Take this, it could improve your memory
Taking herbs and other substances to improve thinking, memory and mood is a centuries old practice, and is the subject of a number of poster presentations at The British Psychological Society’s Annual Conference, at the Hilton Hotel, Blackpool. The researchers, based at the Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit, University of Northumbria, AstraZeneca UK Clinical Research Group, Edinburgh, and... View More (2002-02-27)
Stanford's Hank Greely puts neuroscience on trial
A lawyer is trying to convince a jury that his client really is crazy. It's usually a tough argument to sell in a court of law. But what if the lawyer has a picture of his client's brain that shows there's something biologically wrong with it? Can that evidence help persuade a jury? Should it even be allowed as evidence?

Breast milk should be drunk at the same time of day that it is expressed
The levels of the components in breast milk change every 24 hours in response to the needs of the baby. A new study published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience shows, for example, how this milk could help newborn babies to sleep. View More (2009-10-01)
Study first to pinpoint why analgesic drugs may be less potent in females than in males
Investigators at Georgia State University's Neuroscience Institute and Center for Behavioral Neuroscience are the first to identify the most likely reason analgesic drug treatment is usually less potent in females than males. View More (2008-12-23)
Neuroscience research could benefit US Army, yet challenge traditional approaches
Advances in neuroscience research could benefit the Army, particularly in areas of soldier training and education. However, an emerging trend of using individual variability in neural processes such as cognition, stress response, and decision making to improve group performance is likely to challenge conventional approaches to training and educating soldiers.
