Light-activated compound silences nerves, may one day help epileptics

Brain activity has been compared to a light bulb turning on in the head. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have reversed this notion, creating a drug that stops brain activity when a light shines on it.

1. Brown scientists explain inception of perception in the brain
   03-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   All of human sensation -- sight, sound, taste -- begins in the brain when information moves from the thalamus to the neocortex. In Nature Neuroscience, Brown University researchers explain how cortical cells get activated during this critical transfer. The findings shed light on the inner workings of the cortex, the biggest part of the brain, and may help explain some forms of irregular electrical brain activity such as epileptic seizures.

7. Human stem cells delay start of Lou Gehrig's disease in rats
   10-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that transplanting human stem cells into spinal cords of rats bred to duplicate Lou Gehrig's disease delays the start of nerve cell damage typical of the disease and slightly prolongs life. The grafted stem cells develop into nerve cells that make substantial connections with existing nerves and do not themselves succumb to Lou Gehrig's, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study is published in this week's issue of Transplantation.

   The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has nerves on its left and right sides that perform different functions. Now, researchers at The Rockefeller University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute show that this arbitrary "handedness" in two types of olfactory nerve cells is established during development through a previously unseen system.
