Study Pinpoints Key Mechanism In Brain Development, Raising Question About Use Of Antiseizure Drug

Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a key molecular player in guiding the formation of synapses – the all-important connections between nerve cells – in the brain. This discovery, based on experiments in cell culture and in mice, could advance scientists’ understanding of how young children’s brains develop as well as point to new approaches toward countering brain disorders in adults.

Study Finds Innappropriate Drug Prescriptions Wasting Millions, Raising Health Risks

A recent study in Oregon suggests that drugs designed for treating the most severe mental illnesses are often prescribed at inappropriately low doses and at considerable expense, for use in conditions where their benefit has not been established. In this case, prescription drugs that might cost as much as $20 to $25 a day were being widely used to treat problems for which they were not FDA-approved.
