UT Southwestern researchers discover brain's memory 'buffer' in single cells
Individual nerve cells in the front part of the brain can hold traces of memories on their own for as long as a minute and possibly longer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2009-01-26)
New drug reverses effects of sleep deprivation on brain
Research in monkeys suggests that a new drug can temporarily improve performance and reverse the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain. view more (2005-08-23)
Unusual three-drug combo inhibits growth of aggressive tumors
An experimental anti-cancer regimen combined a diuretic, a Parkinson's disease medication and a drug ordinarily used to reverse the effect of sedatives. view more (2006-09-08)
Researchers find potential treatment for Huntington's disease
Investigators at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham), the University of British Columbia's Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics and the University of California, San Diego have found that normal synaptic activity in nerve cells (the electrical activity in the brain that allows nerve cells to communicate with one another)... view more...

Alcoholism-treatment medication acamprosate may help abstinent alcoholics sleep better
Alcoholics generally don't sleep well. Nor does abstinence improve the situation much. In fact, sleep difficulties during alcohol abstinence may be responsible for a relapse to alcoholism as individuals attempt to self medicate their sleeping problems. view more (2006-08-28)
Taking a cue from breath fresheners, researcher develops new method for taste testing
Using the same concept behind commercial breath-freshening strips, a Temple University researcher has developed a new, easier method for clinical taste testing. view more (2008-06-10)
Newborn neurons like to hang with the 'in' crowd
Like any new kid on the block that tries to fit in, newborn brain cells need to find their place within the existing network of neurons. view more (2007-05-08)
Success or failure of antidepressant citalopram predicted by gene variation
A variation in a gene called GRIK4 appears to make people with depression more likely to respond to the medication citalopram (Celexa) than are people without the variation, a study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health, has found. view more (2007-08-01)
Memantine appears effective and safe in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease
Memantine, a drug approved for the treatment of Alzheimer disease, appears safe and effective in patients with moderate to severe cases of the condition, according to a study in the January issue of Archives of Neurology. view more (2006-01-10)
Benefit of memantine in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease not proven
There is no scientific proof that patients with moderate or severe Alzheimer's disease benefit from drugs containing the agent memantine. view more (2009-10-29)
Marijuana compound may help stop diabetic retinopathy
A compound found in marijuana won't make you high but it may help keep your eyes healthy if you're a diabetic, researchers say. view more (2006-02-28)
Astrocytes and synaptic plasticity
By mopping up excess neurotrophic factor from neuronal synapses, astrocytes may finely tune synaptic transmission to affect processes such as learning and memory, say Bergami et al. view more (2008-10-13)

Blocking the nerve receptor EP1 in mouse models reduces brain damage caused by stroke
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered how to block a molecular switch that triggers brain damage caused by the lack of oxygen during a stroke. view more (2005-12-21)
Inert gas may help stop damaged nerve cells from dying
Scientists from Imperial College London have discovered that xenon gas could help in protecting damaged nerve cells. The research, published today in Anesthesiology, shows that xenon, an inert gas, acts as a neuroprotectant, helping to protect damaged nerve cells from dying. Based upon pre-clinical trials, researchers believe it could have human... view more... (2002-05-29)
UNC researchers find MSG use linked to obesity
eople who use monosodium glutamate, or MSG, as a flavor enhancer in their food are more likely than people who don't use it to be overweight or obese even though they have the same amount of physical activity and total calorie intake, according to a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health study published this month in... view more...

The Lancet Neurology October Issue
Mental health bill or public order-cause for concern Can we predict whether an individual with a severe personality disorder will commit murder? Should compulsory treatment in the community be introduced? In a draft mental health bill, which was under consultation until September 16, the UK government has proposed a number of changes that have... view more... (2002-09-13)
Weill Cornell Team Discovers How Brain's Own tPA Helps Regulate Blood Flow to Neurons
The human brain contains its own store of a powerful enzyme (and stroke drug) called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which appears to be a key regulator of blood flow to brain cells, a team at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City reports. view more (2008-01-18)
Roots of epilepsy may lie in oft-ignored brain cells
Star-shaped brain cells that are often overlooked by doctors and scientists as mere support cells appear to play a key role in the development of epilepsy. view more (2005-08-15)
