| H.M.'s brain yields new evidence: 3-D model of famous amnesiac's brain helps illuminate human memory Posted: 28 Jan 2014 08:32 AM PST During his lifetime, Henry G. Molaison (H.M.) was the best known and possibly the most studied patient of modern neuroscience. Now, thanks to the postmortem study of his brain, based on histological sectioning and digital three-dimensional construction, scientists around the globe will finally have insight into the neurological basis of the case that defined modern studies of human memory. |
| Hurricane Sandy may be a blessing for tiny piping plover Posted: 28 Jan 2014 07:31 AM PST The piping plover, a threatened shorebird, is expected to capitalize on new habitat created by Hurricane Sandy on hard-hit Long Island, N.Y. The storm created wider sandy beaches, the plover's preferred habitat. |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:47 AM PST Researchers have developed a new stretchable and transparent electrical conductor, bringing the potential for a fully foldable cell phone or a flat-screen television that can be folded and carried under your arm closer to reality. |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:45 AM PST Scientists in Germany are using artificial nerve cells to classify different types of data. These silicon 'neurons' could recognize handwritten numbers, or distinguish plant species based on their flowers. |
| Living cold-water coral reef discovered off Greenland Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:43 AM PST By sheer coincidence, Canadian researchers have discovered a reef of living cold-water corals in southern Greenland. The first-ever Greenlandic reef is located in southwest Greenland and was formed by cold-water corals with hard limestone skeletons. There are several species of coral in Greenland, but this is the first time that an actual reef has been found. |
| Study analyzes content of nightmares, bad dreams Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:41 AM PST According to a new study, nightmares have greater emotional impact than bad dreams do, and fear is not always a factor. In fact, it is mostly absent in bad dreams and in a third of nightmares. |
