Deep inside the brain: Unraveling the dense networks in the cerebral cortex

October 24, 2019 0 Comments Animal Learning and Intelligence, Biology, Brain Tumor, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Intelligence, mice, Nervous System, neuroscience, Psychology Research

Mammalian brains, with their unmatched number of nerve cells and density of communication, are the most complex networks known. While methods to analyze neuronal networks sparsely have been available for decades, the dense mapping of neuronal circuits is a major scientific challenge. Researchers have now succeeded in the dense connectomic mapping of brain tissue from the cerebral cortex, and quantify the possible imprint of learning in the circuit.

Exposure during the first trimester of pregnancy to mixtures of suspected endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in consumer products is related to lower IQ in children by age 7, according to a new study. This study is among the first to look at prenatal suspected endocrine-disrupting chemical mixtures in relation to neurodevelopment.

High-salt diet promotes cognitive impairment through the Alzheimer-linked protein tau

Investigators sought to understand the series of events that occur between salt consumption and poor cognition and concluded that lowering salt intake and maintaining healthy blood vessels in the brain may 'stave off' dementia. Accumulation of tau deposits has been implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease in humans.

Neuroscientists say they have identified how people can have a 'crash in visual processing' — a bottleneck of feed-forward and feedback signals that can cause us not to be consciously aware of stimuli that our brain recognized.

Consuming alcohol leads to epigenetic changes in brain memory centers

October 23, 2019 0 Comments Addiction, Alcoholism, Birth Defects, Heart Disease, Infant's Health, Intelligence, Learning Disorders, Triglycerides

New research revealed a surprising pathway that shows alcohol byproducts travel to the brain to promote addiction memory. They show how acetate travels to the brain's learning system and directly alters proteins the regulate DNA function, impacting how some genes are expressed and ultimately affecting how mice behave when given environmental cues to consume alcohol.

Patients who survive a cerebral hemorrhage may suffer delayed severe brain damage caused by free hemoglobin, which comes from red blood cells and damages neurons. Researchers have now discovered a protective protein in the body called haptoglobin, which prevents this effect.
