- 'Junk' DNA now looks like powerful regulator, Stanford researcher finds
04-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Large swaths of garbled human DNA once dismissed as junk appear to contain some valuable sections, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-Santa Cruz. The scientists propose that this redeemed DNA plays a role in controlling when genes turn on and off.

- Carnegie Mellon University-led team conducts most detailed cosmological simulation to date
06-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself. The model explains for the first time observed phenomena and promises to deliver deeper insights into our understanding of galaxy formation and the role of black holes throughout cosmic history. The results were generated by an international team of investigators.

- In fruit flies, homosexuality is biological but not hard-wired
12-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of neurobiologists led by UIC researcher Dave Featherstone has discovered that homosexuality in fruit flies is controlled by a novel regulator of synapse strength. By harnessing this discovery, the researchers are able to use either genetics or drugs to turn fly homosexual behavior on and off within hours.

- Neuronal circuits able to rewire on the fly to sharpen senses
12-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, a joint project of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, have for the first time described a mechanism called "dynamic connectivity," in which neuronal circuits are rewired "on the fly" allowing stimuli to be more keenly sensed. The process is described in a paper in the January 2008 issue of Nature Neuroscience, and now available online.

- Carnegie Mellon uses new imaging technique to discover differences in brains of people with autism
10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
Using a new form of brain imaging known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), researchers in the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered that the so-called white matter in the brains of people with autism has lower structural integrity than in the brains of normal individuals. This provides further evidence that the anatomical differences characterizing the brains of people with autism are related to the way those brains process information.
