#Clinical trial studies vaccine targeting cancer stem cells in brain cancersan early-phase clinical trial of an experimental vaccine that targets cancer stem cells in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme

Cedars-Sinai's brain cancer stem cell study is open to patients whose glioblastoma multiforme has returned following surgical removal.

which in turn sends a nerve signal to the brain. In response the brain triggers a range of protective effects against diabetes and obesity:

the sensation of hunger fades energy expenditure at rest is enhanced and last but not least the liver produces less glucose.

and the fatty acids that would have been particularly important for the hominin brain. Her finding is grounded in existing data that details the diet of year-old baboons in Amboseli National park in Kenya--a similar environment to that once inhabited by Paranthropus boisei.

But the tiny brain in this little thing could take you places you've never been before,

The honey bee has a puny brain. But man is that miniscule mound of gray matter finely tuned as the winged pollinator's mission control center.

They're building a computer model that unlike other AI projects does not mimic the brains of human, monkeys or mice.

Because the honey bee brain is smaller and more accessible than any vertebrate brain, we hope to eventually be able to produce an accurate and complete model that we can test within a flying robot.

Bionic beesengineers from the universities of Sheffield and Sussex are planning on scanning the brains of bees

It's important to note that this won't be an entirely comprehensive model of a bee's brain--it's only going to be associated the parts with its sense of smell and vision.

what the team call a"Green Brain, "one that can react to new situations and improvise rapidly just like a"real"animal or insect brain.

The project has been funded by the Engineering and Physical sciences Research Council with a £1m grant, with Nvidia providing some of its top-end graphics processors for the development team to work with.

but we also believe the computer modelling techniques we will be using will be widely useful to other brain modelling and computational neuroscience projects".

I wanted an herbal compound that provided neural protection in the brain. L-theanine (also known as gamma-glutamylethylamide,

and glutamate and can cross the blood-brain barrier to directly affect the brain. Among its psychoactive properties, theanine is reported to reduce mental stress and improved cognition and mood via its binding to the GABA brain receptors in the parasympathetic nervous system.

Thus, theanine appears to increase the overall level of the brain inhibitory transmitter GABA and is reported to promote alpha wave production in the brain.

Theanine also increases brain dopamine concentrations and has significant affinities for the AMPA and NMDA receptors.

The NMDA receptors help control memory and synaptic plasticity. Theanine may also have positive effects on serotonin levels to promote restful Sleep in rats,

theanine is neuroprotective. All of these neuroprotective properties of L-theanine make it a strong complementary addition to the three essential core herbs of the herbal mix.
