Researchers have shown that infrared and Raman spectroscopy – coupled with statistical analysis – can be used to tell the difference between normal brain tissue and the different tumor types that may arise in this tissue, based on its individual biochemical-cell ‘fingerprint’.
A large study of 70-year-olds born in either 1901-1902, or 1930, provides evidence that the population of 70-year-olds in 2000 did much better on intelligence tests than the 70-year-olds of 1971-72.
An international research team revealed the atomic‐level structure of the human peptidase enzyme meprin β (beta).
If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, then it shouldn’t be surprising that their neural circuits differ....
The carnage evident in disasters like car wrecks or wartime battles is oftentimes mirrored within the bodies of the people...
Boosts Sociability, Quells Repetitiveness – NIH Study National Institutes of Health researchers have reversed behaviors in mice resembling two of...
Scientists have long believed that glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive type of primary brain tumor, begins in glial cells that make up supportive tissue in the brain or in neural stem cells. Researchers found that the tumors can originate from other types of differentiated cells in the nervous system, including cortical neurons.
Researchers have identified the first gene mutation associated with a chronic and often fatal form of neuroblastoma that typically strikes...
A study led by Karolinska Institutet reports for the first time the positive effects of an active vaccine against Alzheimer’s...
Alzheimer Plagues in 3d – Swiss researchers succeeded in generating detailed three-dimensional images of the spatial distribution of amyloid plaques...
Recent findings by an international collaboration including IRCM researchers hold new implications for the pathogenesis of myotonic dystrophy.
Penn Medicine research presented today at the 2012 Alzheimer's Association International Conference shows that an anti-tau treatment called epithilone D (EpoD) was effective in preventing and intervening the progress of Alzheimer's disease in animal models, improving neuron function and cognition, as well as decreasing tau pathology.
