Brain imaging and genetic studies link thinking patterns to addiction
Scientists have for the first time identified brain sites that fire up more when people make impulsive decisions. In a study comparing brain activity of sober alcoholics and non-addicted people making financial decisions, the group of sober alcoholics showed significantly more "impulsive" neural activity. view more (2007-12-26)
Hush Little Baby... Linking Genes, Brain, and Behavior in Children
It comes as no surprise that some babies are more difficult to soothe than others but frustrated parents may be relieved to know that this is not necessarily an indication of their parenting skills. view more (2009-07-14)
Cognitive, genetic clues identified in imaging study of alcohol addiction
People with clinical addictions know first-hand the ravages the disease can take on almost every aspect of their lives. So why do they continue addictive behaviors, even after a period of peaceable abstinence" view more (2007-12-26)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
Antibacterial bioactive glass for European markets
Two new products have been approved to European medical markets: antibacterial bioactive glass granules for remedying frontal sinus and bone defects and a bioactive glass plate for the repair of the orbital floor. view more (2004-10-26)
Unusual data shed new light on brain and inhibiting behavior
When a child has a problem focusing or acts too quickly with inappropriate behavior, it's enough to drive adults nuts. view more (2006-08-16)
Evidence appears to show how and where frontal lobe works
A Brown University study of stroke victims has produced evidence that the frontal lobe of the human brain controls decision-making along a continuum from abstract to concrete, from front to back. view more (2009-03-02)
Brain model enhances understanding of schizophrenia
A new model for the interaction among the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex may be a step on the way to improving treatment for schizophrenia and ADHD. The model, which describes the function of three types of inhibitory nerve cells in the frontal lobe, is being presented in the scientific journal PNAS by researchers from Linköping... view more...

Study charts origins of fear
A team of researchers led by the University of Toronto has charted how and where a painful event becomes permanently etched in the brain - a discovery that has implications for pain-related emotional disorders such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress. view more (2005-09-16)
New Cortex study uncovers how we recognize what is true and what is false
A recent neuroimaging study reveals that the ability to distinguish true from false in our daily lives involves two distinct processes. view more (2009-06-18)
Is Tetris good for the brain?
Brain imaging shows playing Tetris leads to a thicker cortex and may also increase brain efficiency. view more (2009-09-01)
ESA's Rosetta launch re-scheduled: Follow the launch from an ESA establishment
After two successive delays, the launch of Rosetta is now scheduled for Tuesday 2 March at 04:17 or 04:37 Kourou time (08:17 or 08:37 CET) on board an Ariane 5 launcher from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Media representatives in Europe can follow the launch of Rosetta and initial orbital operations at ESA/Darmstadt (ESOC) in... view more... (2004-03-01)

Stroke study sheds light on left-right brain divide
Research into the effects of strokes has furthered our understanding of the different roles of the left and right sides of our brains. view more (2007-06-11)
Neurons in the frontal lobe may be responsible for rational decision-making
You study the menu at a restaurant and decide to order the steak rather than the salmon. But when the waiter tells you about the lobster special, you decide lobster trumps steak. Without reconsidering the salmon, you place your order-all because of a trait called "transitivity." view more (2007-12-10)
Slow brain waves play key role in coordinating complex activity
While it is widely accepted that the output of nerve cells carries information between regions of the brain, it's a big mystery how widely separated regions of the cortex involving billions of cells are linked together to coordinate complex activity. view more (2006-09-15)
ESA's SMART-1 satellite ready for lift-off
Follow the SMART-1 launch from an ESA or Arianespace establishment. During the night of Saturday 27/Sunday 28 September, ESA's SMART-1 satellite will be launched by an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's spaceport at Kourou at 20:02 hrs local time (01:02 hrs Central European Summer Time, 23:02 hrs GMT). SMART-1 is the first of a series of 'Small... view more... (2003-09-24)
MIT: Long-distance brain waves focus attention
Just as our world buzzes with distractions - from phone calls to e-mails to tweets - the neurons in our brain are bombarded with messages. view more (2009-05-29)
Blood test predicts chance of dementia
Frontal lobe dementia (Frontotemporal Dementia, FTD) strikes people at an earlier age. After Alzheimer's disease, FTD is the form of dementia that occurs most frequently in patients younger than 65. view more (2009-03-06)
Feelings matter less to teenagers
Teenagers take less account than adults of people's feelings and, often, even fail to think about their own, according to a UCL neuroscientist. view more (2006-09-07)
