Newborn brains grow vision and movement regions first
The regions of the brain that control vision and other sensory information grow dramatically in the first few months following birth, while the area that controls abstract thought experiences very little growth during the same period, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found.   view more (2007-02-09)

Powerful mold-inhibiting bacteria patented
Bacteria that produce lactic acid have been used for thousands of years to preserve food. Some lactic acid bacteria also produce several other mold-inhibiting substances and are therefore of special interest to agriculture and the foodstuffs industry. This is demonstrated in a dissertation by Jörgen Sjögren from the Swedish University of... view more... (2005-04-08)

Scientists to hand "crisis-hit" European fisheries a lifeline
Scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne are leading an international programme aimed at handing European fisheries a lifeline. The University has just signed a Euro 1.5m. contract with the European Union for the development of a fisheries management framework that includes consideration of the wider ecosystem. It will also involve... view more... (2001-11-26)

Lithium Builds Gray Matter in Bipolar Brains, UCLA Study Shows

Water-diffusion technology identifies brain regions damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD.   view more (2008-07-21)
