Expansion of monocyte subset could serve as a biomarker for HIV progressions
An increase in the CD163+/CD16+ monocyte subset could be a biomarker for the progression of HIV disease, according to researchers at Temple University. view more (2008-03-28)
New treatment mechanisms for schizophrenia
The field of schizophrenia research has come alive with many exciting new potential approaches to treatment. From the introduction of chlorpromazine to the current day, all treatments approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have had, at their core, a single treatment mechanism, the blockade of the dopamine D2 receptor. view more (2008-01-09)
Prefrontal cortex loses neurons during adolescence, researchers find

UCLA imaging study of children with autism finds broken mirror neuron system
New imaging research at UCLA detailed Dec. 4 as an advance online publication of the journal Nature Neuroscience shows children with autism have virtually no activity in a key part of the brain's mirror neuron system while imitating and observing emotions. view more (2005-12-05)
Brain structures contribute to asthma
The mere mention of a stressful word like "wheeze" can activate two brain regions in asthmatics during an attack, and this brain activity may be associated with more severe asthma symptoms, according to a study by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers and collaborators. view more (2005-08-29)
