Not So Great Expectations: Pain in HIV Related to Brain’s Expectations of Relief

Neuroimaging study reveals potential brain mechanism underlying chronic neuropathic pain in individuals with HIV. Findings may guide new clinical treatments targeting patients’ expectations for pain relief.

Novel Imaging Technique Improves Prostate Cancer Detection

…at University of California, Los Angeles, describe a novel imaging technique that measurably improves upon current prostate imaging – and may have significant implications for how patients with prostate cancer are ultimately treated.

Human Brain Houses Diverse Populations of Neurons, New Research Shows

…to identify different subtypes of neurons in the human brain. The research lays the groundwork for “mapping” the gene activity in the human brain and could help provide a better understanding of brain functions and disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, schizophrenia and depression.

UCSD Study Shows Why Protein Mutations Lead to Familial Form of Parkinson’s Disease

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, have shown for the first time why protein mutations lead to the familial form of Parkinson’s disease

UC San Diego Neurobiologist Part of $2 million Project to Study Brain, Motor-skill Learning

A multi-institutional research team has been awarded a $2 million National Science Foundation grant to build an interdisciplinary research program that explores how the brain learns and stores information.

A New Approach to Neuroimaging Analysis

A new method for neuroimaging analysis is shown to work with small groups of participants, opening the door for many studies that don’t have access to massive sets of brain images.

New Imaging Tool Advances Study of Lipid Biology

From flies to humans, there are many types lipids operating at once. Now, a team led by UC San Diego bioengineers presents what they believe is the first method for distinguishing multiple lipid subtypes in cells and tissue samples by using nondestructive label-free optical imaging methods.

Building a Better Brain-in-a-Dish, Faster and Cheaper

Writing in the current online issue of the journal Stem Cells and Development, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine describe development of a rapid, cost-effective method to create human cortical organoids directly from primary cells.

Brain Imaging Studies Reveal Neurobiology of Eating Disorders

Walter Kaye, MD, professor of psychiatry and director of the Eating Disorder Treatment and Research Program at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, and colleagues are beginning to be use advanced brain imaging technologies to study and improve eating disorder treatments.

Study Identifies Cause for Excessive Folding of Gyri in Human Cerebral Cortex

UC San Diego researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain’s wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function.
