says Alasdair Coles, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, UK, and the UK chief investigator of the Comparison of Alemtuzumab and Rebif Efficacy in Multiple sclerosis (CARE-MS) I trial.

Coles told the meeting that magnetic resonance imaging showed that subjects taking alemtuzumab had lost also less brain volume than those taking Rebif, a proxy measure for overall tissue damage.

Alemtuzumab has eliminated the loss of brain tissue he says. Just 8%of patients taking alemtuzumab experienced a worsening in disability according to standard measures, in comparison with 11%taking Rebif.

Several million years ago hominids had large guts and smaller brains. That began to reverse around two million years ago:

Brains got bigger as guts got smaller. The primary reason for the change according to a seminal 1995 study by evolutionary anthropologist Leslie Aiello then of the University college London is that our ancestors started eating meat a compact high-energy source of calories.

Instead they could divert energy elsewhere namely to power big energy-hungry brains. And with those brains they changed the world.

As time progressed meat became culturally important too. Hunting fostered cooperation; cooking and eating the kill brought communities together over shared rituals as it still does in backyard barbecues.

Studies suggest that eating meat activates the brain s pleasure center in much the same way chocolate does.

#4 Parasites That Want to Invade Your Brain In the past month two different 12-year-olds have made headlines after being hospitalized with an extremely rare horrifying infection:

the brain-eating amoeba. Found mostly in warm freshwater lakes rivers and hotsprings Naegleria fowleri can travel up a person's nose

and into the brain where it goes to work destroying brain tissue. Most cases in the U s.--32 were reported between 2001 and 2010--have occurred in the warm Southeast according to CNN.

Unfortunately as much as we'd like brain-eating parasites to be confined to sci-fi fever dreams Naegleria fowleri isn't the only microorganism that

In a human they often end up in the brain forming cysts that cause a disease called neurocysticercosis.

but when it comes to parasites crawling around in your body that's too close to the brain for comfort.

because when large numbers of the larvae die in and around the brain they can block capillaries and cause encephalopathy a condition that can cause cognitive losses memory problems personality changes and more.

In comparison a brain-eating-zombie attack doesn't seem that bad. Probably the most frightening is the M. Bop more commonly known as Hanson's Ear Worm.

Colloidal Silver Atoms 3000 PPM the smallest particle size in the CS industry can be applied to the nose into the sinuses where they can immediatly travel to the brain to deter these nasty parasites.

In Inside Jokes Indiana University cognitive scientist Matthew Hurley and his co-authors put forward yet another theory of humor:

The brain gets its wires crossed when confronted by someone else getting hurt. As a pain-filled situation unfolds a witness doesn't experience the negative emotional valence that the person in pain does

but the brain still registers an emotional arousal. It can mistakenly categorize the sudden spike in emotion as positive.

Perhaps the part of the brain that finds something funny just overwhelms the part that recognizes it as wrong.

Taste receptors are little more than chemical sensors used by the brain for a purpose. No doubt these receptors are used to assess the condition of the internal organs such as ph fluid content etc. so it's not a stretch to think that taste receptors could be utilized to ensure the proper conditions for sperm production.

#Eating Yogurt Does Weird Things To Your Brain Does what you eat affect your body more or your mind?

Can you just chow down on Big macs as far as the brain goes and be pretty much set?

and brain function so they took three groups of 12 women each and fed one of the groups (the lucky group) yogurt with probiotics one group a yogurt-like dairy product and one group nothing.

The idea was to show that what happens in humans'guts directly affects their brains.

In both fmri sessions the women had scanned their brains at rest and during emotion-recognition task:

Tasks like that are a measurement of activity in certain brain regions and similar links have been found between gut changes

during the task the women who ate the real yogurt actually had decreased activity in the part of the brain that regulates body sensations.

But in the resting brain scan the women also showed increased connectivity in the periaqueductal gray region and the prefrontal cortex

So what's yogurt doing to your brain? Hard to say. It's a small sample size

decreased activity in the part of the brain that regulates body sensations. But in the resting brain scan the women also showed increased connectivity in the periaqueductal gray region and the prefrontal cortex

Compared to calorie-free foods foods with calories in them hit the human brain with big effects

There appear to be unrelated two brain circuits that kick into gear when people consume things Dana Small a Yale university psychologist who studies people's responses to food

The thing the brain really cares about are the calories Small says. Small's study comes after a few years of research into mice rats

when they took functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of people's brains while they sipped the different flavors.

The researchers saw that two regions in the brain the hypothalamus and the nucleus accumbens responded to the drinks in such a way that people with more blood glucose after drinking had more of a brain response.

Small has done other research that suggests that responses in the hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens are related to risk for obesity.

because their blood glucose levels and brains are reacting more strongly than other people's. This isn't an idea for the textbooks yet.

All of these brain circuits evolved millions of years ago in animals that lacked consciousness but still needed to incorporate fuel she says.

From our research it appears that those unconscious circuits that are caring about that energy are alive and well in our brains.
