Imagine if you could order sandwich bags with bugs printed on them?
Here is what I am reading today:
An on-line catalog of many interesting things, including the strange lunch bag you see above!
“Visual and tactile objects in our surroundings are translated into a perception by complex interactions of neurons in the cortex. The principles underlying spatial and temporal organization of neuronal activity during decision-making and object perception are not all understood yet. Jason Kerr from Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, in collaboration with Winfried Denk from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, now investigated how different sensations are represented by measuring activity in neuronal populations deep in the cortex.”
“Research to be presented at the upcoming annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB), the foremost society for research into all aspects of eating and drinking behavior, suggests that people can become dependent on highly palatable foods and engage in a compulsive pattern of consumption, similar to the behaviors we observe in drug addicts and those with alcoholism.”
“Designed by a neuromuscular neurologist at the University of Michigan, Nerve Whiz is a free application for medical professionals interested in learning the complex anatomy of nerve roots, plexuses, and peripheral nerves. Nerve Whiz goes beyond simple innervation charts to help you interpret your clinical examination. Select which muscles are weak, or point to where the patient has sensory loss, and the application will provide you with a differential diagnosis of localizations, complete with relevant pictures and diagrams.”
