World?s Oldest Woman Had Normal Brain
2008-06-23 21:53:00 A 115-year-old woman who remained mentally alert throughout her life had an essentially normal brain, with little or no evidence of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study in the August issue of Neurobiology of Aging. The findings question the assumption that Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia will inevitably develop, if people live long ...
Brain Food, Anyone?
2008-06-20 08:01:00 While I normally do reviews for food products and the like, I was given the chance to try out several software titles geared toward building and maintaining intelligence. I'll be 40 in August, and while that itself isn't normally a concern as far as memory loss is concerned, I take care of 8 other people daily, and that coupled with age can wreak havoc on your mind.So, I decided I'd accept these games and give them a whirl. I really like these. I've sat here for several hours since I received them and played games, taken tests and learned.I took IQ and Career Aptitude tests and what I really like about them is you don't just get a 'right' or 'wrong' answer; you're actually told what the correct answer is and why. For an inquisitive type like me, that's a huge bonus. It also is fundamental to learning.Beyond Core Mind Builder and Core Mind Builder Pro, I also was able to test a copy of corefx Three Level; FUN! The kids are having a blast with this one. It takes basic compu...
Psilocybin Doesn't Cause Brain Damage
2008-06-20 03:40:00 Told you so.Hell, I've only taken it, what, 30 times or so? It never fried me, or at least I don't think so. I never noticed any long-lasting harm after taking this drug. One time, I had bright colors for about six months after I took it. Another time, I got depressed and sat around alone on Saturday night feeling sorry for myself. Next morning, I woke up and was not depressed anymore.One time, I took some, got in my car, and drove from Los Angeles to the Owens Valley, then turned around and drove home again. I think the whole trip took me about 12-14 hours. You can drive great on the stuff if you have a nice, clear, open road in front of you, and the towering Sierra Nevada sure looks great when you are frying. Plus, the stuff keeps you awake for many hours somehow.I used to sell these mushrooms, and boy was it fun. I was a student, a schooteacher, a paralegal and a drug dealer. I would sell quarter pounds and pounds and make insane profits like $300 for an hour's work or so. Plu...

Treat Depression by Growing New Brain Cells
2008-06-05 16:37:00 The Booster Shots blog at the Los Angeles Times reports that a company called BrainCells, Inc., has begun phase two testing of a compound to treat depression and anxiety. Nothing new so far, but BrainCells plans to treat these diseases by promoting neurogenesis—the growth of new neurons—in the brain. Company co-founder Fred Gage rocked the scientific world about ten years ago with a paper showing that adult brain cells could regenerate over time. While those findings are fully accepted these days, some researchers are skeptical that neurogenesis will work as a treatment for depression. Whether it works for depression or not, this is a valuable area of research that could be use to treat a number of brain and nervous-system conditions.
Poker Health : The Pinky Brain
2008-06-05 02:46:00 Some more again, these chained emails came to me. Some of these points actually sound quite convincing to me but it is better to leave it to your own interpretation.No Breakfast. People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.Overeating. It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.Smoking. It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.High Sugar consumption. Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.Air Pollution. The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.Sleep Deprivation. Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.Head covered wh...

Do Cell Phones Cause Brain Cancer and other DNA defects?
2008-06-03 23:29:00 Experts Revive Debate Over Cellphones and CancerBy TARA PARKER-POPEPublished: June 3, 2008What do brain surgeons know about cellphone safety that the rest of us don’t? Last week, three prominent neurosurgeons told the CNN interviewer Larry King that they did not hold cellphones next to their ears. “I think the safe practice,” said Dr. Keith Black, a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, “is to use an earpiece so you keep the microwave antenna away from your brain.”Dr. Vini Khurana, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the Australian National University who is an outspoken critic of cellphones, said: “I use it on the speaker-phone mode. I do not hold it to my ear.” And CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon at Emory University Hospital, said that like Dr. Black he used an earpiece.Along with Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s recent diagnosis of a glioma, a type of tumor that critics have long associated with cellphone use...

Long-term daily cannabis use seen harmful to brain tissue, mental health
2008-06-03 09:33:00 Image by Getty Images via DaylifeDr. Yucel says "Many people in the community, as well as cannabis users themselves, believe that cannabis is relatively harmless and should be legally available,"(see Yucel Research link here)This argument is a straw man.The heavy use of cannabis as characterized by this study [5+ daily joints*356*10yrs] would be the extreme exception in consumption.It would be very difficult to find 15 cannabis only consumers in Australia using at this level.(further) This heavy consumption was occurring in a context of absolute prohibition, clear evidence of policy 'efficacy' failure being so predicated on zero tolerance of any harm.But what do we find? A harm association by a correlation only, and as reported elsewhere - no basis for thinking there is cannabis harm causation other than at sub clinical behavioral measures.Remember the UN cannabis related covenants sanctions billions of dollars annually on police, justice, law, and corrections and maintains a cult...

Brain-Eating Amoeba Strikes in Summer causing Primary amoebic meningoenceph
2008-06-02 19:53:00 Swimming in the pool having warm water may be dangerous, as it provides the favourable medium for the growth of brain-eating amoeba. There are reports of death last year after swimming in lakes or pools infested with a brain-eating amoeba.The bad blobs -- known as Naegleria fowleri or N. fowleri -- thrive in warm, fresh water all over the world. But the key word here is warm. The amoeba loves heat. In the U.S., it inhabits the relatively hot waters of lakes, hot springs, and poorly maintained pools in Southern or Southwestern states.How Brain-Eating Amoebas AttackThat food source is the human brain. It actually is using the brain for food.After the amoeba enters the nose, it finds its way to the olfactory nerve. N. fowleri appears to be attracted to nerve cells, so it follows the nerve into the brain. That's when bad things happen. The amoeba has mouth-shaped structures on its surface called food cups. It's perfectly capable of chewing up brain and blood cells with these food cups...

Why, for example, are people generally more comfortable stealing pencils from work than money from a petty cash box? And what does this tell us about the degree to which human decision-making is based upon irrational thinking? The free event will combine discussion with live group experiments, games and demonstrations that test the ideas in Ariely's book, followed by food, drink and music under the stars."

A fundamental question that is seldom addressed by these studies, however, is why the brain uses the types of representations it does and what evolutionary advantage, if any, these representations confer. It is difficult to address such questions directly via animal experiments. A promising alternative is to use probabilistic principles such as maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference to derive models of brain function.This book surveys some of the current probabilistic approaches to model...

Incense Is Good For The Brain
2008-05-26 20:04:00 Religious leaders have contended for millennia that burning incense is good for the soul. Now, biologists have learned that it is good for our brains too. An international team of scientists, including researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, describe how burning frankincense (resin from the Boswellia plant) activates poorly understood ion channels in the brain to alleviate anxiety or depression. This suggests that an entirely new class of depression and anxiety drugs might be right under our noses.
