Making Memories Last: Prion-Like Protein Plays Key Role in Storing Long-Term Memories |
- Neuroscience One gene appears to regulate the brain’s ability to form new memories.
When you experience a new event, your brain encodes a memory of it by altering the connections between neurons. This requires turning on many genes in those neurons. Now, MIT neuro...See More

The nervous system is defined by the presence of a special type of cell—the neuron
Clues to what causes compulsive behavior could improve OCD treatments http://goo.gl/5pseZ
By activating a brain circuit that controls compulsive behavior, MIT neuroscientists have shown that they can block a compulsive behavior in mice -- a result that could help researchers develop new treatments for diseases such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette's syndrome.

Multiple sclerosis study reveals how killer t cells learn to recognize nerve fiber
insulators http://goo.gl/XW48l
Misguided killer T cells may be the missing link in sustained tissue damage in the brains and spines of people with multiple sclerosis, findings from the University of Washington reveal. Cytoxic T cells, also known as CD8+ T cells, are white blood cells that normally are in the body’s arsenal to fight disease.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is a progressive disease that attacks the myelin of axons (nerve fibres) in the central nervous system. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the body as if it were a foreign substance

Children exposed to music at home have enhanced development of auditory abilitieshttp://goo.gl/lmnFX
The relation between informal musical activities at home and electrophysiological indices of neural auditory change detection was investigated in 2–3-year-old children. Auditory event-related potentials were recorded in a multi-feature paradigm that included frequency, duration, intensity, direction, gap deviants and attention-catching novel sounds.
