#31: Autism: One Label, Many Diseases | Mental Health | DISCOVER Magazine The latest findings “move us closer to identifying underlying biochemical pathways involved in autism and set us up to develop better treatments,” says Bryan King , director of the Autism Center at Seattle Children’s Hospital. “We already have some candidate drugs that might potentially correct problems in these pathways.” The full text of this article is only available to DISCOVER subscribers. Most of those aberrations occur in genes that affect the development and functioning of the brain. So far, about 10 percent of autism cases have been associated with genetic mutation, a figure Nelson predicts will rise as scientists study more genomes in greater detail. http://discovermagazine.com/2011/jan-feb/31

Bipolar children and SMD children share some attributes, she said. Both have difficulty identifying facial emotions, while children with major depression and anxiety respond to faces more like healthy controls. Functional MRI testing reveals that ADHD children have increased left amygdala activation while SMD children have lower activation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience Beginning in 1966, Eric Kandel and collaborators examined biochemical changes in neurons associated with learning and memory storage. [ edit ] Modern neuroscience In 1952, Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley presented a mathematical model for transmission of electrical signals in neurons of the giant axon of a squid, action potentials , and how they are initiated and propagated, known as the Hodgkin-Huxley model . In 1961-2, Richard FitzHugh and J. Nagumo simplified Hodgkin-Huxley, in what is called the FitzHugh–Nagumo model . In 1962, Bernard Katz modeled neurotransmission across the space between neurons known as synapses . Neuroscience - Wikipedia

Scientists also knew that new neurons continue to form in the hippocampuses of adults, even into old age. But it wasn't really clear what those newborn brain cells actually do. Inokuchi's team suspected that the integration of new neurons was required to maintain neural connections, but they realized it might also go the other way. The incorporation of new neurons into pre-existing neural circuits might also disturb the structure of pre-existing information, and indeed that is what their new findings now show. The researchers found that irradiation of rat's brains, which drastically reduces the formation of new neurons, maintains the strength of neural connections in the hippocampus. To make memories, new neurons must erase older ones http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091112121601.htm?amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29&amp;utm_content=Netvibes

How the Mind Works | Video channel on TED.com Dan Dennett contemplates the mind as an ecosystem in which a new class of entities -- memes -- can compete, coexist, reproduce and flourish, and asks what sorts of nefarious things these entities might be up to. An enthusiastic Dan Gilbert presents his new research on the peculiar, counterintuitive -- and perhaps a smidge deflating -- secret to happiness. And Jeff Hawkins explains why a napkin-sized sheaf of cellular matter, wrinkled into a ball, will fundamentally change the direction of the computer industry.
