NT-020, a combination of nutrients, increased neural stem cell proliferation, neurogenesis and helped improve memory in the aging brains of mice.
Thought control of prosthetic limbs via brain-controlled interfaces will be tested and developed with funding from DARPA. Human subjects will test neural interface systems used to control prosthetic limbs.
Neuroscientists will want to take note of a publication change to the Journal of Neurovirology ( JNV ). Springer will be publishing the Journal of NeuroVirology starting January 2011.
Gut bacteria, previously considered benign, has the ability to alter the immune system of mice enough to affect the rate of Multiple Sclerosis occurance.
Large brains have been correlated with longevity in some animals. Despite many problems created by large brains such as energy consumption and birthing difficulties, species with large brains have been shown to live longer than those with smaller brains.
In what shouldn't be shocking news to neuroscientists, research has shown that mice brains can be altered by switching cages and changing mice environments. This research should serve as a reminder to all scientists to control as many variables as possible during research.
UCL neuroscientists have found evidence that the posterior parietal cortex is the general brain area mostly involved in producing the brain's map of the body in space.
Mice without rods and cones were able to use ipRGCs to detect light and possibly form low acuity images.
Neurobiologists have succeeded in singling out the response of individual fly brain cells to specific movement stimuli.
Researchers at MIT have discovered that Sirtuin1, a protein encoded by the SIRT1 gene, promotes synaptic plasticity and boosts memory.
A new report by UBU has discovered that executives who take fewer risks in business often express more negative emotions than their risk taking counterparts.
Scientists find the chemical P7C3 grows new neuronal growth within the dentate gyrus and improves learning and memory.
