Research shows that recovery from deep anesthesia is not a smooth, linear process but is instead a dynamic journey with specific states of activity the brain must temporarily occupy on the way to full recovery.

Game technology teaches mice, men to hear better in noisy environments
June 9, 2014 by NewsBot - No Comment
A new type of game has been programmed that trained both mice and humans to enhance their ability to discriminate soft sounds in noisy backgrounds. Their findings suggest new therapeutic options for clinical populations that receive little benefit from…

Specific gene linked to adult growth of brain cells, learning, memory
June 9, 2014 by NewsBot - No Comment
Stimulating a specific gene could prompt growth – in adults – of new neurons in this critical region, leading to faster learning and better memories, researchers report. Understanding the link between this gene and the growth of new neurons – or …

Depression in the elderly linked to Alzheimer’s risk
June 9, 2014 by NewsBot - No Comment
Many people develop depression in the latest stages of life, but until now doctors had no idea that it could point to a build up of a naturally occurring protein in the brain called beta-amyloid, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, late-life de…

Tangled path of Alzheimer’s-linked brain cells mapped in mice
June 9, 2014 by NewsBot - No Comment
By studying laboratory mice, scientists have succeeded in plotting the labyrinthine paths of some of the largest nerve cells in the mammalian brain: cholinergic neurons, the first cells to degenerate in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Cholinergic neur…
