2. Vaccine thwarts the tangles of Alzheimer's
   08-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study by NYU Medical Center researchers shows for the first time that the immune system can combat the pathological form of tau protein, a key protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The researchers, led by Einar Sigurdsson Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry and pathology at New York University School of Medicine, created a vaccine in mice that suppresses aggregates of tau. The protein accumulates into harmful tangles in the memory center of the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

3. Neural stem cell study reveals mechanism that may play role in cancer
   09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In the dynamic world of the developing brain, neural stem cells give rise to neurons deep within the brain’s fluid-filled ventricles. These newborn neurons then migrate along the stem cell fibers up to the neocortex, the seat of higher cognitive functions. Now, scientists have discovered a key mechanism of this migration -- one that may also play an important role in other developmental processes and diseases, including cancer.

5. How parents react to material hardship found to be key to how income affects children
   02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Research drawing from the "Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999" challenges the accepted finding that family income is directly associated with parental stress. The study found that parents who make more money can better provide more cognitively stimulating materials, and that material hardship can lead to parental depression and conflict. These effects in turn may cause parents to show less affection towards children, who then may become depressed or misbehave.

   Whenever we shift our gaze, attention is directed to a new target. This shift in attention causes a brief compression of visual space, according to a study published Feb. 15 in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. Researchers show a direct correlation between visual perception and eye movement control.
