Meditation appears to produce enduring changes in emotional processing in the brain
A new study has found that participating in an 8-week meditation training program can have measurable effects on how the brain functions even when someone is not actively meditating. View More (2012-11-13)
Growth hormone is made in the brain, report scientists
Scientists have found that growth hormone, a substance that is used for body growth, is produced in the brain, according to an article published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. View More (2006-03-28)
Gene changes linked to deficient immune suppression in MS
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have measured genetic changes reflecting a drop in the body's ability to suppress inflammatory cells that attack nerve fibers and promote progression of multiple sclerosis. View More (2005-06-27)
Mount Sinai researchers show reduced ability of the aging brain to respond to experience
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have published new data on why the aging brain is less resilient and less capable of learning from life experiences. View More (2011-05-25)
Rutgers Scientists Discover Brain Cell Development Process Implicated in Mental Retardation, Finding May Lead to New Drug Therapies
Scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have discovered a biological process in brain cell development that may help explain some causes of mental retardation. This understanding may one day help other researchers develop therapies that can reduce specific forms of retardation. View More (2007-08-01)
Boosting supply of key brain chemical reduces fatigue in mice
Researchers at Vanderbilt University have "engineered" a mouse that can run on a treadmill twice as long as a normal mouse by increasing its supply of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter essential for muscle contraction. View More (2010-12-21)
Scientists can now block heroin, morphine addiction
In a major breakthrough, an international team of scientists has proven that addiction to morphine and heroin can be blocked, while at the same time increasing pain relief. View More (2012-08-15)
Research links 'ecstasy' to survival of key movement-related cells in brain
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the widely abused club drug "ecstasy," or MDMA, can increase the survival of dopamine cells in the brain during fetal development. View More (2006-10-19)
Study reveals how memory load leaves us 'blind' to new visual information
It's been known for some time that when our brains are focused on a task, we can fail to see other things that are in plain sight. View More (2012-10-02)
Study finds gene related to brain development and function plays causal role in schizophrenia
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, variations of a gene related to brain development and function-OLIG2-may play a causal role in the development of schizophrenia, a hereditary psychiatric disorder with no known biological cause.

Disease-causing protein protects against nerve damage in Parkinson's disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a protein associated with causing neurodegenerative conditions may, when appearing in normal amounts, actually protect against neurodegeneration. View More (2005-11-04)
Brain enzyme is double whammy for Alzheimer's disease
The underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease are not fully understood, but a good deal of evidence points to the accumulation of β-amyloid, a protein that's toxic to nerve cells. View More (2012-08-20)
VIB top scientist receives major research grant & VIB presents 2004 results
VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) is presenting its annual results for 2004 today, and Bart De Strooper - one of VIB's leading scientists - is receiving a 'Bristol-Myers Squibb Freedom to Discover Unrestricted Biomedical Research Grant in Neuroscience'. VIB strives for successful combinations of world-class research and economic relevance, and the BMS Foundation grant... View More (2005-05-02)
Women anticipate negative experiences differently to men
Men and women differ in the way they anticipate an unpleasant emotional experience, which influences the effectiveness with which that experience is committed to memory, according to new research. View More (2011-08-24)
You will remember this
Scientists can now predict memory of an event before it even happens. A team at UCL (University College London) can now tell how well memory will serve us before we have seen what we will remember. View More (2006-02-27)
Decoding Funny Faces to Detect Disease
Like Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind, life is often difficult for the 2.4 million Americans with schizophrenia. A late or incorrect diagnosis and the lack of effective treatment options can destroy a sufferer's quality of life. View More (2009-02-05)
Differences in dopamine may determine how hard people work
Whether someone is a "go-getter" or a "slacker" may depend on individual differences in the brain chemical dopamine, according to new research in the May 2 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. The findings suggest that dopamine affects cost-benefit analyses. View More (2012-05-03)

Have you ever wondered why people surrounded by friends or family appear happier and healthier? View More (2007-05-18)
Common bowel problem linked to chili pepper pain receptor
People with irritable bowel syndrome have a higher than usual number of chilli pepper pain receptors, according to a new study published tomorrow (Wednesday 11 June). View More (2008-06-10)
Manipulating Cell Receptor Alters Animal Behavior
Researchers at the University at Buffalo and the University of Pennsylvania were the first to demonstrate that two intracellular events, both stimulated by the same cell receptor, can provoke different behaviors in mammals. View More (2006-03-22)
