Pinpointing Problems In The Brain
Doctors are now using a new
kind of brain scan called
magnetoencephalography
(MEG), which measures brain
activity in real time. In
some cases, MEG can pinpoint
the source of an epileptic

The Taste Gene
In the first study to link
taste genes to behavior in
children, researchers looked
at how natural variations in
a recently discovered taste
gene affected sensitivity to
bitter tastes and food
preferences in a group of

Diagnosing Alzheimer's Early
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

Brain's Puberty Switch
Researchers have discovered
the precise chemical chain
reaction that could be the
much-sought-after puberty
trigger: The KiSS-1 gene,
which produces a protein in
the hypothalamus, a part of
the brain, which regulates
