Research links 'ecstasy' to survival of key movement-related cells in brain
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) suggests that the widely abused club drug "ecstasy," or MDMA, can increase the survival of dopamine cells in the brain during fetal development. view more (2006-10-19)
Einstein scientists discover cause and possible treatments for hereditary movement disorder
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered the underlying cause of a type of ataxia, hereditary disorders characterized by poor balance, loss of posture and difficulty performing rapid coordinated movement. view more (2006-03-02)
Researchers isolate causes of cognitive loss following coronary artery bypass surgery
Minimizing trauma to the body's largest artery - the aorta - during heart bypass surgery can significantly reduce cognitive loss that often follows the operation. view more (2006-01-23)
Big Bang theory saved
An apparent discrepancy in the Big Bang theory of the universe's evolution has been reconciled by astrophysicists examining the movement of gases in stars. view more (2006-10-27)
Movement of Earth's North Magnetic Pole Accelerating Rapidly
After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth's North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from northern Canada to Siberia within the next half-century. view more (2005-12-12)
MIT makes move toward vehicles that morph
Picture a bird, effortlessly adjusting its wings to catch every current of air. Airplanes that could do the same would have many advantages over today's flying machines, including increased fuel efficiency. view more (2006-03-23)
New Target Found to Fight, Treat Parkinson's
Neuroscientists from the University at Buffalo have described for the first time how rotenone, an environmental toxin linked specifically to Parkinson's disease, selectively destroys the neurons that produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter critical to body movement and muscle control. view more (2005-08-25)
MIT develops 'Anklebot' for stroke patients
Clinical trials have already shown that an MIT robotic arm can help stroke patients regain movement faster. Now MIT pioneers in the field of robotic therapy are hoping a robotic gym full of machines targeted at different parts of the body will significantly improve stroke patients' movement in arms, wrists, hands, legs and ankles. view more (2005-07-06)
New Guidelines Improve Diagnosis and Quality of Life for People with Parkinson Disease
New guidelines developed by the American Academy of Neurology aim to educate physicians on the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson disease and provide people with Parkinson disease an improved quality of life. view more (2006-04-03)
Earth's core rotates faster than its crust, scientists say
Scientists have ended a 9-year-old debate by proving that Earth's core rotates faster than its surface, by about 0.3 to 0.5 degree per year. view more (2005-08-26)
Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to explaining the earliest moments of our Universe. view more (2005-07-21)
Electron filmed for first time ever
Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. view more (2008-02-25)
Robotic exoskeleton replaces muscle work
A robotic exoskeleton controlled by the wearer's own nervous system could help users regain limb function, which is encouraging news for people with partial nervous system impairment, say University of Michigan researchers. view more (2007-02-12)
New 'eye movement' test may help treat fetal alcohol syndrome
A simple test that measures eye movement may help to identify children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and ultimately lead to improved treatment for the condition, say Queen's University researchers. view more (2005-11-14)
Study uses stream fish as indicators of water quality
For many years, regulatory agencies have used chemical standards to assess water quality. view more (2005-11-01)
Learned motor programs directly influence the visual perception of movements
When novel movements are learned-for example, in sports-visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. view more (2006-01-10)
Scientists step closer to realising invisible technology
A unique computer model designed by a mathematician at the University of Liverpool has shown that it is possible to make objects, such as aeroplanes and submarines, appear invisible at close range. view more (2007-05-04)
Bugs expose underground carbon traffic system 10 times more important than fossil fuel burning
The flow of carbon through soil is ten times greater than the amount of carbon moved around by the burning of fossil fuel but until now how this happens was at best poorly understood. view more (2005-10-10)
Nano-machines achieve huge mechanical breakthrough
A major advance in nanotechnology with far-reaching potential benefits in medicine and other fields is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin. view more (2005-09-07)
Transplanted brain cells hold promise for Parkinson's disease
Transplanted neural stem cells hold promise for reducing the destruction of dopaminergic cells that occurs in Parkinson's disease and for replacing cells lost to the disease, scientists say. view more (2006-12-05)
