Iowa was a key destination on U.S. Marine Cpl. Michael Meyer's road to recovery from severe respiratory failure that nearly took his life. How he ultimately came to the UI is a story of personal strength, family devotion, and the collaboration between UI Heart and Vascular Center specialists and medical personnel from the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force.

University of Iowa researchers have found that self-awareness is a product of a patchwork of pathways in the brain. The research challenges an accepted theory that three regions in the brain are critical in self-awareness.

Psychological concepts and the theories of evolutionary development of self-awareness have been called into question by research with "Patient R" at the UI.

Donors from all walks of life give their bodies to the Deeded Body Program in the UI Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology so that faculty can show health sciences students how the human body works.

A research team led by the University of Iowa has upended current thinking about areas in the human brain responsible for self-awareness.

The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine will hold its annual memorial service for the Deeded Body Program at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24, at Oakland Cemetery, 1000 Brown St., Iowa City.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have pinpointed for the first time the area in the human brain where doubt arises. The finding helps explain why older people, as well as others with damage to a specific brain region, are more prone to fall victim to deception and scams. Results published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.

A new study has proven that pregnant women who are overweight affect how their children grow and develop. A team led by a University of Iowa researcher compared the weight and height of babies born to overweight and obese mothers with those born to normal-weight mothers.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a key protein that causes muscles to atrophy. The protein, Gadd45a, is responsible for 40 percent of the gene activity associated with muscle deterioration. The finding opens the door to therapies to block Gadd45a and thus to deter muscle atrophy. Results appear in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
