Love's all in the brain: fMRI study shows strong, lateralized reward, not sex, drive

...nning to track what happens in the brain as a love relationship matures." Helen E. Fisher, a research anthropologist at Rutgers University, New Jersey, noted that not only did the brain change as romantic love endured, but that some of these changes were in regions associated with pair-bonding in prairie voles. ...

Mystery Blood Vessel Disorder Implicated In 'Mini' Strokes

...f small vessel disease. Indeed, there was a direct relationship between the diameter of the basilar artery, the cranial artery most often affected in dolichoectasia, and the severity of small vessel disease. "This study is the first to show an association between intracranial arterial dolichoectasia and the whol...

Brain Scans Reveal How Gene May Boost Schizophrenia Risk

...nia-related version of the gene. Yet, the opposite relationship held for subjects with the other of two common versions of the gene. "A tiny variation in the gene that makes the enzyme that breaks down dopamine causes a complete flipflop ?not a mere difference in degree ?in dopamine activity in these two brain a...

Cooperation is key—a new way of looking at MicroRNA and how it controls gene expression

... tiny fragments of RNA known as microRNA and their relationship to the genetic transcripts known as messenger RNA (mRNA). All genes expressed in the human body must be transcribed as mRNA before they can be translated into proteins, and the stability of these mRNA transcripts is essential for control of genetic ...

Mouse gene shows new mechanism behind cardiac infarction in man

Multiple-drug resistant gene expression pattern predicts treatment outcome for pediatric leukemia

...tileukemic agents. They went on to investigate the relationship of these genes to treatment outcome in ALL patients and found that expression of the genes was associated with treatment outcome and could be used to identify a subset of patients with a markedly inferior response to treatment. In addition, the findi...
