When I first entered my mentor Jim Watson’s office as a graduate student in ancient times (i.e., 1957), I saw a slip of paper fastened by scotch tape to the fluorescent light fixture over his desk. On it he had clearly printed in ink: DNA –> RNA –> protein. So, there it was—a clear guiding principle; a new science was starting….

Retired cardiac surgeon Dr. Charles Butler, a former president of USA Boxing and the chairman of AIBA’s medical commission, compared the rate of concussions one with and one without headgear. The results were astounding. Butler examined 28,802 rounds, in which headguards were worn in slightly more than 14,000 and in which they were not worn

A new study shows that students may see a return of their symptoms when they head back to school after having a recent concussion. More than 2.5 million sports related traumatic brain injuries happen every year in the United States. A new study by the Children’s Hospital in Wisconsin finds returning to school after suffering a

The pharmacological strategy for the treatment of schizophrenia has not changed in the six decades since chlorpromazine was introduced in 1952. Studies since the ‘90s have demonstrated the antipsychotic potential of cannabidiol (CBD). In particular, CBD has been shown to be effective in attenuating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia with a negligible side-effect profile. However, the

Hundreds of articles published this month further advanced our knowledge of neuroscience. Lots of new discoveries published in July relate to some of the most fundamental processes in the brain that shape our daily life, as well as to the practical problems doctors have to deal with on a regular basis. The selection of articles presented here reflects my personal opinion about their importance – there were many more interesting articles that simply could not be covered by this short review.
In the beginning of July, scientific community marked the birthday of Alfred Gilman, who received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his work on G-proteins. These days, the description of G-proteins and their functions can be found in every textbook on physiology and neurology, as they are heavily involved in the processes of intercellular communication. Even in this review G-proteins are mentioned in relation to some recent findings.
