The reason for the placement of lesions in the brain as well as how they develop in the first place was recently explained by a study led by Stevens Institute of Technology researchers. The study has been published in the ‘Scientific Reports Journal’. The work, led by Johannes Weickenmeier, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, […]

Researcher finds way to manipulate memories in brain
When you receive an important file to work on, you keep it safe to remember about it. Similarly, our memories first land in one part of our brain and then shift to another for long-term storage. This process is known as memory consolidation. Kyoto University’s Akihiro Goto researched this process […]

Scientists indentify viruses in human genes that damage brain development
As new study has been able to prove for the first time that activation of distinct human endogenous retroviruses, which are part of our genome, impair brain development dramatically. The findings of the study, which is originated from an international collaboration led by researchers at Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen – German Research Center for Environmental Health, could help […]

Research shows some genes come to life in the brain after death
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago analyzed gene expression in fresh brain tissue and found that gene expression in some cells actually increased after death. In the hours after we die, certain cells in the human brain are still active. Some cells even increase their activity and grow to gargantuan proportions, according to new research from the […]
