A study in rats at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory shows that topiramate, currently used for the treatment of epilepsy, can block nicotine-triggered changes in brain chemistry, and may have potential for treating nicotine addiction.
Scientists have found that the mere display of food causes a significant elevation in brain dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This activation is distinct from the role the brain chemical plays when people eat, and may be similar to what addicts experience when craving drugs.

MIT and Brookhaven Lab physicists measured fleeting electron waves to uncover the elusive mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity.
A new x-ray imaging technique yields unprecedented measurements of nanoscale structures ranging from superconductors to solar cells.
The new particle discovered at experiments at the Large Hadron Collider last summer is looking more like a Higgs boson than ever before, according to results announced today.
Building on their history of innovative brain-imaging techniques, scientists at Brookhaven have developed a new way to use light and chemistry to map brain activity in fully-awake, moving animals, opening a new window to the study of brain diseases.
In a paper to be published in an upcoming issue of Energy & Environmental Science (now available online), researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Brookhaven National Laboratory describe details of a low-cost, stable, effective catalyst that could replace costly platinum in the production of hydrogen. The catalyst, made from renewable soybeans and abundant molybdenum metal, produces hydrogen in an environmentally friendly, cost-effective manner, potentially increasing the use of this clean energy source.
DNA 鈥渓inker鈥� strands coax nano-sized rods to line up in way unlike any other spontaneous arrangement of rod-shaped objects. The arrangement鈥攚ith the rods forming 鈥渞ungs鈥� on ladder-like ribbons could result in the fabrication of new nanostructured materials with desired properties.
MIT and Brookhaven Lab scientists use electron microscopy imaging techniques to settle a solid-state controversy and raise new experimental possibilities
