New understanding of nervous system gives insight into common gut problem in newborn babies
Medical Research Council (MRC) researchers have unlocked the mysteries of the nervous system responsible for proper formation and function of the gut. This new understanding has implications for treating Hirschsprung's disease, a common disorder in newborns that requires corrective surgery in order for food to pass through the bowel and the colon.... view more...

Psychiatric and neurologic conditions may underlie many cases of chronic dizziness
Chronic dizziness may have several common causes, including anxiety disorders, migraine, traumatic brain injury and disorders in the part of the nervous system governing involuntary activities. view more (2007-02-20)
Arthritis Drug Helps Debilitating Inflammatory Disease
For children and young adults who suffer from a rare and debilitating disorder called neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), a drug called anakinra brings marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-11)
A coffee with your doughnut could protect against Alzheimer's disease
A daily dose of caffeine blocks the disruptive effects of high cholesterol that scientists have linked to Alzheimer's disease. A study in the open access publication, Journal of Neuroinflammation revealed that caffeine equivalent to just one cup of coffee a day could protect the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from damage that occurred with a high-fat... view more...

Brittlestar provides new model for stem cell research
The brittlestar, Amphiura filiformis, is a close relative of the starfish and can regenerate lost arms in a matter of weeks. view more (2006-04-10)
Scientists push forward understanding of multiple sclerosis
New findings by a research team from the University of Edinburgh may help explain why diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) which attack the myelin sheath - an insulator which protects the body's nervous system-cause such severe symptoms in MS patients. view more (2005-12-08)
A&T professor has technology to monitor bridge safety
North Carolina A&T State University has developed a technology that could have possibly prevented the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota. view more (2007-08-06)
Rutgers University Scientist's Research Reveals Critical Knowledge About the Nervous System
Uncover the neural communication links involved in myelination, the process of protecting a nerve's axon, and it may become possible to reverse the breakdown of the nervous system's electrical transmissions in such disorders as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, diabetes and cancers of the nervous system. view more (2007-11-07)
Motor nerve targeting to limb muscles is controlled by ephrin proteins
A study from a team of researchers including Dr. Artur Kania, Director of the Neural Circuit Development Research Unit at the IRCM, and Dr. Dayana Krawchuk, postdoctoral fellow, shows how a family of proteins present in the developing limb control nerve targeting from the spinal cord to the muscles of the limb. view more (2008-12-29)
Protein shown to play a key role in normal development of nervous system
A protein that enables nerve cells to communicate with each other plays a key role in controlling the developing nervous system. view more (2008-10-08)
Nine Million Deutschmarks for Genome Research in Bonn
The German government will provide funding totalling over 30 million Deutschmarks for the investigation of genetically based diseases of the nervous system during the next three years. The University of Bonn will receive the biggest portion of this sum, nine million marks. Bonn scientists thus benefit from the recently founded national genome... view more... (2001-04-04)
The mind-body connection: how CNS regulates arthritis
In a unique approach to inflammation research, a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that, in a model of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the joints can be sensed and modulated by the central nervous system (CNS). view more (2006-09-05)
Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work
A robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system impairment, say University of Michigan researchers. view more (2007-02-12)
Grouping muscles to make controlling limbs easier
With more than 30 muscles in your arm, controlling movement -- whether it's grasping a glass or throwing a baseball -- is a complex task that potentially takes into account thousands of variables. view more (2009-04-21)
Snoozing worms help Penn researchers explain the evolution of sleep
The roundworm C. elegans, a staple of laboratory research, may be key in unlocking one of the central biological mysteries: why we sleep. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine report in this week's advanced online edition of Nature that the round worm has a sleep-like state, joining most of the animal kingdom in... view more...

Georgia State researchers shed light on fat burning
Researchers at Georgia State University have found that fat cells give feedback to the brain in order to regulate fat burning much the same way a thermostat regulates temperature inside a house. view more (2009-02-06)
Researchers Disprove 15-year-old Theory about the Nervous System
A delay in traffic may cause a headache, but a delay in the nervous system can cause much more. University of Missouri researchers have uncovered clues identifying which proteins are involved in the development of the nervous system and found that the proteins previously thought to play a significant role, in fact, do not. view more (2009-02-04)
Genetically-modified mice reveal another mechanism contributing to heart failure
Scientists at the Robarts Research Institute at The University of Western Ontario, working in collaboration with researchers in Brazil, have used a unique genetically-modified mouse line to reveal a previously unidentified mechanism contributing to heart failure. view more (2010-02-02)
Cancer drug hope for people with lupus
A drug used to treat cancer may also benefit people with lupus who have complications of the central nervous system. Rheumatologists at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Vienna, Austria heard today (Thursday 9 June) that rituximab is the first drug in a quarter of a century that is making a real impact, and an alternative to previous... view more...

Zebrafish behavior monitoring system could boost drug discovery: UBC-Harvard research
Researchers from the University of British Columbia and Harvard University have co-developed a system that captures on video and barcodes the behavioral responses of zebrafish to chemical compounds on a large scale. view more (2010-01-19)
