Neurotransmitters in biopolymers stimulate nerve regeneration
Research reported December 11 in the journal Advanced Materials describes a potentially promising strategy for encouraging the regeneration of damaged central nervous system cells known as neurons. view more (2007-12-12)
Enzyme may be a key to Alzheimer's-related cell death
A Purdue University researcher has discovered that the amount of an enzyme present in neurons can affect the mechanism thought to cause cell death in Alzheimer's disease patients and may have applications for other diseases such as stroke and heart attack. view more (2009-10-08)
Researchers develop targeted approach to pain management
Imagine an epidural or a shot of Novocain that doesn't paralyze your legs or make you numb, yet totally blocks your pain. view more (2007-10-04)
Genetics of ALS progression
An upcoming paper from Drs. Hidenori Ichijo and Hideki Nishitoh (The University of Tokyo) and colleagues lends new and valuable insight into the genetics of ALS. view more (2008-06-02)
Astrocytes and synaptic plasticity
By mopping up excess neurotrophic factor from neuronal synapses, astrocytes may finely tune synaptic transmission to affect processes such as learning and memory, say Bergami et al. view more (2008-10-13)

Dynamic molecular mechanism to keep brain activity stable
In the brain, many types of synaptic proteins are spatio-temporally regulated to maintain synaptic activity at a constant level. view more (2009-07-13)
OHSU discovery sheds light into how stem cells become brain cells
Researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have discovered one key gene that appears to control how stem cells become various kinds of brain cells. view more (2005-12-15)
Smell experience during critical period alters brain
Unlike the circuitry of the visual system, that of the olfactory system was thought to be hardwired: Once the neurons had formed, no amount of sensory input could change their arrangement. view more (2007-12-06)
Autistic brain has fewer neurons for processing emotion
For the first time, research has shown that the autistic brain has fewer neurons in an area related to emotion and social behavior, according to a new study published in the July 19 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. view more (2006-07-20)
Brain protein improves stroke symptoms in rats, even when injected after 3 days
A protein naturally occurring in the brain improves recovery from stroke when injected up to three days after the onset of the stroke, and could be used as an effective stroke drug. view more (2006-10-18)
More brain research suggests
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) scientists have found another important clue to why nerve cells die in neurodegenerative diseases, based on studies of the developing brain. view more (2008-02-07)
Killer carbs -- Monash scientist finds the key to overeating as we age
A Monash University scientist has discovered key appetite control cells in the human brain degenerate over time, causing increased hunger and potentially weight-gain as we grow older. view more (2008-08-21)
Myelin suppresses plasticity in the mature brain
Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Science this week genetic evidence for the hypothesis that myelination, or formation of a protective sheath around a nerve fiber, consolidates neural circuitry by suppressing plasticity in the mature brain. view more (2005-09-30)
Neural pathway missing in tone-deaf people
Nerve fibers that link perception and motor regions of the brain are disconnected in tone-deaf people. view more (2009-08-19)
UCLA Researchers Discover Link Between Parkinson's and Narcolepsy
Parkinson's disease is well-known for its progression of motor disorders: stiffness, slowness, tremors, difficulties walking and talking. Less well known is that Parkinson's shares other symptoms with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of deep sleep, severe fatigue and general sleep disorder. view more (2007-05-14)
Compact tidal generator could reduce the cost of producing electricity from flowing water
What happens if you run an electric motor backwards? That is exactly what researchers Dr Steve Turnock and Dr Suleiman Abu-Sharkh from the University of Southampton asked themselves after they had successfully built an electric motor for tethered underwater vehicles. view more (2006-06-14)
Brain's impaired ability to sense glucose might play role in type 2 diabetes
New findings from studies in mice suggest that defects in the brain's ability to respond to glucose play a role in the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes, and that a high-fat diet may contribute to impairing brain cells' ability to regulate glucose throughout the body. view more (2007-08-30)
Researchers get neurons and silicon talking
European researchers have created an interface between mammalian neurons and silicon chips. view more (2006-03-28)
Mice use specialized neurons to detect carbon dioxide in the air
For mice, carbon dioxide often means danger - too many animals breathing in too small a space or a hungry predator exhaling nearby. view more (2007-08-17)
