听Study has far-reaching implications for unconscious role of infant experiences on adult development
An infant鈥檚 mother tongue creates neural patterns that the unconscious brain retains years later even if the child totally stops using the language, (as can happen in cases of international adoption) according to a new joint study by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro and 香蕉视频鈥檚 Department of Psychology. The study offers the first neural evidence that traces of the 鈥渓ost鈥� language remain in the brain.

<p>New study examines link between brain cortex and food buying habits</p>
<p>MONTREAL: Will that be a pizza for you or will you go for a salad? Choosing what you eat is not simply a matter of taste, conclude scientists in a new study at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 香蕉视频 and the 香蕉视频 Health Centre. As you glance over a menu or peruse the shelves in a supermarket, your brain is making decisions based more on a food鈥檚 caloric content. </p>

Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 香蕉视频 and 香蕉视频 Health Centre have shown that a member of the protein family known as SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) is a key to why tumour cells multiply uncontrollably, especially in the case of glioblastoma. The SUMO family proteins modify other proteins and the SUMOylation of proteins are critical for many cellular processes. Identifying SUMO鈥檚 role in the cancer cell growth will lead to a new strategy for glioblastoma treatment.

An international team of researchers has discovered a significant genetic component of Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy (IGE), the most common form of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden, uncontrolled electrical discharges in the brain expressed as a seizure. The new research, published in this week鈥檚 issue of EMBO Reports, implicates a mutation in the gene for a protein, known as cotransporter KCC2.听
