Bigger brain size matters for intellectual ability
Brain size matters for intellectual ability and bigger is better, McMaster University researchers have found. The stud...Genes and genius: Researchers confirm association between gene and intelligence
If you're particularly good with puzzles or chess, the reason may be in your genes. A team of scientists, led by psychiatric geneticists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has gathered the most extensive evidence to date that a gene that activates signaling pathways in the brain influences one kind of intelligence. They have confirmed a link between the gene, CHRM2,...Intelligently designed molecular evolution
Evolutionary paths to new therapeutic drugs, as well as a wide assortment of other enzyme products, have been created through, of all things, intelligent design. A team of researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have developed a technique in which the evolution of an important class of proteins is steered towards a de...Feinstein researchers identify intelligence gene
Psychiatric researchers at The Zucker Hillside Hospital campus of The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have uncovered evidence of a gene that appears to influence intelligence. Working in conjunction with researchers at Harvard Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics in Boston, the Zucker Hillside team examined the genetic blueprints of individuals with schizophrenia, a neuropsychiatric...Intelligent materials to regenerate bone tissue
More than half a million people in the European Union and a million in the United States suffer from disorders in or serious defects of some part of their bone structure. Operations involving grafts or implants, required to mitigate the damage, depend decisively on the materials used. The European Nanobiocom project, led by INASMET-Tecnalia with the help of others, is working on the regene...AS-2055/2057 Intelligent Autosampler from JASCO
Description:The JASCO Model AS-2055 and AS-2057 are fully automatic sample injection systems enabling greater productivity andthe highest possible level of precision. Sampling flexibility is unparalleled with up to 384 well positions (microplate) forlaboratory automation and combinatorial chemistry. Also available is a rack for 84 micro-vials or the standard rack for 50 2ml vials. The AS-2055/2057 offer 5...Debate over `intelligent design' is a not-so-wise diversion from science education
- The day an archeologist finds a fossil cat or dog in Precambrian rock is the day Charles Darwin's evolution theory is disproved. But that hasn't happened. In fact, the Earth's fossil records tell a consistent scientific story through the ages: Today's living species descended -- with modification -- from common ancestors that lived in our anci...UW Medical Improves Business Intelligence

The idea usually comes first. Is it Biotech? Software? Before raising any money, hiring an employee, or forming a business entity, protecting this commercial idea is critical because it is most likely intellectual property. <br...Smoking can depreciate intellegence
Smoking in old age appears to be linked to intellectual impairment over the age of 64, research has found. A team from the Institute of Psychiatry in London carried out a community survey of an area of England They studied more than 630 people aged 65 and over. Smoking and drinking habits were recorded at the beginning of the study. The volunteers' intellectual powers were also asses...Drink alcohol for intelligence
Moderate drinking may actually improve brain power, according to Japanese research. It is thought that an ingredient of alcoholic drinks may help prevent or restrict the hardening of the arteries which could lessen blood flow to the brain. // However, there are other factors linked to moderate alcohol consumption which could also be linked to improved IQ. The researchers, at the Na...Emotional intelligence in Cancer
According to new researchers, points to the importance of cancer patients being able to understand and work out their depressed feelings. Researchers feel that with a firm knowledge of their feelings but no way to deal with them, //the patient is left with increased feelings of depression and anxiety. Researchers from the University of Texas performed a unique Internet study to determi...Radiation Exposure Found To Affect Intellect Later In Life
According to recent findings researchers say the risks and benefits of using CT scanning for young children need to be re-evaluated.// Researchers from Sweden studied more than 3,000 men who received radiation therapy before 18 months of age. Participants had their intellectual capacity tested at age 18 years or 19 years. Researchers also studied school attendance records for the young men....Intelligent children had longer live
Study results showed that people who lived longer had a high childhood IQ irrespective of income and social position. The research study was carried out by Dr Laurie Martin and Laura Kubzansky, Harvard's School of Public Health who reported their finding in the American Journal of Epidemiology. // Childhood IQ of more than 163 score is very rare and is considered as very intelligent and...
