Clever minds have better networked brains






Clever minds have better networked brains:


So far, various forms of intelligence have been explained, especially with differences in individual brain regions. But are the brains of smarter people interconnected differently than the brains of less intelligent people? A recent study by scientists at Goethe University confirms this assumption. Certain brain regions are stronger in more intelligent individuals, other regions.









Nerve stem cells control their own destiny


Until now, it has been assumed that the development of stem cells depends on the environment in which they are embedded. For the first time, a research team at the University of Basel describes a process according to which  neuronal stem cell  in the hippocampus regulate their own fate via the protein Drosha. Stem cells are not specialized cells that have the potential to become

Neurology:  High-dose midazolam is safe and effective in the treatment of refractory epilepsy: Research points: The efficacy of high-dose and traditional low-dose midazolam in the treatment of refractory epilepsy . The high-dose group had lower seizure rates and mortality than the traditional low-dose group. Midazolam is a commonly used drug for refractory epilepsy. For patients with refractory epilepsy, it can be completely controlled within 45 minutes, and there is no obvious change of blood pressure, heart rhythm and respiratory depression. After 1.6 h, the average recovery consciousness is completely restored. , Midazolam is safe and effective.  Under the current mainstream evidence-based medicine, what is optimal for patients is becoming more and more important. In response to this situation, Dr. Andres Fernandez from the Department of Neurology, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, and others conducted a study to compare high- and low-dose...

Brain clears up in sleep - and thus remains able to learn Essential function of sleep clarified / sleep reduces the transmission between nerve cells and thus creates space for new and important things Still, it is not clear why people and animals sleep.  Scientists of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital Freiburg show in a on August 23, 2016 What is behind the daytime tiredness? A new EEG algorithm helps to detect if a tired patient is drowsy or over-excited.  Daytime fatigue is a distressing symptom that is commonly reported in mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and sleep disorders as well as in various non-psychiatric disorders.  Neuro physiologists  at the University Hospital Leipzig have now developed a method that should help.
