Researchers from Inserm, CNRS and the Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, in collaboration with Cambridge university, Strasbourg university and clinical practitioners from the Strasbourg University Hospital Centre, have analyzed data from 17 comatose patients using functional MRI data. Their research reveals that the brain networks of these patients have been restructured. The results, published in PNAS on Nov. 26, 2012, could help clinical practitioners diagnose comatose patients. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-radical-brain-networks-comatose-patients.html Neuroscience Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:46:54 EST news273847603 Brain networks may avoid traffic jams at their busiest intersections by communicating on different frequencies, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the University Medical Center at Hamburg-Eppendorf and the University of Tübingen have learned. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-multiple-thought-channels-brain-traffic.html Neuroscience Sun, 06 May 2012 13:00:01 EST news255508006 Scientist studying the way Alzheimer's takes root in the brain have identified important new similarities between a mouse model and human Alzheimer's. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-alzheimer-plaques-disrupt-brain-networks.html Alzheimer's disease & dementia Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:27:27 EST news254136408 (Medical Xpress) -- Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a simple mathematical model of the brain which provides a remarkably complete statistical account of the complex web of connections between various brain regions.  Their findings have been published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-wiring-brain.html Neuroscience Fri, 13 Apr 2012 07:53:15 EST news253522371 A new technique which lets scientists 'see' our brain waves at work could revolutionise our understanding of the human body’s most complex organ and help transform the lives of people suffering from schizophrenia and ADHD. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-09-scientists-brain.html Neuroscience Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:39:20 EST news235823947
