Exhibit Delves into Science of Taste and Smell
An exhibit at San Francisco's Exploratorium explains the science of cooking and eating, and in particular how we taste food. Our sense of taste comes from a combination of smell receptors in the nose ... > 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 -
Interventional Neuroradiologists Treat Brain Strokes with New Kind of Stent
A new "wingspan" stent helps restore blood flow for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease, or ICAD. Surgeons insert the stent up the leg arteries, guide it to the brain, then let its ... > more -
Neurologists Combine Electric Stimuli with Excercise to Reverse Paralysis
Paraplegic patients who still have some active nerve endings in their legs can find major improvements with a new therapy. During rehabilitation on a bicycle, special pads send electrical pulses that ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Develop Glove That Translates Sign Language
A new high-tech glove enables the translation of sign language into written text, facilitating communication for the hearing or speech impaired. The glove senses movements of the hand and fingers, ... > more -
Psychiatrists Can Predict Onset of Alzheimer's with New EEG Test
Using new computer software that analyzes EEG data, psychiatrists can now better distinguish early signs of Alzheimer's from normal aging, by spotting marked differences between the left and right ... > more -
Scientists Show Blue Light Can Help Reset Sleep Cycle
Teenagers' morning drowsiness is often caused by out-of-tune body clocks, in a condition known as "delayed sleep phase syndrome." Scientists now say that timing exposure to blue light -- avoiding it ... > more -
Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
Building upon a recent discovery that the same Alzheimer's disease process that goes on in the brain also occurs in the eye, researchers have developed a pair of optical tests that can determine the ... > more -
Cardiologists Employ Biomedical Engineering to Safeguard Heart Patients
To prevent strokes in at-risk patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm, researchers have devised a mechanical alternative to common drug treatments. In the procedure, ... > more
