New Light On Nature Of Broca's Area: Rare Procedure Documents How Huma
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in explaining gaps in our understanding of human brain function. The study provides a picture of language processing in the brain with unprecedented clarity. Research To Investigate Links Between Ancient Greeks And Modern Scienc
New research into the Ancient Greeks shows their knowledge of travel inspired early forms of fantasy and science fiction writing. Archaeopteryx Was Not Very Bird-like: Inside The First Bird, Surprisin
The raptor-like Archaeopteryx has long been viewed as the archetypal first bird, but new research reveals that it was actually a lot less "bird-like" than scientists had believed. On Orbit Anomaly Ends DART Mission Early
The Demonstration of Autonomous Rendezvous Technology (DART) spacecraft that was successfully launched Friday at 10:25 a.m. PDT from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., experienced an on orbit anomaly late Friday. Why It Is Easy To Encode New Memories But Hard To Hold Onto Them
Memories aren't made of actin filaments. But their assembly is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synapse sensitivity that researchers think helps to lay down memories. Scientists reveal that LTP's actin reorganization occurs in two stages that are controlled by different pathways, a discovery that helps explain why it is easy to encode new memories but hard to hold onto them. Protein AggregatesIn Lou Gehrig's Disease Linked To Neuron Death
Little is known about the cause of ALS. What is known is that misfolded and damaged proteins clump together in cells to form aggregates and motor neurons die. Scientists have long debated whether or not the protein aggregates actually kill the cells. Northwestern University scientists have become the first to clearly link the presence of mutant SOD1 protein aggregates with neuronal cell death. This could help explain the disease process and lead to new therapeutics. Activities Of Subseafloor Life More Diverse Than Expected
Research on cores recovered by the Ocean Drilling Program show that the activity of microbial life beneath the seafloor is far more diverse than expected, scientists report in the December 24 issue of Science. Understanding The Big Bang: Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Aids Searc
A large scale STAR experiment is currently under way at Brookhaven National Laboratory, with the Sun Grid Compute Utility delivering large-scale computing power and related resources on a utility basis as the project requires. Remembering the Blitz
"The Blitz [air raids on London by Nazi planes] took place between 7 September 1940 and 11 May 1941."This online exhibit features facts and figures, and information about preparation by civilians for the bombings (such as gas masks, blackouts, sheltering in Underground stations), the effects of the attacks on individuals and buildings, and how the Blitz was remembered. From the Museum of London. Study Identifies Energy Efficiency As Reason For Evolution Of Upright
A new study provides support for the hypothesis that walking on two legs, or bipedalism, evolved because it used less energy than quadrupedal knucklewalking. Humans walking on two legs only used one-quarter of the energy that chimpanzees who knuckle-walked on four legs did.
