Stress Related Disorders Affect Brain's Processing Of Memory
Published December 4, 2008, 3:12 am, Medical News Today
Researchers using functional MRI (fMRI) have determined that the circuitry in the area of the brain responsible for suppressing memory is dysfunctional in patients suffering from stress-related psychiatric disorders. Results of the study will be presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Brains of low-income children function differently from brains of high-income kids
Published December 3, 2008, 8:38 pm, News-Medical-Net
University of California, Berkeley, researchers have shown for the first time that the brains of low-income children function differently from the brains of high-income kids.
EEGs show brain differences between poor and rich kids
Published December 3, 2008, 6:12 am, EurekAlert!
( University of California - Berkeley ) Prefrontal cortex activity in children from low socioeconomic levels is lower than in similar children from well-off families. The brain differences, documented through EEGs, are dramatic: the prefrontal cortexes of poor kids 9 and 10 years of age react to novel stimuli in the same way as the brain of a stroke victim. The researchers from UC Berkeley and ...

New Study Shows Potential Of Rational Drug Design In Schizophrenia
Published December 1, 2008, 12:11 pm, Medical News Today
In one of the first instances of targeted drug design in psychiatric treatment, University of Pittsburgh researchers have found an experimental agent that shows promise in addressing working memory impairments that occur in the schizophrenia. The study breaks new ground in the strategy used to develop new pharmacological treatments for schizophrenia, explained David Lewis, M.D.

- YouTube - Karl Deisseroth on Cracking the Neural Code: Optogenetics (ChR2 in a left leaning mouse - layer five in the cortex) - bringing together diverse fields of computer science, genetics, neurology, optics, psychology - sounds like a biology talk (and it is), but engineering to signal information (bits, computing - driving excitation with light, fibre optics and action potentials) - learning from pond scum (microbes real good at using light, chloroplasts) - the red, green, blue spectrum - bio-prospectin g (what's out there), reverse-engine ering (having the wiring, we still need to see it work, as a whole, e.g. the nematode worm was decoded years ago, but still not yet understood) and medical applications (without drugs, there's no "dark-act ivation") all over the plastic structure of the cortex (and in the regulating thalamus) - with free moving animals (not isolated in a scanner, or sliced up dead) the functional "meaning& quot; of the firing is observable
