Unusual features of the brains of Einstein could explain their cognitive abilities
A recent study confirms and extends what is already suspected for over half a century: that Albert Einstein's brain was not physically like most people. It was verified that some parts of Einstein's brain was different from most people, and it ...

Better system with mind control a computer cursor
When a person with paralysis imagines hard enough action to move a limb, there are cells in the part of the brain that controls movement, still activated as if trying to make the limb immobile realizes planned movement, although neurological ...

Spread of Alzheimer’s disease by toxic proteins transferred from neuron to neuron
The inexorable spread of Alzheimer's disease through the brain is leaving behind dead neurons and memory loss. Researchers at Linkoping University in Sweden, delving into a promising line of research have failed to show for the first time how certain ...

Discovery of the mechanism that controls the growth of axons
For the transmission of nerve impulses that carry out the neurons to be effective, they must be properly connected to the brain regions susceptible to receiving their messages. An investigation of the National Research Council (CSIC) (Spain) has discovered a ...

Generate images in the brain, a way to give vision to blind
When a person closes his eyes, there can form mental images of things that exist only in your mind. A team of neuroscientists who have studied this phenomenon believe that there may be a way to use these mental images ...

Eye and brain abnormalities in astronauts who have spent much time in space
Space motion sickness is the most common effect on short-term space travelers, but often stops spontaneously, even without having returned to Earth. In longer stays in space, other effects are triggered. Among these, the best known and, in principle, the ...

The mechanism by which the lead wreaks havoc in the brain

The mechanism by which the lead wreaks havoc in the brain
Lead exposure causes severe brain damage, with consequences that include reduced intelligence quotient (IQ) and reduced learning potential. However, the exact mechanism by which lead alters brain cells was largely unknown. New research, for which they have used advanced techniques ...
