Brain defect implicated in early schizophrenia
In the first functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of its kind, neurologists and psychiatrists at Columbia University have identified an area of the brain involved in the earliest stages of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. view more (2009-09-08)
Building memories with actin
Memories aren't made of actin filaments. But their assembly is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synapse sensitivity that researchers think helps to lay down memories. view more (2009-07-13)
Omega-3s boost grey matter, findings may explain why omega-3s seem to improve mood
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon, are associated with increased grey matter volume in areas of the brain commonly linked to mood and behavior according to a University of Pittsburgh study. view more (2007-03-07)
Adult brain cells rediscover their inner child
You may not be able to relive your youth, but part of your brain can. Johns Hopkins researchers have found that newly made nerves in an adult brain's learning center experience a one-month period when they are just as active as the nerves in a developing child. view more (2007-05-24)
Asleep or awake we retain memory
Sleeping helps to reinforce what we've learned. And brain scans have revealed that cerebral activity associated with learning new information is replayed during sleep. view more (2006-03-28)
Cerebrospinal fluid shows Alzheimer's disease deterioration much earlier
It is possible to determine which patients run a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and the dementia associated with it, even in patients with minimal memory impairment. This has been shown by recent research at the Sahlgrenska Academy. view more (2009-06-18)
Protein linked to mental retardation controls synapse maturation, plasticity, CSHL team finds
A team of neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has demonstrated the mechanism by which a signaling protein found throughout the brain controls the maturation and strength of excitatory synapses, the tiny gaps across which the majority of neurons communicate. view more (2009-06-02)
Boosting key protein in brain could improve seizure treatment, Stanford study finds
A naturally occurring protein in our brains could be the basis for a more promising epilepsy treatment-without the nasty side effects caused by many of the current medications. view more (2006-08-16)
Montreal researchers probe the genetic basis of memory
A group of Montreal researchers has discovered that GCN2, a protein in cells that inhibits the conversion of new information into long-term memory, may be a master regulator of the switch from short-term to long-term memory. view more (2005-08-31)
