Geisinger study: Inflammatory disease causes blindness
People suffering from a type of connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation of arteries in the head are three times more likely to experience blindness, new Geisinger research shows.   view more (2008-06-17)

Brief, high-dose steroid treatment offers extended relief to giant cell arteritis patients
A new study offers both hope and a practical treatment option for patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Researchers from Emory University and the Mayo Clinic have found that by treating newly diagnosed GCA patients with just three days of a high-dose intravenous steroid, patients relapsed less... view more (2006-10-04)

Mean Population Size Increases with Diversity
A long-standing debate in ecology has been the effect of diversity on the temporal stability of biological systems. Ecological theory predicts that the stability of populations should decline as community diversity increases, in part, because population size is assumed to decline with community... view more (2003-01-28)

Sleep enforces the temporal sequence in memory
We have usually quite strong memories of past events like an exciting holiday or a jolly birthday party. However it is not clear how the brain keeps track of the temporal sequence in such memories: did Paul spill a glass of wine before or after Mary left the party?   view more (2007-04-18)

Epilepsy Study Shows Memory Loss After Brain Surgery
Epilepsia, the official publication of the International League Against Epilepsy, recently published a one-year follow-up study that finds some post-surgical epilepsy patients have a significant decline in verbal memory. This type of memory loss is associated with learning, recall and recognition.   view more (2004-10-12)

Centrefold models are becoming more androgynous
The shapely body characteristics of centrefold models have given way to more androgynous ones, concludes a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers looked at trends in Playboy centrefold models' body measurements by analysing 577 consecutive monthly issues of Playboy, from the... view more (2002-12-18)

Living Metals
Using synchrotron x-ray microbeams, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the ESRF has been able to observe for the first time that the microscopic structure of a crystalline material fluctuates in time. The results are published today in Science Express... view more (2005-04-22)

Yerkes researchers identify language feature unique to human brain
Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have identified a language feature unique to the human brain that is shedding light on how human language evolved. The study marks the first use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a non-invasive imaging technique, to... view more (2008-03-24)

How nature tinkers with the cellular clock
The life of a cell is all about growing and dividing at the right time. That is why the cell cycle is one of the most tightly regulated cellular processes.   view more (2006-09-28)

Where the brain organizes actions
Researchers have discovered that Broca's area in the brain—best known as the region that evolved to manage speech production—is a major "executive" center in the brain for organizing hierarchies of behaviors.   view more (2006-06-15)

Study identifies new patterns of brain activation used in forming long-term memories
Researchers at New York University and Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have identified patterns of brain activation linked to the formation of long-term memories.   view more (2008-02-20)

Time to burn: Getting a step ahead of wildland arsonists
Over 1.5 million fires are set by arsonists each year in the United States, resulting in over $3 billion in damages.   view more (2005-09-29)

U.S. Air Force Technology Helps Scientists Understand Plant Root Function
The McClellan Nuclear Radiation Center (MNRC) in Sacramento, CA was developed by the U.S. Air Force to detect corrosion and defects in aircraft structure using an imaging technique called neutron radiography. This technique is currently helping soil scientists understand the function of plant roots... view more (2008-09-09)

Fusion in the fast lane
Using fast digital imaging, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, together with researchers from Collîge de France, have succeeded in developing two different protocols by which one can initiate the fusion process in a controlled manner and... view more (2006-10-23)

Bacterial Persistence in Streams
A research team from the University of Tennessee (UT) has completed a study on an East Tennessee river to determine the connection between watershed hydrology and fecal bacteria statistical time series analysis.   view more (2008-08-06)

Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.   view more (2008-07-29)

Memory function varies after damage to key area of the brain
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered dramatic differences in the memory performance of patients with damage to the hippocampus, an area of the human brain key to memory.   view more (2008-10-23)

New opinions on the health benefits of Mozart
There has been controversy about the health benefits of Mozart's music ever since researchers claimed that listening to the K448 piano sonata improved spatial reasoning skills. Later research suggested that K448 can reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy. In the April Journal of the... view more (2001-03-29)

The key of epilepsy can be in LGI1/Epitempina gene
Researchers of the Hospital of San Sebastian and the Biomedicine Institute of Valencia have discovered the genetic basis of hereditary epilepsy. The work leaded by the researchers Adolfo Lopez de Munain and Jordi Perez Tur has analysed the effect of the gene called LGI1/Epitempina. Temporal lateral... view more (2002-05-07)

For two primates, patience takes different forms, shaped by ecology
Across the animal kingdom, individuals face choices between patience and impulsivity. A classic case, confronted by all animals-humans included-is that between a small, immediate food reward and a delayed, but larger, reward.   view more (2005-10-25)

Mapping dynamic Polycomb group proteins during Drosophila development
The developmental passage from a ball of cells to a fruit-fly is a very complicated process involving both temporal and spatial regulation of genes and pathways.   view more (2006-04-20)

NEW MAPPING TECHNIQUE FOR EARLIER DETECTION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (p 201)
An Early Report in this week’s issue of THE LANCET outlines an imaging technique that could identify the early progression of Alzheimer’s disease before the onset of clinical symptoms. The early diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of Alzheimer’s disease is important for... view more (2001-07-18)

Scientists identify brain circuits used in sensation of touch
The ability to tactually recognize fine spatial details, such as the raised dots used in braille, is especially important to those who are blind.   view more (2007-10-11)

When neurons fire up: Study sheds light on rhythms of the brain
In our brains, groups of neurons fire up simultaneously for just milliseconds at a time, in random rhythms, similar to twinkling lightning bugs in our backyards. New research from neuroscientists at Indiana University and the University of Montreal provides a model -- a rhyme and reason -- for this... view more (2008-08-06)

Researchers discover second depth-perception method in brain
It's common knowledge that humans and other animals are able to visually judge depth because we have two eyes and the brain compares the images from each. But we can also judge depth with only one eye, and scientists have been searching for how the brain accomplishes that feat.   view more (2008-03-17)
