In the human brain, cells talk to one another through the routine exchange of electrical signals. But when people fall into a deep sleep, the higher regions of the brain - regions that during waking hours are a bustling grid of neural dialogue - apparently lose their ability to communicate effectively, causing consciousness to fade. Writing today (Sept. 30) in the journal Science, a team o...Carnegie Mellon cyLab researchers work to develop new red tide monitoring
Carnegie Mellon CyLab computer scientist Yang Cai is working with NASA's Earth-Sun System Technology Office (ESTO), the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop new software for detecting and tracking toxic algae plaguing North American waters.

A new survey suggests that certain antidepressants increase the risk of a gastrointestinal bleed in older patients. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a group of antidepressants which are very widely prescribed. They are preferred over older drugs because they are relatively free of side effects. But, as Researchers at Ottawa Hospital in Canada have just shown, they a...Leptin, The Next Generation Antidepressant?
A study conducted by Xin-Yun Lu, PhD and colleagues of the University of Texas Health Science Center found that Leptin when administered to the rat acts as an anti-depressant. Leptin is a hormone mainly given to people involved in weight regulation. // The research was done on chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) rats. It was found that CUS rats had decreased levels of Leptin than the cont...Antidepressants-important role
According to a new study, there is no significant difference between three commonly prescribed drugs for depression. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are now very widely used in the treatment of depression.// They raise levels of a brain chemical called serotonin that plays an important role in mood. But there is no evidence on how individual SSRIs compare with one anot...Ultrasensitive C-Peptide EIA Diabetes and Obesity Markers 008-10-1141-01
