Space Station Bound SAGE III is Full Steam Ahead
2013-03-07
About 428 miles above Earth, the collective observations from the "A-Train," or Afternoon Train build three-dimensional images of the Earth's atmosphere and surfaces. A team at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., is working to supplement those satellites with an instrument mounted to the orbiting International Space Station, or ISS.
According to Richard Eckman of the Earth Science Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, the satellites provide a means to make near simultaneous measurements of atmospheric processes. ...
Portion of hippocampus found to play role in modulating anxiety
2013-03-06
New York, NY— Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have found the first evidence that selective activation of the dentate gyrus, a portion of the hippocampus, can reduce anxiety without affecting learning. The findings suggest that therapies that target this brain region could be used to treat certain anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD), with minimal cognitive side effects. The study, conducted in mice, was published today in the online edition of the journal Neuron.
The dentate gyrus is known to play a ...
Solving the 'Cocktail Party Problem': How we can focus on 1 speaker in noisy crowds
2013-03-06
In the din of a crowded room, paying attention to just one speaker's voice can be challenging. Research in the March 6 issue of the Cell Press journal Neuron demonstrates how the brain hones in on one speaker to solve this "Cocktail Party Problem." Researchers discovered that brain waves are shaped so that the brain can selectively track the sound patterns from the speaker of interest and at the same time exclude competing sounds from other speakers. The findings could have important implications for helping individuals with a range of deficits such as those associated ...
Study pinpoints, prevents stress-induced drug relapse in rats
2013-03-06
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — All too often, stress turns addiction recovery into relapse, but years of basic brain research have provided scientists with insight that might allow them develop a medicine to help. A new study in the journal Neuron pinpoints the neural basis for stress-related relapse in rat models to an unprecedented degree. The advance could accelerate progress toward a medicine that prevents stress from undermining addiction recovery.
In the paper published March 6, researchers at Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated ...
Flip of a single molecular switch makes an old brain young
2013-03-06
The flip of a single molecular switch helps create the mature neuronal connections that allow the brain to bridge the gap between adolescent impressionability and adult stability. Now Yale School of Medicine researchers have reversed the process, recreating a youthful brain that facilitated both learning and healing in the adult mouse.
Scientists have long known that the young and old brains are very different. Adolescent brains are more malleable or plastic, which allows them to learn languages more quickly than adults and speeds recovery from brain injuries. The ...
Use it or lose it
2013-03-06
Boston, MA – "Use it or lose it." The saying could apply especially to the brain when it comes to protecting against Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have shown that keeping the mind active, exercising and social interactions may help delay the onset of dementia in Alzheimer's disease.
Now, a new study led by Dennis Selkoe, MD, co-director of the Center for Neurologic Diseases in the BWH Department of Neurology, provides specific pre-clinical scientific evidence supporting the concept that prolonged and intensive stimulation by an enriched environment, especially ...
1 region, 2 functions: Brain cells' multitasking key to understanding overall brain function
2013-03-06
A region of the brain known to play a key role in visual and spatial processing has a parallel function: sorting visual information into categories, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Chicago.
Primates are known to have a remarkable ability to place visual stimuli into familiar and meaningful categories, such as fruit or vegetables. They can also direct their spatial attention to different locations in a scene and make spatially-targeted movements, such as reaching.
The study, published in the March issue of Neuron, shows that these very different ...

Health Care Providers Give Cloud Vendors High Marks on Security
2013-03-06
With an average satisfaction score of 4.5 out of 5 on security, cloud users feel safe. Non-cloud users though remain at bay--particularly with many questions still looming around the future of cloud computing in healthcare. The KLAS report titled Cloud Computing Perception 2013: The Hybrid Cloud in Healthcare looks at the evolution of the cloud in healthcare, provider concerns, as well as vendor performance.
Given the near-perfect satisfaction scores that cloud-users gave to their vendors, 66% of non-users surveyed said security was definitely the main issue stopping ...
