Is Body Mass Index A Risk Factor For Road Traffic Injuries?
Drivers who are overweight or underweight are at greater risk of suffering an injury in a road accident than people of average size, according to a study of deaths and injuries from motor vehicle accidents in New Zealand. The study appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited in the Department of Social... view more... (2003-04-25)
MIT engineers show how tiny cell proteins generate force to 'walk'
MIT researchers have shown how a cell motor protein exerts the force to move, enabling functions such as cell division. view more (2008-11-25)
Study finds how brain remembers single events
Single events account for many of our most vivid memories - a marriage proposal, a wedding toast, a baby's birth. Until a recent UC Irvine discovery, however, scientists knew little about what happens inside the brain that allows you to remember such events. view more (2009-03-19)
Neurons found to be similar to Electoral College
A tiny neuron is a very complicated structure. Its complex network of dendrites, axons and synapses is constantly dealing with information, deciding whether or not to send a nerve impulse, to drive a certain action. view more (2009-09-15)
How the brain handles surprise, good and bad
Whether it's a mugger or a friend who jumps out of the bushes, you're still surprised. But your response-to flee or to hug-must be very different. view more (2007-09-20)
Researchers find molecule that inhibits regrowth of spinal nerve cells
A molecule that helps the body's motor nerve cells grow along proper paths during embryonic development also plays a major role in inhibiting spinal-cord neurons from regenerating after injury, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2005-07-12)
Cambridge led team discovers gene mutation which prevents carriers from feeling pain
Researchers have discovered a gene mutation which prevents the otherwise healthy carriers from sensing pain, after studying three related families with a rare genetic disorder in northern Pakistan. view more (2006-12-14)
How memories are made, and recalled
What makes a memory? Single cells in the brain, for one thing. For the first time, scientists at UCLA and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have recorded individual brain cells in the act of calling up a memory, thus revealing where in the brain a specific memory is stored, and how it is able to recreate it. view more (2008-09-08)
Gladstone researchers identify new drug target for Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease have identified a potential new way to stop brain cell death related to Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-12-02)
Researchers identify protein pathway involved in Parkinson disease development
Scientists have found a novel signaling pathway in cells that is altered by genetic mutations recently identified in Parkinson disease development. view more (2007-06-19)
Study discovers link between increased white matter and poor motor skills in children with autism
A study published in the August issue of the journal Brain demonstrates, for the first time, an association between increased white matter volume and functional impairment in children with autism. view more (2007-07-31)
New key brain target of fat hormone
Researchers have identified a new area of the brain that responds to the fat hormone leptin in regulating body weight and energy expenditure. view more (2006-01-19)
Silencing the cause of mad cow disease
BSE (more commonly known as mad cow disease) and CJD, which is a related disease in humans that can occur spontaneously, be inherited, or be acquired (in some cases probably from cows with BSE), are fatal neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2006-12-04)
New study reveals handwriting is real problem for children with autism
Handwriting skills are crucial for success in school, communication, and building children's self-esteem. view more (2009-11-10)
New treatment possibilities for fatal genetic disease
Researchers at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have opened up new treatment possibilities for Huntington's disease by proving a scientific theory incorrect. view more (2007-03-30)
Study ties 'new' cell-death mechanism to developmental and degenerative brain disorders
An international research team has provided the first conclusive evidence that neurodevelopmental disorders such as mental retardation and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and ataxias can be caused, at least in part, by specific gene defects that interfere with the electrical impulses of rapid-firing... view more...

Fuel From Natural Gas
The scientists from the Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis, Russian Academy of Sciences, won Golden Medal and a bonus grant at the 49th World Exhibition of Invention, Research and Industrial Innovation ("Eureka") in Brussels for their work "Synthesis of dimethyl ether". The dateless dream of several generations of chemists has finally... view more... (2002-02-08)
Sensitivity to antidepressants linked with TrkB-mediated neural proliferation
Scientists have unveiled a functional link between production of new neurons and the effectiveness of antidepressants (ADs) in an animal model. The study, published by Cell Press in the August 14 issue of the journal Neuron, provides exciting insight into a mechanism that might underlie a poor response to antidepressive medications for anxiety or... view more...

First international gene screen for typical ALS is on track
The largest-scale search for genes that underlie sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of the disease, has crossed its first hurdle with the successful compiling of genetic information on more than 1,000 patients and controls. view more (2006-11-29)
Prozac improves learning and memory in fatal brain disease
Howard Florey Institute scientists in Melbourne have found that fluoxetine (commonly marketed as Prozac®) not only improves depression in Huntington's disease, but also improves learning and memory. view more (2005-10-07)
