Flies on speed offer insight into the roles of dopamine in sleep and arousal

...es that have ingested methamphetamine. The results suggest that the right balance of dopamine is necessary for proper brain functioning, as has been seen in human studies of attention and distraction. Dopamine has been implicated in numerous aspects of brain function in humans and other animals, and many of ...

Weight control protein may yield antiobesity drugs

...e of Cell Metabolism. The findings in mice further suggest that particular variants of the protein SH2-B might underlie obesity in humans, the researchers said. SH2-B, which has multiple functions in cells throughout the body, keeps the brain sensitive to the fat hormone leptin, found researchers from the U...

Scientists uncover new clues about brain function in human behavior

...thy volunteers (see graphic below). These findings suggest that reduced danger signaling by the amygdala in response to social stimuli might be responsible for their fearlessness in social interactions. Next, researchers showed the study participants pictures of threatening scenes (a burning building or a p...

Ships bring alien jellyfish invaders to our shores

...egan almost 500 hundred years ago. Recent surveys suggest that up to almost one quarter (23 per cent) of all marine species in international harbours are non-indigenous, according to one of the research authors, Dr Mike Dawson of the University of California, Davis. "Marine organisms traverse the globe in ...

Methamphetamine Abuse, HIV Infection Cause Changes in Brain Structure

...drug a person ingested. However, the study results suggest that younger methamphetamine abusers showed larger effects in some brain regions. Among HIV-infected individuals, the researchers noted a direct association between the severity of the infection and greater loss of brain matter. In methamphetamine a...

Researchers find how some antibiotics kill bacteria

...ariations in binding. "From these findings we can suggest how rifamycins that are currently used in therapy can be improved to be effective even against existing resistant strains of bacteria," Artsimovitch said Rifamycins are what drug companies call "broad-spectrum antibiotics." Not only are they effecti...

DNA from feathers tells tale of eagle fidelity

...ethods." Observational studies of imperial eagles suggest these birds, like most large birds of prey, are at least socially monogamous. This means a male-female pair stays together throughout the breeding season and shares responsibility in raising young, DeWoody said. But just because two individuals act ...

Skull study sheds light on dinosaur diversity

Oddly, a group of distantly related sauropods evolved a similarly grooved snout. "Apparently, these two different branches of sauropods gr...

Molecular mechanism of feather formation found

The researchers predict that a more complicated version of the model can be applied to the formation of more complex feathers. Termed pen...

Genetic variation alters response to common anti-clotting drug

...ene versions. These results, the researchers said, suggest that information about the VKORC1 gene could predict a person's response to the anti-clotting drug. "We found that 25 percent of the [overall] variance in warfarin dose is due to this one gene," said Rettie. "This is possibly the single biggest cont...

Using a proteomics tool developed at Carnegie Mellon, the scientists compared maturing fruit fly eggs. One group of eggs was missing a gene ...

Old drug shows new promise for Huntington's Disease

"Together, the in vitro and in vivo results suggest that Clioquinol has an effect of decreasing the symptoms of Huntington's, its pathology, and perhaps even the actual production of the toxic protein." However, he noted, "the drug's mechanism of action remains unclear." The clearer the mechanism of ...
