Nurturing neuronal connections can protect your memory and help you stay mentally alert. A sharp mind and strong memory depend on the vitality of your brain's network of interconnecting neurons, and especially on junctions between these neu...
David Wipf, a recent graduate of the electrical and computer engineering Ph.D. program at UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering, has won a 2006 Outstanding Student Paper Award at a prestigious conference for his work on human functio...
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) took a high resolution "action shot" of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the developme...
Sea urchins are small and spiny, they have no eyes and they eat kelp and algae. Still, the sea creature's genome is remarkably similar to humans' and may hold the key to preventing and curing several human diseases, according to a Universi...
