• Alzheimer's might be transmissible in similar way as infectious prion diseases, research suggests
  Researchers injected the brain tissue of a confirmed Alzheimer's patient into mice and compared the results...: None of the mice injected with the control showed signs of Alzheimer's, whereas all of those injected with Alzheimer's brain extracts developed plaques and other brain alterations typical of the disease.

• Big Tobacco knew radioactive particles in cigarettes posed cancer risk but kept quiet, study suggests
  Polonium210, that could have been eliminated by a technique called acid-wash; but as it would ionize nicotine, thus rendering it more difficult for the smoker's brain to absorb, acid-wash has not been used.

• How the brain makes memories
  when it comes to learning, the neuron behaves like a giant antenna, with different branches of dendrites tuned to different frequencies for maximal learning; for the best effect, the frequency needs to be perfectly rhythmic -- timed at exact intervals.

• New evidence of age-related decline in the brain's master circadian clock
  The SCN keeps the system of multiple distributed circadian oscillators in synchrony, but disruptions in the SCN lead to disrupted sleep, as well as dysfunction in memory, the cardiovascular system, and the body's immune response and metabolism. ... the difference between the highest levels of activity during the daytime and the lowest levels of activity during the nighttime is much smaller in the middle-aged mice."

• Many maps of the brain
  the brain has a number of "modules" dedicated to self-location. Each module contains its own internal GPS-like mapping system that keeps track of movement, and has other characteristics that also distinguishes one from another.

• New research might help people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder
  The researchers found that stress-induced glucocorticoid hormones enhance memory formation through a direct, physical interaction of glucocorticoid-binding receptors ("glucocorticoid receptor") with a particular intracellular signalling pathway in a specific population of neurons of the hippocampus.
