BRAIN TRANSPLANT LETS RECORDED MEMORIES BE PLAYED BACK
Neuron transplant repairs brain circuitry and normalized function in mice unable to respond to leptin, a hormone that regulates metabolism and controls body weight thus preventing the mice from becoming morbidly obese. Continue reading
Statins May Protect Brain After Head Trauma And Stroke
A national study suggests that statins may make traumatic brain injury and stroke much more survivable for older adults. Further, seniors on a statin at the time of moderate-to-severe head trauma were 76% less likely to die in hospital were also 13% more likely to have a good functional recovery at 12 months following injury. Continue reading
