We make new neurons every day in our brain
What our compound does in allow more of them to survive.
The compound is called P7C3 for now, and the researchers have already started tweaking it to make it more effective. They said it seems safe and appears to work even when taken as a pill.
The compound is similar to Medivation Inc and Pfizer Incs [...]
It also opens potential new ways finding and developing
We now recognize that these synapse proteins are the molecular basis of many brain diseases, he told reporters before presenting his findings at the Forum for European Neuroscience in Amsterdam on Monday. We know of no other molecular structure which is responsible for more brain diseasesso we think its a major discovery.
Grants team used a [...]
If can identify people who are particularly high risk
If we give them a better start, they may encounter the illness in a more positive way and not get quite so ill.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by mental, behavioral and neurological illnesses such as schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD, depression, epilepsy and dementia.
Many people who go on to develop diverse [...]
The finding opens way for revival controversial
The finding opens the way for a revival of the controversial and unpredictable procedure, which was halted in the mid-1990s after many patients suffered bouts of serious sudden and uncontrolled movements.
Researchers from Britain and Sweden have found that the sudden movements, called dyskinesias, which are a common side effect of treatment for Parkinsons disease, are [...]
The findings were culled from a large
When you look at them all independently, they are all useful for predicting conversion to Alzheimers disease and decline, said Susan Landau of the University of California, Berkeley, whose study appears in the journal Neurology.
The novel thing we did was put them all together in the same statistical model and compared them to see which [...]
They found way interpret real time brain images show
The scans were more accurate than the volunteers were, Emily Falk and colleagues at the University of California Los Angeles reported in the Journal of Neuroscience.
We are trying to figure out whether there is hidden wisdom that the brain contains, Falk said in a telephone interview.
Many people decide to do things, but then dont do [...]
While some grownups may experience delayed
One of the things we worry about when we see children whove had a fall and hit their head is whether weve missed something serious, said Dr. David Johnson of the University of Calgary in Canada, who worked on the new study, published in the journal Pediatrics.
That worry became very real to him, he said, [...]
Aura Migraines In Mid-life Women Linked to Brain Adjustments Later
The women were almost twice as likely to show small areas called lesions in the brains cerebellum, which controls motor activities and balance, than women who didnt have headaches, according to research published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Men in the study who had aura migraines in mid-life didnt show a [...]
Healthbeat: Scientists Studying Possible Protection For Babies Brains If Moms-to-be Drink
The only help today: intense behavioral or educational therapies once children with fetal alcohol-caused disabilities reach preschool or school age, says new research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency is spending $1.5 million this year to start spreading those programs so more youngsters can find care.
Better would be discovering a way [...]
Scientists Uncover Culprit In Huntingtons Disease
The discovery may provide a long-awaited target for developing treatments for the incurable killer – and also may have ramifications for more common brain diseases like Alzheimers.
“Up until now, nobody had the vaguest notion of what was the cause of the brain damage and the death,” said Dr. Solomon Snyder of Johns Hopkins University, whose [...]
