Do babies’ dream?

Peace is watching a sleeping baby.
But do babies’ dream? Are there some theater performances happening behind that calm innocent expression?
Neuroscientists reported that people often fallaciously believe that babies’ have an ability to dream. According to the report, considering babies’ limited pool of experiences and their brains’ immaturity, they don’t dream for the first few years of life.                                     

Great step forward in treating Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and is known to commence with the progressive amyloid deposition in the brain. Amyloid deposition supposedly occurs between 10-15 years before the emergence of symptoms such as memory loss.
Researchers at University of Zurich have shown that Aducanumab, a human monoclonal antibody, results in almost complete clearance of the brain amyloid plaques in the study group patients.
This impressive clinical study is a great step forward in treating AD.

6 minutes to drive alcohol to the brain cells.

6 minutes is all it takes to pump 3 glasses of beer or 2 glasses of wine to the brain cells!
Think about your brain before getting drunk.

Boozing does affect memory

When your friend says he doesn't remember seeing you last evening because he was drunk. He might be right!
Boozing does affect the memory!
Alcohol prevents some receptors from working. This causes the neurons to create steroids which then interfere with the neuronal communication leading to the disruption of long term potentiation, a process necessary for learning and memory.

Your DNA foretells your coffee consumption!

Your DNA foretells your coffee consumption!
Researchers have identified a gene that appears to restrain coffee consumption. They found that people with the genetic variant PDSS2 tend to drink fewer cups of coffee per day than those without the variation. 
Expression of the PDSS2 gene appears to inhibit the body's ability to break down caffeine. Therefore, caffiene stays in the body for a longer time curbing the craving for more coffee. 

I love my yellow brain

Researchers noticed that Indian brains had usually faint yellow blotches from years of curry eating and had vigorous cell densities in the cortex. The British brains, by contrast, having suffered through damaging high-fat diets, and without the protection of curcumin, were normal colored but appeared to have about half the cell densities of the Indian brains (http://accelerating.org/articles/curcumin.html).

Dogs follow both vocabulary and intonation of human speech

Only humans are considered to be dependent on vocabulary and intonation to convey the information through speech. 
Curious researchers explored whether dogs also depend on both mechanisms. They exposed dogs to the recordings of their trainers speech and analyzed dogs' brain activity using FMRI. Results revealed that dogs process vocabulary and intonation in a way similar to humans using the left and right hemisphere of the brain.

Ginger nanoparticles cure inflammatory bowel disease

We all are aware of Ginger's broad-spectrum medicinal properties. It is mostly consumed as a dietary condiment in the world. 
Recently, researchers using different mouse models showed that ginger-derived compounds in a nanoparticle may be a more efficient way to treat Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease than just providing it as a food or supplement. 

Gratitude can boost dopamine

Studying while playing create long lasting memories

Imagine studying while playing xbox or playstation games... Doesn't this sound amazing?
Results of a new research study at UT Southwestern Medical Center might transform this imagination into reality.
Researchers reported that enthralling experiences activate the release of dopamine from the brain's locus coeruleus (LC) region. Memory of the events that happen at the time of activation of the LC region are increased and are long-lasting. 
This study suggests that drugs targeting neurons in the LC region may affect learning and memory as well. 

Human ancestor Lucy's death mystery solved

How Lucy died?
Researchers at University of Texas at Austin solved a long-standing mystery of Lucy's death. 
Lucy, a 3.18-million-year-old specimen of Australopithecus afarensis -- or "southern ape of Afar" -- is among the oldest, most complete skeletons of any adult, erect-walking human ancestor. According to the new study, she probably died after falling from a tree. Researchers have found that the injury Lucy sustained was consistent with a four-part proximal humerus fracture, caused by a fall from considerable height when the conscious victim stretched out an arm in an attempt to break the fall.
