Baby Treadmill
Kinesiologsts developed a
tiny treadmill to help
infants with Down Syndrome
learn to balance themselves
earlier. Typically, these
children learn how to walk
at 24 to 28 months, later
than the 12 months for those

Pill To Fight Alcoholism
Neuropharmacologists ran
clinical trials to find that
a drug called topiramate is
an effective therapeutic
medication for decreasing
heavy drinking and
diminishing the physical and

Learn To Read Through Sound
Cognitive neuroscientists
monitoring brain activity
with fMRI found that
children with dyslexia are
often unable to process the
fast-changing sounds used in
spoken language. Sound

Lost And Found
Cognitive scientists ran an
experiment to understand how
the brain searches for an
object with a known shape.
They asked subjects to track
the movement of dots, and
used fMRI to see which parts
of the brain activated. The

Electrical Engineers Create Voice-controlled Mouse
Computer scientists worked with electrical engineers to move the cursor on a computer screen with the userýs voice instead of a mouse. Software interprets vocal commands to move the cursor, ... > more -
Radiologists Use Light To Scan The Inner Workings Of The Brain
Radiologists have developed a new device to understand brain activity. It is a collection of fiber optic cables attached to a flexible cap placed atop the head. The cables send near-infrared light ... > more -
Neurologists Use GPS For The Brain As Guide In Surgery
Neurosurgeons' jobs are made easier by a 3-D CT scan produced by an advanced imaging system. It produces a computerized image of blood vessels and surrounding soft tissue, which can be rotated for ... > more -
Computer Scientists Devise Tool For Visualizing Single Organs
With MRI or CT scans, clinicians have to identify and extract the anatomy out of cross-sections views of the body. Computer scientists have created a new interactive tool that can examine scans and ... > more -
Doppler Sonography Helps Psychologists Measure Attention Levels
Psychologists are finding out that even when people try to focus on a task they tend to lose concentration within 40 minutes, and sometimes as little as 10 minutes. The studies are based on a new ... > more -
Colors Are Key To Keeping Your Eyes On The Game

Psychiatrists Can Now Predict An Individual Patient's Response To A Drug
The first in a new generation of gene microarrays, computer chips that chemically or electrically express DNA, can predict how a person's body will metabolize about 25 percent of drugs on the market, ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
A new brain-imaging method allows physicians to diagnose Alzheimer's before its onset. A radioactive dye is injected in the blood and travels to the brain, where it attaches to plaque deposits of ... > more -
Neurosurgeons Cut Surgical Procedure Time with New Device
In a method called deep brain stimulation, certain movement disorders are treated by implanting wires in the brain that deliver electrical signals. The surgical procedure can last up to eight hours, ... > more -
Neurosurgeon Devises MRI-Based Technique to Diagnose Sciatica
Up to 40 million American suffer from sciatica pains, but the condition is often not diagnosed correctly. A new imaging technique uses a specially tuned MRI scan to image nerves and highlight them ... > more
