Healthy older brains not significantly smaller than younger brains, new imaging study shows
The belief that healthy older brains are substantially smaller than younger brains may stem from studies that did not screen out people whose undetected, slowly developing brain disease was killing off cells in key areas, according to new research. As a result, previous findings may have overestimated atrophy and underestimated normal size for the... view more... (2009-09-08)
New understanding of human sacrifice in early Peru

Fitness counteracts cognitive decline from hormone-replacement therapy
Women pondering hormone-replacement therapy also should consider regular exercise. A new study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign suggests that being physically fit offsets cognitive declines attributed to long-term therapy. view more (2006-01-25)
PREOPERATIVE RADIOTHERAPY IMPROVES OUTCOME IN RECTAL CANCER (PP 1285, 1291)
Preoperative radiotherapy reduces risk of local recurrence and death from rectal cancer, conclude authors of a systematic overview published in this week's issue of The Lancet. There are different opinions about when it is best to give radiotherapy for rectal cancer. In Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and some other European countries, radiotherapy... view more...

UCLA scientists report promising new molecular approach to fighting schizophrenia
In new research that helps to reveal the nature of schizophrenia at the cellular level, UCLA scientists report the discovery of unique DNA sequence variations associated with increased risk for schizophrenia. view more (2005-11-17)
Electronic tongue detects mold
Not only can an electronic tongue monitor the prevalence and growth of microorganisms, it can also sense the difference between various forms of fungi and bacteria. This is shown in a dissertation by Charlotte Söderström submitted at Linköping University. An objective of the project as a whole is to be able to make use of an... view more... (2003-05-20)
'Bycatch' whaling a growing threat to coastal whales
Scientists are warning that a new form of unregulated whaling has emerged along the coastlines of Japan and South Korea, where the commercial sale of whales killed as fisheries "bycatch" is threatening coastal stocks of minke whales and other protected species. view more (2009-06-24)
'Fetal' neurons play role in adult brain
Subplate neurons - once thought to die after directing the wiring of the cerebral cortex or gray matter- remain in the white matter of the adult brain in small numbers and maintain activity, communicating with other neurons in the brain said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Alabama at Birmingham in a report that... view more...

Noise pollution negatively affects woodland bird communities, says CU-Boulder study
A new University of Colorado at Boulder study shows the strongest evidence yet that noise pollution negatively influences bird populations, findings with implications for the fate of ecological communities situated amid growing urban clamor. view more (2009-07-24)
Training on virtual 'patient' improves carotid angiography skills
Cardiologists can learn to perform risky catheter procedures such as carotid angiography on a virtual patient simulator, rather than on real patients, according to a new study in the May 2, 2006, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2006-04-28)
Coating copies microscopic biological surfaces
Someday, your car might have the metallic finish of some insects or the deep black of a butterfly's wing, and the reflectors might be patterned on the nanostructure of a fly's eyes. view more (2008-09-18)
Biologists solve mystery of black wolves
Why do nearly half of North American wolves have black coats while European wolves are overwhelmingly gray or white? The surprising answer, according to teams of biologists and molecular geneticists from Stanford University, UCLA, Sweden, Canada and Italy, is that the black coats are the result of historical matings between black dogs and wild... view more...

Researcher discovers pathway plants use to fight back against pathogens
Plants are not only smart, but they also wage a good fight, according to a University of Missouri biochemist. Previous studies have shown that plants can sense attacks by pathogens and activate their defenses. view more (2008-04-01)
What's a little mold? Why consumers have different freshness standards at home

Pyramids give batteries a longer life
A way of increasing battery life in devices such as laptop computers, personal TVs and camcorders is reported today in the Institute of Physics Journal, Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Researchers at the University of Michigan and the National Taiwan University, have developed a film which increases the display brightness by 100... view more... (2000-06-22)
Better access to cool caps improves outcomes, lowers cost of treating asphyxia in newborns
When newborns suffering from a form of asphyxia at birth have better access to head cooling devices, fewer will face a lifetime of debilitating and costly health complications, according to researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). view more (2008-01-08)
Healing potential discovered in everyday human brain cells
University of Florida researchers have shown ordinary human brain cells may share the prized qualities of self-renewal and adaptability normally associated with stem cells. view more (2006-08-17)
Study finds government advisories on fish consumption & mercury may do more harm than good
