Seizures Tied to Brain Circuit Defect | Bioscience Technology Online
biosciencetechnology.com — “Researchers have identified a brain-circuit defect that triggers absence seizures, the most common form of childhood epilepsy. The investigators showed how defective signaling between two key brain areas — the cerebral cortex and the thalamus — can produce, in experimental mice, both the intermittent, brief loss of consciousness and the roughly three-times-per-second brain oscillations that characterize absence seizures in children.” View full resource at biosciencetechnology.com

New Study Questions Reliance on Animal Models in Cardiovascular Research | Bioscience Technology Online
biosciencetechnology.com — “Anyone who follows science has read enthusiastic stories about medical breakthroughs that include the standard disclaimer that the results were obtained in mice and might not carry over to humans. Much later, there might be reports that a drug has been abandoned because clinical trials turned up unforeseen side effects or responses in humans. Given the delay, most readers probably don’t connect the initial success and the eventual failure.” View full resource at biosciencetechnology.com

New Genetic Technique Converts Skin Cells into Brain Cells | Bioscience Technology Online
biosciencetechnology.com — “A research breakthrough has proven that it is possible to reprogram mature cells from human skin directly into brain cells, without passing through the stem cell stage. The unexpectedly simple technique involves activating three genes in the skin cells; genes which are already known to be active in the formation of brain cells at the foetal stage.” View full resource at biosciencetechnology.com
