1. Growth factors and environment combine to increase brain maturation
   05-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study showing that growth factors and the environment combine to increase brain maturation appears in the May 30th issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE. The study was conducted by Francesca Ciucci, Elena Putignano, Laura Baroncelli, Silvia Landi, Nicoletta Berardi and Lamberto Maffei, based at the Neurobiology Laboratory of Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa.

2. 3-D fruit fly images to benefit brain research
   09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In a paper published on September 5 in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, a team led by Mary O'Connell of the MRC Human Genetics Unit describe how they have already used an imaging technique called optical projection tomography (OPT) to image individual cavities within the brain of an aging fly and see the brain deteriorate. The OPT images could help to speed up genetic research into Alzheimer's and other human diseases affecting brain cells.

3. Sense of taste different in women with anorexia nervosa
   09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Although anorexia nervosa is categorized as an eating disorder, it is not known whether there are alterations of the portions of the brain that regulates appetite. Now, a new study finds that women with anorexia have distinct differences in the insulta -- the specific part of the brain that is important for recognizing taste -- according to a new study by University of Pittsburgh and UCSD researchers currently online in advance of publication in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.

4. Feeling sleepy is all in your genes
   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Genes responsible for our 24-hour body clock influence not only the timing of sleep, but also appear to be central to the actual restorative process of sleep, according to research published in the online open access journal BMC Neuroscience. The study identified changes in the brain that lead to the increased desire and need for sleep during time spent awake.

5. Left brain helps hear through the noise
   11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Our brain is very good at picking up speech even in a noisy room, an adaptation essential for holding a conversation at a cocktail party, and now we are beginning to understand the neural interactions that underlie this ability. An international research team reports today, in the online open-access journal BMC Biology, how investigations using neuroimaging have revealed that the brain's left hemisphere helps discern the signal from the noise.

6. Cholesterol-lowering drugs and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke
   12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   People taking cholesterol-lowering drugs such as atorvastatin after a stroke may be at an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding in the brain, a risk not found in patients taking statins who have never had a stroke. The research is published in the Dec. 12, 2007, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

7. Sleep chemical central to effectiveness of deep brain stimulation
   12-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A brain chemical that makes us sleepy also appears to play a central role in the success of deep brain stimulation to ease symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and other brain disorders. The surprising finding is outlined in a paper published online Dec. 23 in Nature Medicine.

8. New study finds blood-spinal cord barrier compromised in mice with ALS
   11-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The blood-spinal cord barrier is functionally impaired in areas of motor neuron damage in mice modeling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, report researchers at the University of South Florida Center for Aging and Brain Repair. The barrier disruption was found in mice at both early and late stages of ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The study appears in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE.

9. Research suggests why scratching is so relieving
   01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
   In the first study to use imaging technology to see what goes on in the brain when we scratch, researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have uncovered new clues about why scratching may be so relieving -- and why it can be hard to stop. The work is reported online in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, and will appear in a future print issue.

10. BCM, Rice scientists map flu's chemical key
    10-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University have developed the first 3D, molecular map of the protein that allows influenza B to infect healthy cells with viral DNA. The research appears online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. By studying influenza B, which affects only humans, researchers hope to shed light on the genetic mutations that would allow bird flu to spread among humans.
