Brain drain, or, as the European Commission prefers to call it, brain mobility, remains a hot issue for Europe.
An EU conference last month on researchers' careers in Europe underlined that fact once more and also made it clear that brain mobility cannot be a goal for its own sake.
The trip is funded through the brain mobility project, established under the Early Nutrition Project to enable young scientists working on the project the opportunity to travel abroad and work with collaborators, and incidentally give them a networking boost.
Any reasonable and feasible localized therapies, such as external beam radiotherapy, thermal ablation, or tumor embolization, should be undertaken if the disease is threatening vital structures (eg, spinal cord, brain), impairing mobility (eg, affecting the arm, leg, shoulder), or causing pain.
Moscufo et al. recruited 99 subjects to a longitudinal study about mobility, brain changes and cardiovascular risk factors [ 50, 51].
The conference was organised around a number of plenary sessions and workshops focusing on brain drain, obstacles to mobility, and obstructions faced by mobile researchers in establishing a European research career.
A neurologist in New York said that Emmanuel had a severe case of cerebral palsy, a condition that results from faulty development of or damage to the brain and includes impaired mobility, spasticity and, in many cases, seizures, hindered mental development and difficulty swallowing.
After the injection of stem cells into the damaged area of his brain, his balance and mobility improved as did his hand strength.
And we're getting close to brain upgrades: breakthroughs in mobility assistance for quadriplegics are coming all the time.
22 Another possible mechanism is that cognitive training could have activated brain structures involved in mobility and walking, which, in turn, could affect peripheral blood flow.
Also, MRI techniques may be used to study interstitial water movement: diffusion-weighted MRI provides a quantitative parameter, i.e. the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which is thought to reflect water mobility in brain tissues.
