RICE UNIVERSITY. HOUSTON – New research from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine shows analyzing the brains of stroke victims just days after the stroke allows researchers to link various speech functions to different parts of the brain, an important breakthrough that may lead to better treatment and recovery. The study, “Dissociation between frontal...

Scientists create new map of brain region linked to Alzheimer’s disease
Curing some of the most vexing diseases first requires navigating the world’s most complex structure—the human brain. So, USC scientists have created the most detailed atlas yet of the brain‘s memory bank. Cartographers of the cranium, a USC research team has illustrated the internal circuitry of the hippocampus in detail that would make the great...

Distant brain regions selectively recruit stem cells
New neurons (white) enter the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain that processes odor signals. Stem cells persist in the adult mammalian brain and generate new neurons throughout life. A research group at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel reports in the current issue of Science that long-distance brain connections can target discrete pools...
