Lab-Made Neurons Allow Scientists To Study A Genetic Cause Of Parkinson's

8 Feb 2012

By reverse engineering human skin cells to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and then coaxing them to become neural dopamine cells, scientists in the US have developed a way to study a genetic cause of Parkinson's disease in lab-made neurons. Their findings, which they write about in the 7 February issue of Nature Communications, reveal some potential new drug targets for Parkinson's ...

Why the middle finger has such a slow connection

7 Feb 2012

( Ruhr-University Bochum ) Each part of the body has its own nerve cell area in the brain -- we therefore have a map of our bodies in our heads. The functional significance of these maps is largely unclear. What effects they can have is now shown by RUB neuroscientists through reaction time measurements combined with learning experiments and "computational modeling." They have been able to ...
