University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | The University of KansasTumors called high-grade gliomas wire themselves into the healthy brain, receiving and interpreting electrical signals from normal neurons, a Stanford study has found.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Stanford University | Massachusetts Institute of Technology | The Johns Hopkins University | University of MichiganNeuroscientists had thought parts of the brain associated with reading and face recognition shrunk as children grow. In fact, research from Stanford University shows they may be growing electrical insulation that makes their brains more efficient.
