- Experience affects new neuron survival in adult brain; study sheds light on learning, memory
03-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Experience in the early development of new neurons in specific brain regions affects their survival and activity in the adult brain, new research shows. How these new neurons store information about these experiences may explain how they can affect learning and memory in adults.

- New brain cells listen before they talk
10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Newly-created neurons in adults rely on signals from distant brain regions to regulate their maturation and survival -- which has implications for using adult stem cells to replace those lost by trauma or neurodegeneration.

- UCLA scientists identify new genetic link to autism
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
UCLA scientists used language onset -- the age when a child speaks his first word -- as a tool for identifying a new gene linked to autism. The team also discovered that the gene is most active in developing brain regions involved with language and thought. Interestingly, evidence for the genetic link came from the DNA of families with autistic boys, not those with autistic girls.

- UCSF stem cell study reveals cells' capability in mouse brain tissue repair
12-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
UCSF scientists have determined that adult stem cells in a specific region of the mouse brain have a built-in mechanism that allows the cells to participate in the repair and remodeling of damaged tissue in the region.

- Study discovers link between increased white matter and poor motor skills in children with autism
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study published in the August issue of the journal Brain demonstrates, for the first time, an association between increased white matter volume and functional impairment in children with autism. Findings from researchers at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Md., reveal that in children with autism, increased white matter volume in the motor region of the brain predicts poorer motor skills.

- New adult brain cells may be central to lifelong learning
05-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
The steady formation of new brain cells in adults may represent more than merely a patching up of aging brains, a new study has shown. The new adult brain cells may serve to give the adult brain the same kind of learning ability that young brains have while still allowing the existing, mature circuitry to maintain stability.

- The aging brain: Failure to communicate
12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers has shown that normal aging disrupts communication between different regions of the brain. The new research, which used advanced medical imaging techniques to look at the brain function of 93 healthy individuals from 18 to 93 years old, shows that this decline happens even in the absence of serious pathologies like Alzheimer's disease.

- Overeating and obesity triggered by lack of BDNF
12-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Neuroscience researchers demonstrate for the first time that brain-derived neurotrophic factor is an essential component of neural circuits which regulate body weight in adult mice and that its expression in two particular brain regions is required to suppress appetite.

- Research may unlock mystery of autism's origin in the brain
08-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the first study of its kind, researchers have discovered that in autistic individuals, connections between brain cells may be deficient within single regions, and not just between regions, as was previously believed.
