MRN SEEKS FAMILIES WITH INFANTS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH

The Mind Research Network continues groundbreaking research on the development of the infant brain, and MRN seeks families with infants for the project CEREBRO (Comprehensive Evaluation of Relationships in Early Brain Response Overtime).

MRN Researchers are recruiting healthy, full-term babies born around April 1, 2009 for evaluation to begin July 1 at the Albuquerque neurodiagnostic facility. A developmental evaluation and brain scan are part of each visit with your child, and there is financial compensation. For more information, contact the study coordinator at MRN, (505) 515-4141 or cerebro@mrn.org. (HRRC#: 09-168)

MRN HOSTS THE FIRST DOMENICI NEUROSCIENCE SYMPOSIUM

Personalized Medicine for Mental Illness on the Horizon

P. Murali Doraiswamy of Duke University, Senator Domenici, MRN Board Members Laurie Flynn, Barry Baumel and Al Romig

The Symposium, held May 1 in Washington DC, featured scientists from such leading neurodiagnostic facilities as the Mind Research Network (MRN), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and Harvard University. The researchers presented their enterprising approaches to unlocking the puzzles of schizophrenia and addictive disorders.

“We are making significant progress in identifying complex biomarkers for schizophrenia and addiction,” said Dr. Kent Hutchison, MRN Chief Science Officer. “We expect this research to accelerate and translate into clinical applications, and eventually provide personalized medicine for people with mental illness.”

RESEARCH LINKS BRAIN CHEMISTRY TO CREATIVITY

Scientists at the Mind Research Network are able to predict aspects of creativity by measuring quantities of certain molecules in the brain. This same technique can be used to predict cognitive function decline in mental illness and brain disease. “Differences in the creative process of a ‘normal’ human brain could ultimately show us how these functional differences affect brain disease, treatment and delivery,” said Rex Jung, Ph.D., Research Scientist at MRN and Assistant Professor, Department of Neurosurgery at the University of New Mexico.

US SENATOR (RET.) PETE DOMENICI, MRN TEAM ANNOUNCE MENTAL ILLNESS RESEARCH BREAKTHROUGH

Senator Pete Domenici

A news conference was held February 17th at the Mind Research Network to announce that MRN scientists can differentiate between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder through brain imaging. Joining the Senator for the announcement was Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chávez.

MRN researchers, working through a National Institute of Health grant with Yale University and the University of New Mexico, are able to show the diagnosis with a single imaging (fMRI) scan. MRN researchers report a 93% accuracy rate. “The significance of this research is the possibility of better diagnosing the patient’s problem, and that helps doctors’ better refine the treatment process,” said Principal Investigator Dr. Vince Calhoun, MRN Director of Image Analysis and Magnetic Resonance, and University of New Mexico associate professor.
