Fruit fly phlebotomy holds neuroscience promise
Drawing blood from a fruit fly may only be slightly easier than getting it from a proverbial stone or turnip, but success could provide substantial benefits for neuroscientists. view more (2008-03-26)
The brain, traffic and nano-circuits — e-Science takes on major challenges
Research into three major scientific and technological challenges is to receive a major boost from the application of e-Science and grid computing. view more (2006-07-10)
Neuroscientists Uncover Possible Link Between Different Forms of Epilepsy
Carnegie Mellon University neuroscientists have identified what may be the first known common denominator underlying inherited and sporadic epilepsy - a disruption in an ion channel called the BK channel. view more (2008-06-17)
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)
MIT provides first evidence for learning mechanism
Finally confirming a fact that remained unproven for more than 30 years, researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory report in the Aug. 25 issue of Science that certain key connections among neurons get stronger when we learn. view more (2006-08-25)
MIT researchers catch rats' twitchy whiskers in action
Rats use their whiskers in a way that is closely related to the human sense of touch: Just as humans move their fingertips across a surface to perceive shapes and textures, rats twitch their whiskers to achieve the same goal. view more (2008-02-28)
Novel mechanism for long-term learning identified by Carnegie Mellon researchers
Practice makes perfect - or at least that's what we're told as we struggle through endless rounds of multiplication tables, goal kicks and piano scales - and it seems, based on the personal experience of many, to be true. view more (2008-01-04)
Scientists demonstrate means of reducing Alzheimer's-like plaques in fly brain
Neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) are part of a collaboration that has succeeded in demonstrating that overexpression of an enzyme in the brain can reduce telltale deposits causally linked with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-07-16)
Queensland scientists identify molecule that links both sides of the brain
A Queensland Brain Institute-led team has identified a molecule that plays a key role in establishing the major nerve connections between each side of the adult brain. view more (2006-05-25)
Where the brain stores word meanings
EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 18 NOVEMBER 1998 19:00 HRS GMT view more (1998-11-18)
Interactive 3-D atlas of mouse brain now available on web
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have just launched a web-based 3-D digital atlas browser and database of the brain of a popular laboratory mouse. view more (2005-12-01)
Neuroscientists identify how trauma triggers long-lasting memories in the brain
A research team led by UC Irvine neuroscientists has identified how the brain processes and stores emotional experiences as long-term memories. view more (2005-07-27)
Different approach needed to protect brains of premature infants
A study of how the brain of a premature infant responds to injury has found vulnerabilities similar to those in the mature brain but also identified at least one significant difference, according to neuroscientists and neonatologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-04-11)
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)
Sleep chemical central to effectiveness of deep brain stimulation
A brain chemical that makes us sleepy also appears to play a central role in the success of deep brain stimulation to ease symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. The surprising finding is outlined in a paper published online Dec. 23 in Nature Medicine. view more (2007-12-26)
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)
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)
Better sleep may put Huntington's disease sufferers back on track
Mice carrying the genetic mutation that causes Huntington's Disease (HD) showed marked improvements in alertness and their ability to learn after they were given drugs that put them to sleep. view more (2007-07-18)
Nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term memory in snails
Snails can teach us a great deal about how we form memories, according to a group of neuroscientists at the University of Sussex. Research by Dr Ildik'³ Kemenes, Professor Paul Benjamin, Professor Michael O'Shea and colleagues shows that nitric oxide plays a vital role in the formation of long-term... view more (2002-02-18)
More brain research suggests
Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) scientists have found another important clue to why nerve cells die in neurodegenerative diseases, based on studies of the developing brain. view more (2008-02-07)
UCLA develops unique nerve-stimulation epilepsy treatment
A unique nerve-stimulation treatment for epilepsy developed at UCLA offers a potential new alternative for tens of thousands of individuals unable to control their seizures with medication and ineligible for surgery. view more (2006-07-26)
Brains response to visual stimuli helps us to focus on what we should see, rather than all there is to see
Delving ever deeper into the intricate architecture of the brain, researchers at The Salk Institute have now described how two different types of nerve cells, called neurons, work together in tiny sub-networks to pass on just the right amount and the right kind of sensory information. view more (2005-10-24)
