How mirror neurons allow us to learn and socialize by going through the motions in the head
The old adage that we can only learn how to do something by trying it ourselves may have to be revised in the light of recent discoveries in neuroscience. view more (2008-12-19)
UCLA researchers show that culture influences brain cells
A thumb's up for "I'm good." The rubbing of a pointed forefinger at another for "shame on you." The infamous and ubiquitous middle finger salute for-well, you know. view more (2007-07-18)
Humans do not understand mirror reflections, say researchers
Psychologists at the University of Liverpool have found that people still find it difficult to understand how mirrors work. view more (2005-12-22)
The musician in the mirror
A new imaging study shows that when we learn a new action with associated sounds, the brain quickly makes links between regions responsible for performing the action and those associated with the sound. view more (2007-01-15)
Space age technology benefits industry
They have achieved a new breakthrough in X-ray technology with the use of a novel laboratory instrument which they plan to develop. view more (1999-12-15)
As robots learn to imitate
Can robots learn to communicate by studying and imitating humans' gestures? That's what MIRROR's researchers aimed to find out by studying how infants and monkeys learn complex acts such as grasping and transferring it to robots. view more (2004-12-22)
UCLA imaging study of children with autism finds broken mirror neuron system
New imaging research at UCLA detailed Dec. 4 as an advance online publication of the journal Nature Neuroscience shows children with autism have virtually no activity in a key part of the brain's mirror neuron system while imitating and observing emotions. view more (2005-12-05)
NASA's largest space telescope mirror will see deeper into space
When scientists are looking into space, the more they can see, the easier it is to piece together the puzzle of the cosmos. The James Webb Space Telescope's mirror blanks have now been constructed. When polished and assembled, together they will form a mirror whose area is over seven times larger than the Hubble Telescope's mirror. view more (2007-02-07)
Larvae shun the light
Drosophila larvae avoid light during the foraging stage of their development. Research published in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience shows that both 5-HT (serotonergic) and corazonergic neurons have a role in regulating this behavior. view more (2009-06-23)
Left-handed molecules make better drugs – bacteria are more efficient drug factories
Using bacteria as factories to produce drugs could be safer, cheaper and more efficient than traditional chemical manufacturing methods, experts heard today (Wednesday 12 September 2001) during the bi-annual meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of East Anglia. “Chiral drugs are important in the treatment of many... view more...

Molecules wrestle for supremacy in creation of superstructures
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how mirror-image molecules gain control over each other and dictate the physical state of superstructures. view more (2009-08-14)
Another step toward a liquid telescope on the moon
An international team including researcher Ermanno Borra, from Universite Laval's Center for Optics, Photonics, and Laser, has taken another step toward building a liquid telescope on the moon. view more (2007-06-21)
Neural signal that helps wire up brain's movement circuit identified
Scientists from Imperial College London and King`s College London have identified a molecule that helps to wire up the neural circuitry responsible for controlling the movement of muscle. Writing today in the journal Neuron, the researchers describe how the signalling protein named WNT-3 directs specific neurons during embryonic development to... view more... (2002-09-10)
Solar Energy: Electricity Out Of A Helicopter Turbine
The mountains of Armenia seem to have been created for electric power stations working on solar energy. The scientists at the Radio Physical Research Institute have chosen a ground on Aragats mountain, which is 40 km to the west of Yerevan and situated 1750m above sea level. Southern mountain Sun is a good source of cheap energy. It rises 73... view more... (2001-08-24)
The Most Rigid Telescope
The scientists from NPO Astrofizika, have designed a terrestrial telescope, which has no match all over the world. Fundamentally new technical solutions ensure that a unique telescope with the mirror of 25 meters in diameter is able to investigate previously invisible celestial objects of up to the 29-th magnitude.... view more...

Fibromyalgia pain caused by neuron mismatch, suggests study
The unexplained pain experienced by patients with fibromyalgia is the result of a mismatch between sensory and motor systems, new research suggests. view more (2007-10-31)
Social imitation in neonatal monkeys
Humans do it. Chimps do it. Why shouldn't monkeys do it, too? Mimicry exists throughout the animal kingdom, but imitation with a purpose-matching one's behavior to others' as a form of social learning-has been seen only in great apes. view more (2006-09-05)
New brain cells listen before they talk
Newly created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival before they can communicate with existing neighboring cells-a finding that has important implications for the use of adult neural stem cells to replace brain cells lost by trauma or neurodegeneration, Yale School of Medicine... view more...

Scientists produce neurons from human skin
Scientists from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have succeeded in producing neurons in vitro using stem cells extracted from adult human skin. view more (2007-02-23)
