Light adjustable lens shows promise for improved vision for cataract patients
A new light-adjustable intraocular lens is showing promise for clearer vision for cataract patients, according to results from early clinical trials.
Scientists discover the part of the brain that causes some people to be lousy in math
Most everyone knows that the term "dyslexia" refers to people who can't keep words and letters straight. A rarer term is "dyscalculia," which describes someone who is virtually unable to deal with numbers, much less do complicated math.
Picower research finds unexpected activity in visual cortex
For years, neural activity in the brain's visual cortex was thought to have only one job: to create visual perceptions. A new study by researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows that visual cortical activity can serve another purpose -- connecting visual experience with non-visual events.
ORGAN TRANSPLANTS JUST AS SUCCESSFUL IN THOSE WITH MENTAL RETARDATION
Mental retardation does not lessen the likelihood that a patient will benefit from a kidney transplant, a new study suggests.
Gold nanoparticles could improve antisense cancer drugs
In the fight against cancer, antisense drugs, which prevent genes from producing harmful proteins such as those that cause cancer,
mit sheds light on howtumor cells form
MIT cancer researchers have discovered a process that may explain how some tumor cells form, a discovery that could one day lead to new therapies that prevent defective cells from growing and spreading.

Statistics for neurological disorders are grim. More than a million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease alone
device effective in zapping the pain out of migraines
An electronic device designed to "zap" away migraine pain before it starts may be the next form of relief for millions of people who suffer from the debilitating disease.
Neurons grown from embryonic stem cells restore function in paralyzed rats
For the first time, researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals.
Viagra boosts high altitude exercise up to 45% for some cyclists
Sildenafil (Viagra) significantly improved the cardiovascular and exercise performance measures of trained cyclists at high altitude, mostly because the drug helped some participants improve a lot -- up to 45% -- while others showed little change. Sildenafil provided no benefit at sea level

Why are uniforms uniform?
If someone, somewhere hadn't thought to make team uniforms the same color, we might be stuck watching NBA finals or World Cup soccer matches with only two players and a ref
Mechanism for neurodegenerative diseases linked to transport proteins
Hampering the transport of proteins within cells may underlie several adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases, such as Huntington's, ALS and Kennedy disease. Understanding how this cell transport is blocked in these diseases may offer targets for future therapy
Worms hold clue to link between cancer and ageing in humans
A type of protein linked to cancer prevention in humans may also play a role in ageing, according to findings published in the journal Science
The appearance of your hands can reveal your age
Want to know a person's real age? Just look at their hands, reports a study in the June issue of Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryŽ, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
Magnetic field act as "remote control" to deliver nanomedicine
A nanoparticle-based drug delivery concept in which an applied magnetic field directs the accumulation in tumor cells of custom-designed, drug-filled nanocarriers has been demonstrated by University at Buffalo researchers
The mystery behind love-hate relationship
People who see their relationships as either all good or all bad tend to have low self-esteem
With cochlear implants, earlier use leads to better speech
