1. Brain networks strengthened by closing ion channels
   04-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Yale School of Medicine and University of Crete School of Medicine researchers report in Cell April 20 the first evidence of a molecular mechanism that dynamically alters the strength of higher brain network connections involved in working memory. This discovery may help the development of drug therapies for the cognitive deficits of normal aging, and for cognitive changes in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

   04-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Three billion years of evolution can't be wrong and scientists are observing Nature’s own adaptations to find solutions to human problems. This relatively new field of Biology is called Biomimetics and Biologists have been investigating its application to fabric development, new structural materials, even behaviour in organisations and education. Researchers will meet to present their latest progress at the Society for Experimental Biology's Annual Main Meeting in Glasgow.

    11-29-2006 · EurekAlert!
    Many people don't fully understand the seemingly simple label instructions on their prescription medication, according to a Northwestern University study of low-income patients. Nearly half of the patients in the study misinterpreted at least one or more out of the five prescription labels they were shown.
