Pleasure brain circuit
Brain Circuit That Drives Pleasure Inducing Behavior Identified NEUROSCIENCE NEWSMARCH 23, 2017*Summary: Neurons in an area of the brain commonly associated with fear drive pleasure seeking behaviors, a new study reports.* *Source: MIT.* *Surprisingly, the neurons are located in a brain region thought to be linked with fear.* Scientists have long believed that the central amygdala, a structure located deep within the brain, is linked with fear and responses to unpleasant events. However, a team of MIT neuroscientists has now discovered a circuit in this structure that responds to rewa... mais »
To Reverse DNA Aging
Scientists Can Reverse DNA Aging in Mice Alice Park Mar 23, 2017 Health For more, visit TIME Health. Researchers have found a way to protect a mouse's DNA from the damage that comes with aging, and they’re ready to test it in people. Dr. David Sinclair, from Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues reveal their new findings in the latest issue of *Science.* They focused on an intriguing compound with anti-aging properties called NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It's been known that younger mice had more of it than older mice and back in 2013, the researchers found ... mais »

The finding is a first step toward a much more exciting future for the cerebrum’s largely overlooked little brother, and one that could open up new avenues of research for neuroscientists interested in the roots of cognition. Scientists had assumed that the cerebellum helped control muscles mostly because of what happened when it got injured. Senior author Liqun Luo... mais »
Sleep and Consciousness
Synaptic Homeostasis Hypothesis Gets Visual Supporting Evidence James Anderson February 3, 2017 Our synapses grow strong and large during the stimulation of daytime, then shrink by nearly 20 percent while we sleep, creating room for more growth and learning the next day. This is the implication of recent electron microscope pictures from inside the brains of mice. The four-year research project offers a direct visual proof of the “synaptic homeostasis hypothesis” (SHY) proposed by Drs. Chiara Cirelli and Giulio Tononi of the Wisconsin Center for Sleep and Consciousness. This hypothe... mais »

Rethinking the Brain
The brain: a radical rethink is needed to understand it March 17, 2017 [image: Has neuroscience been on the wrong track for centuries? (credit: Justin Pickard/Flickr, CC BY-SA)] By Henrik Jörntell, Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience, Lund University Understanding the human brain is arguably the greatest challenge of modern science. The leading approach for most of the past 200 years has been to link its functions to different brain regions or even individual neurons (brain cells). But recent research increasingly suggests that we may be taking completely the wrong path …more…

Dementia Care: Flowers
[image: Please Download Pictures] *ThinkstockPhotos* Dementia Care: Flowers that Can Sicken Many common plants pose poisoning risks to people with dementia if they are eaten, so great care should be taken in displaying flowers and plants in the home. Flowering plants can lure people with dementia to them as easily as a honeybee. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for cognitively impaired people to rip off a leaf or bloom and eat it—and the consequences can be lethal. If you have doubts about what plants are possibly poisonous, contact a local nursery or your... mais »
