Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – You are sitting on your couch flipping through TV channels trying to decide whether to stay put or get up for a snack. Such everyday decisions about whether to "stay" or to "go" are supported by a brain region called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is part of the prefrontal cortex. Neuroscientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have now identified key circuit elements that contribute to such decisions in the ACC. CSHL Associate Professor Adam Kepecs and his team today publish results that, for the first time, link specific ...

Humans and most mammals can determine the spatial origin of sounds with remarkable acuity. We use this ability all the time -- crossing the street; locating an invisible ringing cell phone in a cluttered bedroom. To accomplish this small daily miracle, the brain has developed a circuit that's rapid enough to detect the tiny lag that occurs between the moment the auditory information reaches one of our ears, and the moment it reaches the other. The mastermind of this circuit is the "Calyx of Held," the largest known synapse in the brain. EPFL scientists have revealed the ...

Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, the progressive, fatal condition, in which the motor neurons that control movement and breathing gradually cease to function, has no cure.

Keeping the water in backyard ponds and water gardens clean and clear can be a challenge, especially in summer when the sun gets more intense and temperatures start to rise. Heat accelerates the growth of filamentous or string algae in ponds. String algae is the long hair-like algae which is dangerous to fish and plant life. While some pond owners resort to using chemicals to combat this problem, a growing number are turning to natural solutions, like barley pond straw, to clean and clear their ponds. Pond straw works in combination with moving water and sunlight. Submerging ...

There's good reason that Industry Week calls meetings "The Great White Collar Crime." With estimates that these functions waste over $37 billion dollars a year, the statistics around meetings don't serve the industry well. And, with 9 out of 10 people reportedly admitting to daydreaming during these functions, meetings have become equivalent to a workplace timewaster. A new book released this year serves to change the old-school meeting mindset. "Creative Facilitation," written by expert meeting facilitators Viv McWaters and Johnnie Moore, explains ...

These pieces of literature should provide a challenge to students, but should not become so difficult that the reading process is unpleasant for the pupil. ...

Kitchen Inspire feels this is a common mistake and one which should be corrected: chefs need baking supplies even if they do not make pastries. Desserts are only one aspect of baking. Chefs often use ovens to create masterworks that have nothing to do with sweets. Roasted chickens, broiled vegetables, and a wide host of commonly served dishes require baking, and these dishes are best created in the proper baking pans and bakeware. Ensuring ...
