10-05-06 Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that a compound in dark chocolate may protect the brain after a stroke by increasing cellular signals already known to shield(保护,遮蔽) nerve cells from damage. Ninety minutes after feeding mice a sin...
10-05-06 Drinking alcohol over a long period of time profoundly(深刻地,极度地) affects the brain, which adapts to the intoxicant(醉人的) and causes withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状,断除症状) when consumption stops. Neuroscientists from the University of...
10-04-23 Napping after learning something new could help you commit it to memory - as long as you dream, scientists say. 科学家称,在学习某些新东西之后小睡一会儿,此时如果做梦则有助于强化记忆。 Dreaming may be a sign our brain is working hard in our sleep Th...
10-04-23 The standard practice of cooling and then rewarming a patient to prevent organ damage during cardiac(心脏的) bypass surgery(心脏搭桥手术) may impair the body's mechanism that controls blood flow to the brain, potentially increasing the patient's...
10-04-22 Researchers at Johns Hopkins say they have discovered the way in which red wine consumption may protect the brain from damage following a stroke. Two hours after feeding mice a single modest(谦虚的,适度的) dose of resveratrol(白藜芦醇) , a comp...
10-04-15 New research reveals a brain circuit that seems to underlie the ability of humans to resist instant gratification(满意,喜悦) and delay reward for months, or even years, in order to earn a better payoff. The study, published by Cell Press in the A...
10-04-15 A cat can recognize a face faster and more efficiently than a supercomputer. That's one reason a feline(猫科的) brain is the model for a biologically-inspired computer project involving the University of Michigan. U-M computer engineer Wei Lu has...
10-04-14 A group of women in a new study seemed unlikely to have body image issues at least their responses on a tried-and-true psychological screening presented no red flags. That assessment changed when Brigham Young University researchers used MRI technol...
10-04-13 Researchers may be one step closer to slowing the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease. An animal study supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, shows that by ta...
10-04-05 The brain is capable of holding and retrieving(取回,恢复) memories for specific fears, revealing a more sophisticated storage and recall capacity than previously thought, neuroscientists have found. The study, which appears in the journal Nature...
