			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Collective team of researchers has isolated the specific nerves that send to pleasure stimulations to the brain and now researchers claim that they have better understanding of body action to the pleasurable touch.</p>
<p>Study findings help to understand the importance of touch is sustaining human relations. To stimulate this sensation people have to caress with 4 to cm per second. For decade researchers are trying to find the nerves that convey the message of pain and pleasure to the brain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-161" title="nerve_diagram" src="http://www.healthnative.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nerve_diagram.jpg" alt="nerve_diagram" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Neuropathy occur in the peripheral nervous system that damage the extensions of nerve cells. In this way nerves unable to bring the exact message to the brain and sometime these provide the wrong stimulation to the brain and person feel pain without any cause.</p>
<p><span id="more-160"></span>But the researchers, in this study which was including 20 volunteers, deeply focused on the pleasure, an opposite sensation of the pain.</p>
<p>In the experiment, researchers tested the response of people when their forearm skin stroked at different speeds. They recognize the C-tactile nerve fiber responsible for the stimulation of pleasant touch. If the stroke is not within the optimum range the</p>
<p>Researchers also noticed that these nerves are only present on the hairy skin. Researchers believe that the Mother Nature have inhibited the nerve response when used as functional tool.</p>
<p>Researchers noticed that the speed of stroke was almost equal to the frequency at which mother provides comfort to a baby and couples show affection.</p>
<p>As human our basic instinct is reproduction but some mechanisms also exits that are related to the behavior that keep relationship going.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A hyper activity in the memory storage part of the brain indicates the risk of dementia according to the UK study.</p>
<p>Researchers already know that people which have the rough type of gene ApoE4 have a high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Now the findings have associated delicate activities of hippocampus with the same mutation in people as young as 20.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-157" title="dementia-risk" src="http://www.healthnative.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dementia-risk.jpg" alt="dementia-risk" width="300" height="205" /></p>
<p>The researchers of UK strongly believe that, over active hippocampus raise the risk of dementia in later age. This study could be the objective in developing techniques to point out people with increased risk of dementia.</p>
<p><span id="more-156"></span>Number of copies of ApoE4 rough gene increase the chances of developing dementia for instance with one copy person have four times more chances and with two copies chances get increased to ten percent. But according to the analysis of 36 volunteers with 20 to 35 years age, it is not necessary.</p>
<p>“The results of the study are of great interest but this doesn’t mean to accept that Alzheimer’s has started to develop in the young volunteers,” neuroscientists Dr Peter Nestor said.</p>
<p>There are multiple causes of Alzheimer’s and are complex too which include both environmental and genetic. Better comprehension can lead to develop the way the potent treatments to help people minimize their risk.</p>
<p>“This study can act as milestone for the further incoming studies to understand functioning of brain in younger people,” Professor Clive Ballard stated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A latest study has suggested that the increase in the school leaving period to 15 over 50 years back could go in the direction of dropping the rates of developing dementia in the old people.</p>
<p>It was shown in a previous research that education is valuable as it raises the number of neural connections located in the brain. Poor cognitive role is recognized to be associated with the development of dementia, moreover, it is known already that dementia had a less likeliness to be developed in the people who been stayed in touch with education for a long period of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-146" title="longer-schooling" src="http://www.healthnative.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/longer-schooling.jpg" alt="longer-schooling" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>One of the researchers expressed amendments in the school leaving age as these were in the study should also show progress in cognitive abilities hence minimize dementia rates in the future.</p>
<p><span id="more-145"></span>Dementia occurs when people turn down cognitively to the end where it gets in the way of their ability to do basic things such as cooking.</p>
<p>Although dementia happens in later age, the alterations which lead towards it have a tendency to start at very early stages. The researchers are considering these findings very significant in order to predict what is going to be happened in the future.</p>
