How brain hears the sound of silence: Separate brain pathways process
Researchers have isolated an independent processing channel of synapses inside the brain's auditory cortex that deals specifically with shutting off sound processing at appropriate times. Such regulation is vital for hearing and for understanding speech. Defect In Gene Causes 'Neuralgic Amyotrophy'
Neuralgic Amyotrophy is a painful disorder of the peripheral nervous system. This heritable disease causes prolonged acute attacks of pain in the shoulder or arm, followed by temporary paralysis. Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) connected to the University of Antwerp, have uncovered a small piece of the molecular puzzle of this disease by identifying the defects in the gene responsible for this disorder. Foreign Relations of the United States, 1961-1963: Cuban Missile Crisi
This volume of the federal government publication "Foreign Relations of the United States"contains the text of meeting summaries, briefing records, memoranda, and other material about the 1962-63 Cuban Missile Crisis and aftermath. Most documents are from U.S. agencies; includes some correspondence received from the Soviet Union during this conflict. Provides abbreviations and a list of people involved. From the U.S. Department of State. GROWing The Next Generation Of Water Recycling Plants
A vegetated rooftop recycling system has been developed that allows water to be used twice before it is flushed into the communal waste water system. Jewish in Seattle: The Official Website of the Jewish Federation of Gr
Find news, a calendar of events, listing of volunteer opportunities, list of holidays and candle lighting times, and many links, including sites for seniors and teens. The History of Valentine's Day
Extensive background on why we celebrate thisday and who St. Valentine was. There are also sections on the romances of Harry and Bess Truman, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Jackie and Rachel Robinson. From the History Channel. Purdue Scientists See Biochemistry's Future - With Quantum Physics
Using powerful supercomputers, a team of physicists has found that the quantum property of electrons called "spin"needs to be considered to obtain a picture of how many biochemical reactions take place. In particular, a class of metal-based proteins that includes hemoglobin and chlorophyll, can be better understood with the technique. Why Diving Marine Mammals Resist Brain Damage From Low Oxygen
No human can survive longer than a few minutes underwater, and even a well-trained Olympic swimmer needs frequent gulps of air. Our brains need a constant supply of oxygen, particularly during exercise. Certain animals -- including dolphins, whales and sea otters -- appear to be protected by elevated levels of oxygen-carrying proteins in their brains, according to a new article. Selection On Sex Cells Favors A Recombination Gender Gap
Males and females of the same species can be strikingly different. Even the amount of genetic reshuffling that goes on during egg and sperm production differs between males and females in most species. An evolutionary reason for this has eluded researchers since the phenomenon was originally discovered in fruitflies, Chinese silk worms, and amphipods almost 100 years ago. Researchers Prove Existence Of New Type Of Electron Wave
New research led by University of New Hampshire physicists has proved the existence of a new type of electron wave on metal surfaces: The acoustic surface plasmon, which will have implications for developments in nano-optics, high-temperature superconductors and the fundamental understanding of chemical reactions on surfaces. The research, led by Bogdan Diaconescu and Karsten Pohl of UNH, is published in the July 5 issue of the journal Nature.
