But one significant change that has taken place over the past few years has been a shift from perceiving the autistic mind not as disabled but as differently abled — and often impressive in its difference, as in extraordinary individuals like mathematical maste... mais »
Graphene : Neurosurgery
Graphene’s potential to reshape neurosurgery April 29, 2014 [image: Schematic illustration of a recently developed graphene electric field stimulator (credit: Biomaterials)] Graphene may lead to exciting new applications in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases, according to a report in the May issue of Neurosurgery, official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. The paper can also serve as a general introduction to the properties of graphene and its future uses. Tobias A. Mattei, MD, …more…

How a synapse stays stable when its proteins are renewedApril 30, 2014 [image: synapses-neurons-mpg] During the learning processes, extensions grow on neurons. Synapses are located at the end of these extensions (left: as seen in nature; right: reconstruction). (Credit: MPI of Neurobiology/ Meyer) Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried have found an explanation for how a synapse stays stable for a long time despite the fact that its proteins must be renewed regularly. The researchers studied the growth of synapses in tissue culture dishes following expos... mais »
