eat. Researchers at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, have found that people with genetically lower dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps make behaviors and substances more rewarding, find food to be more reinforcing than... view more...

Singing to females makes male birds' brains happy
The melodious singing of birds has been long appreciated by humans, and has often been thought to reflect a particularly positive emotional state of the singer. view more (2008-10-03)
Delayed-release stimulant used to treat ADHD may be less subject to abuse
A team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has found that a delayed-release stimulant used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be less likely to be abused than other stimulant drugs. view more (2006-03-01)
Lessons from yeast: A possible cure for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn in these dopaminergic nerve cells. view more (2008-08-15)
Specific regions of brain implicated in anorexia nervosa, finds Univ. of Pittsburgh study
Just why those with anorexia nervosa are driven to be excessively thin and seem unaware of the seriousness of their condition could be due to over-activity of a chemical system found in a region deep inside the brain, a University of Pittsburgh study suggests. view more (2005-07-07)
New perspective on brain function now possible
A newly started research collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and AstraZeneca has already generated results. For the first time, the conditions have been created to study one of the brain's most important neurotransmission systems - the glutamate system - in living people. view more (2007-05-30)
Teens with deletion syndrome confirm gene's role in psychosis
Youth with this genetic chromosomal deletion syndrome already had a nearly 30-fold higher-than-normal risk of schizophrenia, but those who also had one of two common versions of the suspect gene had worse symptoms. view more (2005-10-24)
Repeated methamphetamine use causes long-term adaptations in brains of mice, researchers find
Repeatedly stimulating the mouse brain with methamphetamine depresses important areas of the brain, and those changes can only be undone by re-introducing the drug, according to research at the University of Washington and other institutions. view more (2008-04-10)
First look: Princeton researchers peek into deepest recesses of human brain
A team of scientists from Princeton University has devised a new experimental technique that produces some of the best functional images ever taken of the human brainstem, the most primitive area of the brain. view more (2008-02-29)
Controlling our brain's perception of emotional events
Research performed by Nicole Lauzon and Dr. Steven Laviolette of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at The University of Western Ontario has found key processes in the brain that control the emotional significance of our experiences and how we form memories of them. view more (2009-04-21)
Study reveals how ADHD drugs work in brain
Although millions depend on medications such as Ritalin to quell symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), scientists have struggled to pinpoint how the drugs work in the brain. view more (2006-06-26)
Early environmental exposure may accelerate age-related neurodegeneration
Exposure to iron during the first weeks of life in combination with exposure later in life to a common herbicide may contribute to the subsequent degeneration of brain cells associated with the onset of Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study in mice. view more (2007-06-28)
Brain protein central to both Parkinson's, drug addiction identified
Scientists have identified a protein that appears not only to be central to the process that causes Parkinson's disease but could also play a role in muting the high from methamphetamine and other addictive drugs. view more (2009-04-30)
Restricting diet may reverse early-stage Parkinson's disease
A new Oregon Health & Science University and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center study suggests that early-stage Parkinson's disease patients who lower their calorie intake may boost levels of an essential brain chemical lost from the neurodegenerative disorder. view more (2005-11-16)
