Brain

Brain has a thin line between love and hate - at least in the brain, scientists have shown.
A new study reveals that the brain's "love" and "hate" circuits share identical structures."Like love, it is often seemingly irrational and can lead individuals to heroic and evil deeds. How can two opposite sentiments lead to the same behaviour?"

BRAIN implant is being created that should more reliably detect and forestall epileptic seizures.

Neuropace of Mountain View, California, is already testing in humans an implant that detects seizures and then delivers an electric current to stop them. However, it only monitors eight locations in the brain and so can give false positives, says Pedro Irazoqui of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
