New evidence on addiction to medicines Diazepam has effect on nerve cells in the brain reward system
Addictions to medicines and drugs are thought to develop over a relatively long period of time. The process involves both structural and functional changes in brain nerve cells that are still poorly understood.   view more (2008-08-28)

There Is So Much The Human Genome Project Can Bring Us, Say Brain Researchers
Brain researchers from around the world, currently in Brighton for the Forum of Neuroscience Societies, FENS 2000, welcomed the news of the completion of the Human Genome Project today. An estimated 40,000 - 50,000 genes are involved in the structure and function of the brain. The complex... view more (2000-06-26)

Collaborations yield new discoveries in psychiatric genetics
Two New Jersey research teams are reporting discoveries about the biological nature of psychiatric disorders that may bring them closer to the ultimate goal of finding cures for complex diseases, such as autism and schizophrenia.   view more (2005-10-07)

Routine Testing After Aneurysm Coiling Carries Low Risk
A very low risk of complication is associated with a routine test that determines whether a brain aneurysm treated with endovascular coiling has started to recur, a study led by the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute has shown.   view more (2008-11-19)

Altered perception of reward in human cocaine addiction
People addicted to cocaine have an impaired ability to perceive rewards and exercise control due to disruptions in the brain's reward and control circuits.   view more (2006-10-16)

Sound training rewires dyslexic children's brains for reading
Some children with dyslexia struggle to read because their brains aren't properly wired to process fast-changing sounds, according to a brain-imaging study published this month in the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience (online October 16).   view more (2007-10-31)

Master planners in brain may coordinate other areas' roles in cognitive tasks
Scientists have used data from scans of 183 subjects to identify brain areas that consistently become active in a variety of cognitive tasks, such as reading, learning a rhythm or analyzing a picture.   view more (2006-06-01)

Barrow scientists solve 200-year-old scientific debate involving visual illusions
Neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center have discovered a direct link between eye motions and the perception of illusory motion that solves a 200-year-old debate.   view more (2008-11-21)

Type of anesthetic will improve sleeping medication, probe mysteries of the snooze
Researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered sleep patterns in a type of anesthesia that are the closest ever to a natural, non-groggy snooze.   view more (2008-04-17)

Food tastes stronger when you're hungry
People on diets should be forgiven for moaning that chocolate tastes better when you're hungry. Just missing breakfast makes you more sensitive to sweet and salty tastes, according to research to be published next Monday in BMC Neuroscience. Hunger could increase your ability to taste, by... view more (2004-02-18)

Alteration of brain protein regulates learning
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a biochemical switch that affects how neurons fire in a part of the brain associated with learning, findings that may aid in understanding schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-08-18)

Impaired recognition of distress cues linked to psychopathic individuals
New research shows that children with psychopathic tendencies and psychopathic adults are unable to tell that another person is sad or frightened from their facial expression, and this may be due to functional abnormalities in part of the brain known as the amygdala. This was the finding of... view more (2000-09-12)

Barrow scientists work their magic
Two neuroscientists at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center are turning magic tricks into science.   view more (2008-08-19)

New research targets treatment for dementia and brain injuries
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) researchers have identified a process that could lead to development of repair mechanisms for people suffering from dementia and acquired brain injury.   view more (2005-11-29)

Animal models show that anabolic steroids flip the adolescent brain's switch for aggression
Anabolic steroids not only make teens more aggressive, but may keep them that way into young adulthood.   view more (2006-02-27)

First look: Princeton researchers peek into deepest recesses of human brain
A team of scientists from Princeton University has devised a new experimental technique that produces some of the best functional images ever taken of the human brainstem, the most primitive area of the brain.   view more (2008-02-29)

GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience.   view more (2005-09-02)

New findings show additional similarity between opiate and nicotine addiction
"That was good!" "Do it again." This is what the brain says when people use tobacco, as well as 'hard drugs' such as heroin.   view more (2008-02-13)

Kids need more time than adults give them, study finds
Further proof that children require more time comes via a study to be published today in Developmental Science asserting that the fast pace expected by adults-both parents and educators-can be beyond chindren's perceptual abilities.   view more (2006-08-10)

Abnormal glutamine repeats interfere with key transcription factor, leading to neurodegeneration
Although repeating sequences of three nucleotides encoding some of the bodies' 20 amino acids are a normal part of protein composition, abnormal expansion of trinucleotide repeats is the known cause of multiple inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington disease.   view more (2007-11-14)

Strength of connections between brain regions may affect an adolescent's response to peer influence
Brain regions that regulate different aspects of behavior are more interconnected in children with high resistance to peer influence than those with low resistance, according to a new study published in the July 25 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience.   view more (2007-07-27)

Antipsychotic drug may block addiction, UIC researchers find
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered that a long-approved oral antipsychotic drug can stop the addictive properties of opioid painkillers in mice.   view more (2006-02-09)

Scientists push forward understanding of multiple sclerosis
New findings by a research team from the University of Edinburgh may help explain why diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) which attack the myelin sheath - an insulator which protects the body's nervous system-cause such severe symptoms in MS patients.   view more (2005-12-08)
