High-quality marriages help to calm nerves
A University of Virginia neuroscientist has found that women under stress who hold their husbands' hands show signs of immediate relief, which can clearly be seen on their brain scans. view more (2006-12-19)
Brown Scientists Explain Inception of Perception in the Brain
The taste of champagne, the sound of a train, the flash of a pop fly into left field - indeed all of human perception - begins in the brain's center. That's where sensory information passes from the thalamus to the neocortex for processing. view more (2007-03-06)
Developing unique brain maps to assist surgery and research
Researchers from the Howard Florey Institute in Melbourne are developing new technology to create individualised brain maps that will revolutionise diagnosis of disease and enhance the accuracy of brain surgery. view more (2008-06-17)
'Rain Man' mice provide model for autism
Mice containing a mutated human gene implicated in autism exhibit the poor social skills but increased intelligence akin to the title character's traits in the movie "Rain Man," researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2007-09-10)
Ume'å physiologists describe a new principle for information coding in the nervous system
How does the nervous system code, transmit, and process the information that steers our behaviour? Ronald S. Johansson's research team at Ume'å University in Sweden is now publishing its discovery of a new principle for this. The prevailing view is that information is coded and transmitted by variations in the number of nerve impulses per... view more... (2004-01-20)
Epilepsy genes may cancel each other
Inheriting two genetic mutations that can individually cause epilepsy might actually be "seizure-protective," said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears online today in the journal Nature Neuroscience. view more (2007-11-05)
Your gut has taste receptors
Researchers in the Department of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have identified taste receptors in the human intestines. view more (2007-08-21)
Receptor critical in neurodegeneration reduces Alzheimer's plaque
Increasing the level of a protein that plays a key role in traumatic spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis reduces the concentration of disease-causing plaque in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-02-03)
Breakthrough in 3-D Brain Mapping Enables Removal of Fist-Sized Tumor
A new technology involving the fusion of four different types of images into a 3-D map of a patient's brain has helped University of Cincinnati (UC) specialists successfully remove a fist-sized tumor from the brain of an Indiana woman. view more (2009-07-15)
Brain Coup For Bangor
The University of Wales, Bangor has been awarded a grant of £1,250,000 by the prestigious Wolfson Foundation to support the establishment of an Institute for Clinical and Cognitive Neurosciences within the School of Psychology. The new Institute will capitalise upon world-leading research already underway at Bangor's School of Psychology and... view more... (2004-01-19)
Making the connection between a sound and a reward changes brain and behavior
If you've ever wondered how you recognize your mother's voice without seeing her face or how you discern your cell phone's ring in a crowded room, researchers may have another piece of the answer. view more (2006-10-23)
Children's National scientists uncover key developmental mechanisms of the amygdala
For the first time, scientists at Children's National Medical Center have successfully identified a key developmental program for the amygdala-the part of the limbic system that impacts how the brain creates emotional memories and responses. view more (2009-01-13)
Rutgers Research: Direct Evidence of the Role of Sleep in Memory Formation is Uncovered
A Rutgers University, Newark and Collége de France, Paris research team has pinpointed for the first time the mechanism that takes place during sleep that causes learning and memory formation to occur. view more (2009-09-16)
Press invitation - EU calls for more and better co-ordinated brain research at European level
Some 250 leading brain specialists are gathering in Brussels today to discuss the creation of a European Brain Research Area. European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin opened the conference on "Brain Research in Europe: Structuring European Neuroscience", which was organised together with Member of the European Parliament Giuseppe... view more...

Researchers uncover mechanisms of common inherited mental retardation
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center are uncovering how brain cells are affected in Fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of inherited mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism. view more (2008-01-09)
Researchers find a key mechanism in the development of nerve cells
Chaos brews in the brains of newborns: the nerve cells are still bound only loosely to each other. view more (2009-09-30)
New research promising for improving brain cell survival after brain injury
Scientists at Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have found a protein in the brain that can save neurons from dying after experiencing traumatic brain injury from incidents such as stroke, car accidents and falls. view more (2006-07-11)
Growth factor protects brain against damage from stroke
A naturally occurring growth factor called neuregulin-1 protects brain cells from damage resulting from stroke, according to an animal study conducted by researchers at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and the Atlanta-based Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN). view more (2005-12-14)
Immune response to HIV in the brain
Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. view more (2006-04-28)
When smell cells fail they call in stem cell reserves
Hopkins researchers have identified a backup supply of stem cells that can repair the most severe damage to the nerves responsible for our sense of smell. view more (2007-04-30)
