Counting on Your Brain to Keep Score:
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleid=09355D13-E7F2-99DF-32DB8D3583D2F40B A team of Duke University researchers report in PLoS Biology that they discovered a pocket of "accumulator neurons" in the region of a monkey brain called the parietal cortex that appears to integrate and sum up the total quantity of individual items. Sun-Swilling, Heat-Resistant Extremophile Discovered in Yellowstone: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=09...85277D72&chanID=sa003 what they found was a new "wildly different kind of phototrophic bacterium" in the 150-degree Fahrenheit (66-degree Celsius) water |

Does Caffeine Perk Up Memory?:
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=3C...730BE244&chanID=sa003 And benefits seemed to increase with age: the mega–coffee drinkers were 30 percent less likely to suffer memory loss at age 65 and 70 percent less likely over age 80 than non–coffee drinkers. Ladies only apparently: One other interesting note: for some reason, men apparently do not receive the same caffeine memory boost as women. Ritchie said researchers are not sure why but speculate that it may be because women are "more sensitive to the effects of caffeine…. Their bodies may react differently to the stimulant, or they may metabolize caffeine differently." |

Back to the future, via a donut-shaped vacuum?:
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?apage=...st%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull But Ori puts forth a different approach eliminating the need for exotic matter. "If the proper initial conditions were achieved, the time machine would evolve on its own without any further intervention," he asserts. "It can be likened to shooting a ship with a cannon. Once the cannon is aimed properly and fired, the cannonball hits the ship on its own, driven solely by the laws of physics. The machine is space time itself. If we were to create an area with a warp like this in space that would enable time lines to close on themselves, it might enable future generations to return to visit our time." |

Artificial Life Likely in 3 to 10 Years
Scientists Around World in Race to Create Artificial Life; Success Likely in 3 to 10 Years This undated photo provided by ProtoLife Srl.of Venice, Italy, shows vesicles, artificial membranes for cells, made from scratch. Teams around the world, including ProtoLife, are trying to create synthetic life from scratch, and the first step many of them are working on is making a container for the life form such as these vesicles. The large cell container (with little ones inside of it), shown in computer-created coloring, is about the thickness of a human hair..... |
