I do know that a certain form of Glioblastoma does run in families; however, 3 sisters and all so young is a tragedy.


BONITA SPRINGS, Florida — A Florida family is remembering another child whose life was taken too soon.

Ten-year-old Isabella Mading died on Saturday, February 6th after her year-long battle with a rare form of brain cancer — the same disease that killed her older brother in 2010 and her older sister 2013.

Women have superior memory, social skills than men

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, robotics/AI

Enough said; hope folks are paying attention when re-creating those “Cognitive Thinking” skills in AI; otherwise, they miss the boat with almost 60% of the world’s population.


NEW YORK: Male and female behavioural differences correlate with their different brain networks, say researchers, including one of Indian origin.

Structural differences in the brain may relate to male and female behaviour differences such as men being more likely to be better at learning and performing a single task at hand and women being more likely to exhibit superior memory and social cognition skills, the study said.

Mammal brain frozen and thawed out perfectly for first time

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food, neuroscience

Interesting. What do you think of this?


A mammal brain has been defrosted from cryogenic storage in an almost perfect state for the first time. This breakthrough, accomplished using a rabbit brain, brings us one – albeit tiny – step closer to the prospect of reanimating a human brain that has been cryogenically preserved.

After death, organs begin to decay, but we can delay this by cooling these tissues, just like freezing food. But in the same way that a frozen strawberry becomes soggy when defrosted, it is difficult to perfectly preserve mammals at cold temperatures. We, and strawberries, contain large amounts of water, which freezes into ice crystals that damage cells.
