Australian researchers said that the brain is shrinking faster than what had been resolved through stimulating puzzles or learning new languages.

The news agency reported the Australian "any ABM" The tomography of the brain showed that people who do not adhere to complex mental activity throughout life, suffering from declining growth rate twice more than others, the key part of the brain in old age.

This discovery sheds more light on the link between lifestyle and dementia injury, and gives the force of the manual that mental sport, such as solving puzzles and learning new languages, one that avoids disease of old age.

He said Michael Valenzuela in the College of Psychiatry at the University of New South Wales, "We have strong evidence that people who use the brain more than others to suffer from shrinking brain lower rate."

Valenzuela added, "I hope that this matter is to invite people to use the brain because it helps them to delay or even prevent the incidence of dementia."

The research team studied included 50 people in the sixties over 3 years, found that those who were mentally active throughout their lives have a large memory center of the brain.

It turned out that the brain of mental activity was low throughout their lives reduced by half during the past three.

Valenzuela said, "This significant discovery because the small centre memory may be a specific risk factor for those who develop Alzheimer's disease."

He added that with many pharmaceutical companies seek to find a drug target to prevent the contraction center memory can be for people to help themselves.

He continued, "our research shows that the risk of dementia manageable even at the last stages of life."

It should be noted that other studies have shown that the activity is delaying mental diseases of the brain Hantgton and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Australian scientists find to the discovery say it might be considered a major achievement in the fight against malaria.

The medical team discovered a new mechanism is broken links used by the red blood cells infected with parasitic-stick internal walls of blood vessels.

In that way, will follow the red blood cells infected with normal blood stream to die in the spleen.

The scientists said that neutralize the only one capable of making adhesives distorted cells fail to Sticking walls of blood vessels.

The team discovered a researcher eight proteins that make glue to the outside surface of blood cells.

The professor now Naomi is a member of the team Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research that targeting those proteins is the solution for the treatment of malaria.

It is noteworthy that malaria could be preventable and treatable but can lead to death if treatment was delayed.

Malaria kills over one million people annually, most of the victims were children on the continent of Africa

A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of King's College in London showed that nicotine may help to cure disease dementia.

Treatment depends on nicotine may delay the phase that must then be transmitted patient dementia (dementia) to the House special care, according to the researchers.

Although little impact but may be granted dementia patients up to six additional months of the possibility of life independently.

A team of researchers from the University of King's College have shown the presence of positive effects of nicotine in experiments conducted on mice.

However, the researcher Clive Ward, of treating Alzheimer's Association pointed out that smoking nicotine is not intended to, saying that although the therapeutic properties of nicotine, but when it is absorbed through the smoking health risks become greater than the benefits

American scientists said they succeeded in cloning Jin-called "Sun" "sun" can control a Tomato "tomato" and perhaps other vegetables and fruit


He said researchers at the University of Ohio American feat that this would help in the disengagement depending on the complexities of genetic form of fruits and vegetables Semakula addition to the growth of plants.

The assistance of Professor Esther van der Knapp, responsible for the study funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, that although the multiple forms of Andorra few available information on the genetic basis for these changes.

The van der Knapp, "We are trying to understand what kind of gene because of the large volume of fruit and change shape, and we know that each gene involved will be able to understand how to change the form of tomatoes and therefore understand what controls the form of various other crops such as peppers, cucumbers and the remaining fruit" .

Replying to a question whether it is possible for a laboratory in which it operates to produce an option rounded Van der Knapp replied "I am not sure but it looks beautiful in power."

Some American researchers have discovered that the smile of the child have an impact on the mother where the magic that would revitalize the reward center in the brain.

A group of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine to boycott the state of Texas experiment on the 28 presented to the pictures of children including babies.

And a variety of expressions in the face of images of children between happiness and sadness and neutrality.

He went through the experience of scientists published their results magazine "Focus" on its German mail today, Monday, the flow of blood in the brain help mothers-ray MRI.

The result showed that a mother to her child a picture of smiling active in the brain reward centers noticeably. The scientists know for some time that these regions in the human brain is responsible for the production of dopamine, associated with drug addiction.

She said the impact I'm responsible for the study: "smile of the child's mother, born naturally with the utmost sense of joy."

The experiment also revealed that the child Smiling is the most influential mother of the child sad or neutral as that smile Jr. affect the mother smile more than any other child.
