In addition, scientists have been able to produce spongiform symptoms in mice injected with diseased brain matter from cows.
What happens, you have a child who can do things, motor skills and visual and eye contact, and then they reverse back because of the deterioration that's going on in the brain matter.
The trauma that causes intraparenchymal hematomas often is responsible for so-called white matter shear injuries torn axons in the brain's white matter.
It depends on a recent body of work which suggests that the brain's white matter (the wiring that connects the main bodies of the nerve cells, or grey matter, together) is less dense and less abundant in the brain of an autistic person than in that of a non-autist.
The pinlike electrodes, which protrude into the brain's gray matter, picked up signals from the neurons nearby.
One study modelled the amount of exposure to organophosphates (another kind of AChEi) received by veterans and found that higher estimates of exposure are associated with greater losses of the brain's white matter.
ECONOMIST: Was Gulf-war syndrome caused by chemical poisoning?
One experiment measured the brain structure of pathological liars, and compared it to normal controls more specifically, the ratio of gray matter (the neural tissue that makes up the bulk of our brains) to white matter (the wiring that connects those brain cells).
Researchers at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in New Orleans (Oct 13-17) presented studies showing how stress, no matter its cause, alters brain circuitry in ways that can have long-term effects on mental health.
But during adolescence the brain then ruthlessly prunes connections between brain cells, synapses, in the grey matter.
They found at least 5% lower concentrations of N-acetyl-aspartate in two key areas of the brain, the basal ganglia and frontal white matter.
The researchers found that the girls with CD had less gray matter in an area of the brain called the amygdala, which not only governs our fear response, but it plays a role in our perception of whether others are experiencing fear or not.
FORBES: Kids With Behavior Problems Have Changes In The Brain
Therefore, it should not be surprising that the zombie brain would look and function differently than the gray matter contained in your skull.
While nerves in the arms, legs and peripheral organs can sprout back at the rate of up to 1 millimeter per day, adult neurons in the brain or spinal cord, the so-called gray matter, were long assumed incapable of growing back after an injury.
No matter how much your participants squirm and complain of brain aches, insist.
FORBES: "Junky Jacquie Hates to Waste" and Other Modern Tales in Sustainability
In one 2009 study from the University of Bonn, in Germany, researchers found that subjects prone to fits of anger had less gray matter in the amygdala, the part of the brain that regulates emotion.
Thomas Nagel, a distinguished American philosopher, once remarked that to say now that consciousness is a physical state of the brain is to be in the position of an ancient Greek who proclaims that matter is energy: what he says is true, but there is no understanding of how it can be true, no framework into which to fit the discovery.
Other brain cancer cells, by contrast, were incapable of forming new tumors, no matter how many were injected into the mice, Dirks wrote last month in the journal Nature.
Otherwise, the brain will be too busy ensuring its survival to accept any other solution, no matter how elegant, right, logical, or plain old commonsensical it may seem to the rest of us.
FORBES: Do You Rule With Claws and Teeth? Try Leading With Engagement Instead
This is done by examining the combined concentration of gray and white matter, or nerve cells and fiber tracts, in parts of the brain not normally used for verbal processing the hippocampus and cerebellum, normally associated with memory and motor learning.
Literal representations of the human brain appeared on the front of several outfits, while more abstract interpretations of "gray matter" appeared on dresses in the form of shiny metallic coils in blue and orange-red.
The new Brain Activity Map project hopes to understand and classify every signal from every cell in our grey matter, identifying where everything from thoughts, feelings and inspiration originate -- at a level beyond anything currently underway.
Some of things that would tell you, no matter how old the child is chronologically, to tell you what's going on in the brain.
