| Mild Hearing Loss Leaves Lasting Impact On Neurological Processes
August 31, 2007 04:00:00Mild to moderate forms of hearing loss can have a lasting impact on the auditory cortex, according to new findings. The results showed that the projection to auditory cortex had changed following a brief period of hearing loss. Specifically, the researchers found that the synaptic response of the auditory neurons adapted more rapidly and to a greater extent. They also found that auditory cortex neurons became more sensitive to stimulation. - [Read more] |
| Fruit Flies Prefer Fizzy Drinks
August 31, 2007 04:00:00That fruit fly hovering over your kitchen counter may be attracted to more than the bananas that are going brown; it may also want a sip of your carbonated water. Scientists have found that fruit flies detect and are attracted to the taste of carbonated water, such as water found on rotting fruits containing yeast. This finding raises the question of whether taste in humans may be more complex than scientists have thought. - [Read more] |

| Brains Impaired Ability To Sense Glucose Might Play Role In Type 2 Diabetes
August 30, 2007 04:00:00Defects in the brains ability to respond to glucose play a role in the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes, according to recent research in mice. Also a high-fat diet may contribute to impairing brain cells ability to regulate glucose throughout the body. The newly discovered mechanism is related to how the body uses fuels circulating in the bloodstream. Glucose is among these fuels and is, in part, derived from foods consumed. It is used by the body to make a molecule called ATP, which provides energy to cells. - [Read more] |
| Household Mold Linked To Depression
August 30, 2007 04:00:00A groundbreaking public health study has found a connection between damp, moldy homes and depression. The scientists said the findings came as a complete surprise. This was a large study, analyzing data from 5,882 adults in 2,982 households. Molds are toxins, and some research has indicated that these toxins can affect the nervous system or the immune system or impede the function of the frontal cortex, the part of the brain that plays a part in impulse control, memory, problem solving, sexual behavior, socialization and spontaneity. - [Read more] |
| Brain Implants Relieve Alzheimers Damage
August 30, 2007 04:00:00Genetically engineered cells implanted in mice have cleared away toxic plaques associated with Alzheimers disease. The animals were sickened with a human gene that caused them to develop, at an accelerated rate, the disease that robs millions of elderly people of their memories. After receiving the doctored cells, the brain-muddling plaques melted away. If this works in humans, old age could be a much happier time of life. - [Read more] |
