Thinking simple… Thinking complex…
Neuroscientists have revealed that a simple brain region, known for processing basic sensory information, can also guide complex feats of mental activity. The new study involving mice demonstrated that cells in the somatosensory cortex, the brain area responsible for touch, also play a key role in reward learning. It is the basis for how we…

Implanting information directly in the brain… So?
Two neuroscientists at the University of Rochester say they have managed to introduce information directly into the premotor cortex of monkeys. The researchers published the results of the experiment in the journal Neuron. Although the research is preliminary, carried out in just two monkeys, the researchers speculated that further research might lead to brain implants…

Vaccination, over-simplification and the need to have Marketing separate from Medicine…
Vaccination does help. (1) But to what extent? It seems that after vaccines started spreading, diseases started declining too. (2) But what a minute! See how the decline in diseases started even before the vaccines started? (the graph is small if you do not pay for the article, but again it shows) At the same…

Evolution, species, oversimplification & the death of Occam…
Evolution does not necessarily form species. (“species” based on the ‘similar genes’ definition) (1) This applies to Meiofauna and probably to other large-populated organisms like bacteria. Latest theories have found that not even human cells within the same brain have the same genome. (2) And the same applies for the gens into our body. (3)…

Environment, ecology, food, poverty, complex, simple…
A leaked climate report shows that food shortages and poverty rise. (1) Typical stupid research focusing on the symptoms and not on the cause. But what is the cause of these phenomena? Some postulate a rather “simple” theory: How can the same Earth cater and provide for all of us while we keep on increasing…
