Meditation Affects Brain Activation to Reduce Pain - Brain activity altered in multiple areas responsible for cognitive modulation of pain - ModernMedicine
FRIDAY, April 8 (HealthDay News) -- Meditation significantly reduces both pain intensity and unpleasantness, and the pain relief is associated with alterations in brain regions related to cognitive modulation of pain, according to a study published in the April 6 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience . Fadel Zeidan, Ph.D., from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C., and colleagues assessed the neural mechanisms by which mindfulness meditation influences pain in healthy participants. Participants underwent four days of mindfulness meditation training in the presence of noxious stimulation. Brain activity was measured before and after meditation using arterial spin labeling functional magnetic resonance imaging.

Artificial nerve grafts made from spider silk : Neurophilosophy
EVERY year, hundreds of thousands of people suffer from paralyzed limbs as a result of peripheral nerve injury. Recently, implantation of artificial nerve grafts has become the method of choice for repairing damaged peripheral nerves. Grafts can lead to some degree of functional recovery when a short segment of nerve is damaged. But they are of little use when it comes to regenerating nerves over distances greater than a few millimeters, and such injuries therefore often lead to permanent paralysis. Now though, surgeons from Germany have made what could be a significant advance in nerve tissue engineering.
