Brain Enters And Leaves States Of Induced Unconsciousness Via Different Processes
Researchers have discovered the brain enters and leaves states of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness through different processes. The study suggests both forward and reverse paths through which induced unconsciousness dissipates and arrives are not identical. Noted was a [Read More]

DUX4 Gene Product May Cause FSHD, A Form of Muscular Dystrophy
New research points to a DNA sequence that causes the DUX4 gene to become more active in producing proteins that are toxic to muscle cells, leading to a form of muscular dystrophy. [Read More]
Pesticides Linked to ADHD and Attention Problems
Scientists have found evidence linking pesticides to attention problems in children. [Read More]
Older Corpus Collosum Crosstalk Slows Response Times
This research shows that the loss of connections in the corpus collosum could be partly responsible for slower response times seen in older animals and humans due to too much crosstalk and confusion between the brain hemispheres. [Read More]
Single Neurons and Dendrites Can Detect Different Input Sequences
UCL neuroscientists have shown that a single neuron, and even a single dendrite, can respond differently to unique sequences of input. [Read More]

Deleting the enzyme PTEN allowed neurology researchers to regenerate corticospinal tract neurons after spinal cord injuries in rodents. [Read More]
Grid Cells Found in Presubiculum and Parasubiculum Important to Navigating Environment
Grid cells have been found in the presubiculum and parasubiculum of the rat brain. [Read More]
Artificial Bee Eyes Show World from Bee’s Point of View
Researchers have developed a camera system that mimics the bee eye. The artificial bee eyes allow the researchers to take images that are believed to be similar to the bee's viewpoint. [Read More]
