Chemistry World April 5, 2007 Victoria Gill	Target for Memory-Enhancing Pills Identified Researchers have taken a step towards developing a pill that could improve memory by pinpointing and testing a potential target enzyme in the brain.
Technology Research News May 5, 2004 Kimberly Patch	Chaos Seems to Aid Learning Researchers in Japan have built a computer simulation of the inferior olive, a portion of the brain that probably relays errors in movement to the cerebellum. The model shows that chaos can be useful in the brain for efficient learning.
Scientific American October 2, 2005 Diane Martindale	One Face, One Neuron A recent study indicates that our brains employ far fewer cells to interpret a given image than previously believed, and the findings could help neuroscientists determine how memories are formed and stored.
Chemistry World August 24, 2006 Jessica Ebert	Alzheimer's Researchers Tackle Waste Disposal The memory of mice with Alzheimer's-like symptoms is improved by inoculating the mice with an enzyme involved in protein degradation, report US researchers. The work could lead to new therapies for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
IEEE Spectrum March 2006 Samuel K. Moore	Psychiatry's Shocking New Tools Electronic implants and electromagnetic pulses are picking up where psychoactive drugs have failed.
Wired August 2001 Jennifer Kahn	Let's Make Your Head Interactive The Human Brain Project is combining wet anatomy with next-gen scanning, imaging, and networking to give neuroscience a revolutionary new tool -- the globally accessible online mind...
IEEE Spectrum August 2006 Schoenbach et al.	Zap Extreme voltage could be a surprisingly delicate tool in the fight against cancer. The list of effects that scientists have achieved using nanoseconds-long pulses is growing rapidly, though their actual use as a medical treatment is still years away.
Scientific American January 2006 Charles Q. Choi	Un-Killing the Messenger Processing bodies do more than serve as RNA trash bins in cells. Research now suggests that these P-bodies are less like junkyards and more like office centers, where messages are amassed, silenced and reactivated.
Chemistry World December 19, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Snapshot of Proteins Linked to Autism Researchers in France and the US have caught on camera the gentle embrace between two proteins that sit on either side of the junction between nerve cells. It's this short circuit that has thought to cause some types of autism.
Technology Research News March 10, 2004	Chip controls neural connection Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Germany and the University of Calgary in Canada have used a silicon chip to coax a pair of nerve cells to communicat
Chemistry World October 31, 2007 John Bonner	Brain's Wiring Seen in Technicolor Researchers in the US have developed a technique that could allow neurologists to draw a detailed wiring plan of the mammalian brain by inserting genes coding for fluorescent proteins into transgenic mice.
IEEE Spectrum April 2005 Harry et al.	Balancing Act New advances in sensory enhancement technology may directly improve mechanical sensory function to help prevent falls in the elderly and foot injuries and amputations in people with diabetes.
Science News July 15, 2000 Ivars Peterson	Pinpointing Prey The sand scorpion uses two types of sensors on the tips of its legs to detect mechanical vibrations transmitted over relatively short distances across the surface
Salon.com December 19, 2000 Carolyn McConnell	"The Century of the Gene" by Evelyn Fox Keller A new book argues that there may be no such thing as a gene. At least, it has proved very difficult to isolate a discrete physical item that can do the work our notion of the gene does...
Bio-IT World January 21, 2005 Kevin Davies	Allen Brain Institute Debuts 'Google for Gene Activity' The Allen Institute for Brain Science has released its first set of gene-expression data in the brain for nearly 2,000 mouse genes. The data will have important relevance for the study of brain function, disease, and the role of genes in governing human behavior.
IEEE Spectrum October 2005 Willie D. Jones	Fiber to the Brain Nanotech researchers have devised a method for attaching electrodes to small clusters of brain cells -- or even individual neurons -- using the cardiovascular system as the conduit through which wires are threaded.
IEEE Spectrum October 2007 Morgen E. Peck	Researchers Testing New Electric Treatment for Migraines A small DC current through the skull seems to interrupt the headaches and may even prevent them
Chemistry World August 24, 2006 Michael Gross	Biotronics Branches Out Harvard researchers have developed nanowire transistors that interface with individual neurons and, even better, with the individual neuronal extensions that reach out to contact other cells.
Wired March 2007 Steven Gulie	A Shock to the System To slow the progress of Parkinson's disease, doctors planted electrodes deep in my brain. Then they turned on the juice.
Bio-IT World July 15, 2003	Millennium's PARIS Illuminates Pathways To address high-throughput-data challenges, Millennium Pharmaceuticals built the PAthway Resource and Information System, or PARIS -- a unique platform for combining knowledge from heterogeneous data sources in the construction of a pathway knowledgebase.
