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,... 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? view more (2010-02-22)
Media Invitation: British Neuroscience Association National Meeting
The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is about to host its 17th National Meeting in Harrogate (13-16 April) and is attracting more delegates than ever before. With seven plenary lectures, 20 symposia and over 40 poster sessions, this will be quite a neuroscience festival for the UK.

Early use of nicotine could increase susceptibility for life-long addiction
Nicotine exposure at a young age may alter the "hard-wiring" of the brain that occurs during adolescence and young-adulthood, contributing to future susceptibility for addiction. view more (2006-10-17)
The nanoscience/neuroscience intersection: A dialogue
Is it possible to build supercomputers that can replicate the human brain, or to develop nanotechnology that can lead to an implantable chip for interfacing with neurons and other types of cellular networks? view more (2010-03-05)

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... view more...

Resisting peer pressure: new findings shed light on adolescent decision-making
The capacity to resist peer pressure in early adolescence may depend on the strength of connections between certain areas of the brain. view more (2007-07-26)
Brain memory area modifies its wiring diagram during the female cycle
Researchers at Northwestern University and Columbia University have found that "wiring" in female rat brain memory area expands and retracts in relation to the amount of estrogen present during the estrous/menstrual cycle. view more (2005-11-15)
Chewing your way to a better brain
Substances as diverse as chewing gum, aromatherapy oils, and ginseng may all increase your cognitive performance. Over a number of decades, there has been a growing interest in the use of such substances that are believed to have a positive effect on aspects of cognitive performance such as thinking and memory. view more (2002-02-27)
Migraine sufferers more prone to hangover headache
Migraine sufferers, beware. You may be more prone to an alcohol-induced headache after a night of drinking, according to researchers from the Jefferson Headache Center. The research will be presented at Neuroscience 2009, the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, in Chicago. view more (2009-10-19)
Rutgers-Newark researchers link individual preferences to neuronal activity in brain
Based on research performed using laboratory rats, a team of neuroscience researchers at Rutgers University-Newark suggest that an intricate system exists within the brain for establishing individual preferences, which ultimately impacts choices. view more (2005-09-02)
Migrating birds can't control themselves
During the Spring and Fall migratory seasons, sparrows become significantly less capable of resisting temptation. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience investigated impulse control and sleep in White-crowned Sparrows during migratory and non-migratory seasons. view more (2010-07-29)
Tetanus toxin found to have therapeutic properties
A team of researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has discovered that tetanus toxin, which causes tetanus, could be extremely useful as a therapy against psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and anorexia, and to slow... view more...

New technique holds promise for reducing back surgery failure
Texas researchers believe that they have discovered how to prevent many cases of the most common problem encountered by patients undergoing spine surgery: failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). view more (2007-01-29)
More than just pretty faces for this brain region, says Stanford researcher
You'll find more than faces in these places. Stanford University researchers have taken the closest look yet at a region of the brain that was thought to be devoted solely to face recognition and discovered that this particular patchwork of neurons does much more: It also responds to such objects as cars, animals and sculptures. view more (2006-08-30)
