Discovery May Explain Why Brain Cancer Is So Hard to Treat: Cancer cells remake themselves, circumventing drug treatments, study finds
Scripps Research scientists reveal key mechanism governing nicotine addiction
Learn more quickly by transcranial magnetic brain stimulation
Stimulating the brain's immune response may provide treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Memory training explored as strategy for addiction treatment
Mount Sinai researchers identify potential therapeutic target for improving long-term memory -- "IGF-II [insulin-like growth factor II] is enriched in the adult brain in several areas, including the hippocampus and cortex, which are known to be important for memory formation. Researchers injected the hippocampus of rats with the protein and found that IGF-II significantly improved long-term memory. The team also found that IGF-II levels increased after learning, and that when that increase was blocked long-lasting memories could not form."
Modern humans reached Arabia earlier than thought, new artifacts suggest: Humans may have found the Arabian Peninsula as long as 125,000 years ago
