| Science Reveals the Power of a Handshake Posted: 19 Oct 2012 12:04 PM PDT A firm, friendly handshake has long been recommended in the business world as a way to make a good first impression, and the greeting is thought to date to ancient times as a way of showing a stranger you had no weapons. Now, a paper published online and for the December print issue of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience on a study of the neural correlates of a handshake is giving insight into just how important the practice is to the evaluations we make of subsequent social interactions. |
| Researchers Explore How the Brain Perceives Direction and Location Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:54 AM PDT The Who asked “who are you?” but Dartmouth neurobiologist Jeffrey Taube asks “where are you?” and “where are you going?” Taube is not asking philosophical or theological questions. Rather, he is investigating nerve cells in the brain that function in establishing one’s location and direction. |
| Salk scientists pinpoint key player in Parkinson's disease neuron loss Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:41 AM PDT By reprogramming skin cells from Parkinson's disease patients with a known genetic mutation, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have identified damage to neural stem cells as a powerful player in the disease. The findings, reported online October 17th in Nature, may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. |
| Researchers Identify Lynchpin to Activating Brown Fat Cells Posted: 19 Oct 2012 11:06 AM PDT Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified the lynchpin that activates brown fat cells, which burn fat molecules instead of storing them, making them the focus of pharmaceutical research aimed at fighting obesity. |
| Daily vibration may combat prediabetes in youth Posted: 19 Oct 2012 10:58 AM PDT Daily sessions of whole-body vibration may combat prediabetes in adolescents, dramatically reducing inflammation, average blood glucose levels and symptoms such as frequent urination, researchers report. |
