What Separates Humans From Mice? Bigger, Faster Astrocytes In BrainA type of brain cell that was long overlooked by researchers embodies one of very few ways in which the human brain differs fundamentally from that of a mouse or rat, according to researchers who published their findings as the cover story in the March 11 issue of the Journal of …
Researchers identify toehold for HIV's assault on brain (U-Rochester)Scientists have unraveled in unprecedented detail the cascade of events that go wrong in brain cells affected by HIV, a virus whose assault on the nervous system continues unabated despite antiviral medications that can keep the virus at bay for years in the rest of the body. Th …

Drugs to Make Your Brain GrowDrugs that encourage the growth of new neurons in the brain are now headed for clinical trials.
Hopes for better vCJD (mad cow disease) diagnosis by perfecting tests for confirmationScientists are perfecting a test which they hope will confirm mad cow disease (vCJD) in humans. At present doctors test for the presence of abnormal proteins called prions which are thought to cause the disease by killing off brain cells.

USC researcher crafting silicon brain cellsC'mon, linking actual brain cells to a silicon chip might sound a bit sensational at first, but considering the work that's already been done on replacement retinas and human brains, Ted Berger's recently-hyped work is pretty much right on time.
No sleep means no new brain cellsMissing out on sleep may cause the brain to stop producing new cells, a study has suggested. The work on rats, by a team from Princeton University found a lack of sleep affected the hippocampus, a brain region involved in forming memories.
