Stable mind. Unstable mind. Learning. Being.
Mathematical model shows how brain remains stable during learning. Complex biochemical signals that coordinate fast and slow changes in neuronal networks keep the brain in balance during learning, according to an international team of scientists. Neuronal networks form a learning machine that allows the brain to extract and store new information from its surroundings via…

Intestines in mice: The environment as Existence’s matrix for Dasein…
Slimy chunks of human gut can now grow up and get to work inside of mice. Transplanted into rodents, tiny balls of tissue balloon into thumb-sized nuggets that look and act like real human intestines, researchers report October 19 in Nature Medicine. The work is the first time scientists have been able to transform adult…

Mind, waves, neural connections…
Researchers from The University of Western Australia have shown that electromagnetic stimulation can alter brain organisation, which may make your brain work better. In results from a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers from The University of Western Australia and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in France demonstrated that weak sequential electromagnetic…

The mall. Death. Gone.
A mall gone. Abandoned. A shadow of its glorious past (1, 2) What was full is now empty. And yet, something still seems alive. Where people were, now no one is. And yet, something still fills the room. Where noise and music filled the space, now silence fills the room. And yet, it seems to say…

Curiosity, microbes, observing.
A recent study of swabs taken from the rover before it launched found its surfaces contained 65 bacteria species. Engineers are supposed to put spacecraft like Curiosity through a stringent cleaning regimen before launch. Yet certain species of bacteria are known to survive even NASA’s cleanrooms. Wondering about what remained on Curiosity even after cleaning,…
