Memory uses separate information pathways
The researchers studied two signals from different sensory parts of the brain, one of which arrived at the perirhinal and the other at the postrhinal cerebral cortex. These parts of the brain are located close to the sulcus and receive information from areas of the brain which process different types of sensory information. The information enters... view more...

Electronic tongue as oil tester
In the early days of mass motoring, in the 1950s, a car became due for inspection and oil change roughly every 3,000 kilometers. Since then, improvements to car engines and oils have lengthened this interval to around 30,000 kilometers, and it is likely to increase still further: to three times that figure, in the years to come. Nevertheless, the... view more... (2003-05-22)
Satellite methods for monitoring volcanic activity in the Andes Cordillera
The central part of the Andes situated between southern Peru and Chile bears 50 active or potentially volcanoes, spread along a 1500 km-long arc. These volcanic structures mostly rise to between 4000 and 7000 m, are very remote with abrupt slopes and are often cloaked in snow. view more (2007-10-08)
Stripping leukemia-initiating cells of their 'invisibility cloak'
Two new studies reveal a way to increase the body's appetite for gobbling up the cancer stem cells responsible for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a form of cancer with a particularly poor survival rate. view more (2009-07-24)
Turning sound into light
Actors who perform in musicals often sweat in torrents when they have to zap around the stage on roller-skates or sing a ballad under a burning spotlight, dressed in bearskin. To allow the audience to hear them clearly, the artists wear cleverly hidden microphones underneath their make-up and costume. But as soon they break into a sweat, the... view more... (2003-09-18)
New trigger for chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis discovered
A signal molecule made by the human body that triggers the immune system into action may be important in rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2009-06-29)
NASA Balloon Mission Tunes in to a Cosmic Radio Mystery
Listening to the early universe just got harder. A team led by Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., today announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected. view more (2009-01-08)
Bile acids, receptor key in regenerating livers
Bile must have been the most important thing in medicine for the physicians of ancient Greece and Rome. Yellow bile and black bile are half of the four humors that they believed made up the body, along with blood and phlegm. view more (2006-04-14)
Precise Location and Navigation in the Centimetre Range
The importance of position recognition systems for control and monitoring processes is steadily increasing. As dictated by the particular application, very high precision and measuring repetition rate are required for this purpose. Consequently, work for developing a novel system for commercial applications has been in progress at the Institute of... view more... (2003-03-31)
A drug-sensitive 'traffic cop' tells potassium channels to get lost
Our brains are buzzing with electrical activity created by sodium and potassium ions moving in and out of neurons through specialized pores. To prevent the constant chatter from descending into chaos the activity of these ion channels has to be tightly regulated. view more (2007-09-04)
NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities
Researchers at New York University have made chemical modifications to nanometer sized virus particles—a process that has the potential to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Their results are reported in the latest issue of Nano Letters. view more (2006-06-14)
Newborn neurons like to hang with the 'in' crowd
Like any new kid on the block that tries to fit in, newborn brain cells need to find their place within the existing network of neurons. view more (2007-05-08)
Rutgers University Scientist's Research Reveals Critical Knowledge About the Nervous System
Uncover the neural communication links involved in myelination, the process of protecting a nerve's axon, and it may become possible to reverse the breakdown of the nervous system's electrical transmissions in such disorders as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, diabetes and cancers of the nervous system. view more (2007-11-07)
Screaming CMEs Warn of Radiation Storms
A CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) is a solar body slam to our high-tech civilization. CMEs begin when the sun launches a billion tons of electrically conducting gas (plasma) into space at millions of miles per hour. view more (2007-05-29)
Quantum memory and turbulence in ultra-cold atoms
Scientists at MIT have figured out a key step toward the design of quantum information networks. view more (2009-07-20)
Sunitinib prolongs survival in GIST patients after imatinib mesylate failure
Updated results from a Phase III trial presented at the 13th European Cancer Conference (ECCO) show that sunitinib (SU11248) prolongs both progression-free and overall survival in patients with progressive metastatic and/or unresectable GIST whose disease has failed to respond to the standard therapy-imatinib mesylate. view more (2005-11-04)
£4 Million for New Centres for Structural Biology
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) today announces its intention to fund four more UK Centres for Structural Biology. view more (1999-02-01)
Mathematical model for the vibrato
As her PhD defended at the Public University of Navarre, telecommunications engineer Ixone Arroabarren has analysed the vibrato, one of the most important tools of classical singers. The study applies both to the teaching of singing in music as well as to the medical treatment of voice pathologies. It has put forward a mathematical model for the... view more... (2004-08-18)
Algorithms to reanimate the heart
When an adult suffers a cardiorespiratory arrest the rapid application of an electrical discharge with a defibrillator can avoid sudden death in many cases. Nevertheless, defibrillation also has its impediment or enemy: time. For every minute that passes from the moment of the attack, the possibilities of survival drop by 10%. view more (2007-10-03)
Astronomers discover new radio signal using large balloon
A team of NASA-funded scientists, including two from UC Santa Barbara, have discovered cosmic radio noise that they find completely unexpected and exciting. view more (2009-01-08)
