A new biomarker for the aging brain
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have identified changes in the aging brain related to blood circulation. Published in the scientific journal Brain, the study found that natural age-related enlargement of the ventricles—a condition called ventriculomegaly—was associated with a lag in blood drainage from a specific deep region of […]
People aged 95 and over show stronger brain connectivity
World-first research led by neuroimaging expert Dr. Jiyang Jiang at UNSW’s Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) has found that those aged 95 and over demonstrated more activation between the left and ride side of their brain than their younger counterparts. Given the prevalence of dementia increases with age, near-centenarians and centenarians without dementia are […]
New contrast agent for early diagnosis of brain metastases
A group of researchers led by Leif Schroeder from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut fuer Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) have found a way to detect metastases in certain types of cancer in the brain at an early stage, using only minimal amounts of contrast agent. To this end, the team uses a synthetic molecule that helps to detect the […]
Probing the genes that organize early brain development
When brains begin developing, there are a lot of moving parts—and when mutations happen in early neurodevelopment, it can lead to disorders like macrocephaly and autism. But scientists don’t know much about the ways that development goes askew, particularly in humans. That’s why Wei Zhang, a postdoctoral scholar and research associate at USC’s Center for […]
Finding new clues to brain cancer treatment
Glioblastoma is an aggressive, killer disease. While victims of this fast-moving brain tumor comprise only about 15% of all people with brain cancer, its victims rarely survive more than a few years after diagnosis. But research scientists and doctors from the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Case School of Engineering and Cleveland Clinic […]
Brain measurements reveal success of public health campaigns
By studying how our brains “synchronize” during shared experiences, Konstanz researchers are shedding light on what makes public health campaigns effective—and in the process paving the way to revealing the neural underpinnings of group processes. Mass media messages form a backbone of public health campaigns. Through web and social media, television, radio, magazines and posters, […]
Children's brain surgeon JAY JAYAMOHAN recalls cry of a father
‘You’re trying to murder our baby!’: Top children’s brain surgeon JAY JAYAMOHAN recalls the agonising cry of a father whose little boy was slipping away Jay Jayamohan is consultant paediatric neurosurgeon at John Radcliffe Hospital Young boy was hit by a car and unconscious and scans showed his brain was shot Swelling in the brain causes […]
Patterns in the brain shed new light on how we function
The patterns created by neurons in the brain can be used to shine a light on how the brain functions, and take us a step closer to creating intelligent robots, scientists claim. Publishing their research today in PLoS Computational Biology, the international team from the universities of Newcastle and Zurich, ETH Zurich and the California […]
Study offers new insight into brain connectivity
A new framework for understanding changes in the brain’s activity and connections, which has implications for how to best model the mechanisms of disease in the brain, has been developed by Georgia State University researchers and collaborators. The study builds on previous work showing that shape and connectivity of brain networks—discrete areas of the brain […]
