Neural bottleneck found that thwarts multi-tasking
Many people think they can safely drive while talking on their cell phones. Vanderbilt neuroscientists Paul E. Dux and RenĂ© Marois have found that when it comes to handling two things at once, your brain, while fast, isn't that fast.   view more (2007-01-19)

Associative memory — Learning at all levels
"Green" means "go," but what does "red" mean? Just about everybody says "stop" since we all have learned to imbue certain colors with meaning (or we would be road kill by now).   view more (2007-03-15)

Loss of gene leads to protein splicing and buildup of toxic proteins in neurons
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville have discovered how loss of a gene can lead to accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, resulting in a common dementia, and they say this mechanism may be important in a number of age-related neurological disorders.   view more (2007-09-28)

Water-diffusion technology identifies brain regions damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD.   view more (2008-07-21)

New technology helping foster the 'democratization of cartography'
Mark Harrower recalls a raging debate in his field in the 1970s, when some geographers worried that commercial map-making software would trigger the demise of cartography.   view more (2006-09-21)

Seabird Ammonia Emissions Contribute to Atmospheric Acidity
Ammonia emissions from seabirds have been shown to be a significant source of nitrogen in remote coastal ecosystems, contributing to nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) and acidification in ecosystems.   view more (2008-09-23)

The Nose Knows: Two Fixation Points Needed for Face Recognition
Many of us are bad at remembering names but we are very quick to point out that at least we never forget a face.   view more (2008-10-21)

UBC scientist unveils secret of newborn's first words
A new study could explain why "daddy" and "mommy" are often a baby's first words - the human brain may be hard-wired to recognize certain repetition patterns.   view more (2008-08-27)

Depression and anxiety improve after epilepsy surgery
Depression and anxiety are common problems for people whose epilepsy cannot be controlled by medication. A new study found that depression and anxiety improve significantly after epilepsy surgery.   view more (2005-12-13)

Epsilon4 allele carriers show altered brain activity before onset of Alzheimer's symptoms
Healthy individuals who are at risk of Alzheimer's disease show reduced activity in the hippocampal region of the brain when performing tasks related to forming new memories.   view more (2006-01-13)

2000 meters deep in Antarctic ice
European ice core drilling project at Kohnen station retrieves old ice for climate research. At the Kohnen station operated by Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar- and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, the international drilling team reached a depth of 2000 meters on January 7 at 0210 hours. The ice... view more (2004-01-08)

The Lancet Neurology October Issue
Mental health bill or public order-cause for concern Can we predict whether an individual with a severe personality disorder will commit murder? Should compulsory treatment in the community be introduced? In a draft mental health bill, which was under consultation until September 16, the UK... view more (2002-09-13)

Link discovered between depression and changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease
A lifetime history of depression is associated with increased plaques and tangles in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease and more rapid cognitive decline, according to a study by researchers at the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.   view more (2006-02-07)

Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron.   view more (2006-04-04)

Daytime light exposure dynamically enhances brain responses
Exposure to light is known to enhance both alertness and performance in humans, but little is understood regarding the neurological basis for these effects, especially those associated with daytime light exposure.   view more (2006-08-22)

You're more likely to do sport if you are white, middle class, and middle-aged

If the diabetes has a direct carcinogenetic effect?
The association of DM2 with solid tumors, and particularly with HCC, has been long suspected and several studies have reported increased mortality rates for neoplastic diseases in patients with DM2.   view more (2008-10-29)

Potent urine gets the girl
Scientists at the Centre of Marine Sciences (University of the Algarve) have discovered that female tilapia fish are highly sensitive to the smell of male tilapia urine during courtship, especially a territorial male's more potent urine. As Drs. Eduardo Barata and Peter Hubbard, the project's... view more (2003-03-26)

Post-mortem brain studies reveal features of mild cognitive impairment
The brains of patients with mild cognitive impairment display pathologic features that appear to place them at an intermediate stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, although some patients with mild cognitive impairment develop other types of dementia.   view more (2006-05-09)

The clustering of Hox genes, involved in the determination of body segments, is not necessary for their proper function
The Hox genes (also known as homeotic genes) play a crucial role in the development of animals, being involved in the determination of segment identity along the body axis. These genes were discovered in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster 90 years ago and have been found later in all animals,... view more (2005-05-02)

Solving the mystery of the Tibetan Plateau
A University of Alberta physicist who helped solve the age-old mystery of what keeps afloat the highest plateau on earth has added more pieces to the Tibetan puzzle. Dr. Martyn Unsworth has uncovered new research about the Tibetan Plateau-an immense region that for years has plagued scientists... view more (2005-11-04)
