Adaptable Decision Making in the Brain
June 19, 2012 — Researchers have discovered how a part of the brain helps predict future events from past experiences. The work sheds light on the function of the front-most part of the frontal lobe, known as the ... > full story -
New Cerebellar Ataxia Gene Identified in Dogs
June 18, 2012 — Researchers have identified the genetic cause of early-onset progressive cerebellar degeneration the Finnish Hound dog breed. The study revealed a new disease mechanism in cerebellar degeneration. A ... > full story -
Controlling Hand Movements : Manipulation of Specific Neural Circuit Buried in Complicated Brain Networks in Primates
June 17, 2012 — Scientists have developed "the double viral vector transfection technique," which can deliver genes to a specific neural circuit by combining two new kinds of gene transfer vectors. With this method, ... > full story -
New Surgery May Reverse Hand Paralysis
June 15, 2012 — A reconstructive neurosurgeon has pioneered a novel technique to restore hand function in patients with spinal cord injury. In a delicate four-hour procedure, he splices together tiny nerve endings, ... > full story -
Musical Brain Patterns Could Help Predict Epileptic Seizures
June 15, 2012 — New insights into the electrical patterns of the brain reveal how brain waves with rapidly increasing frequencies, like musical 'glissandi,' could help predict when a patient is going to start an ... > full story -
