...currently completing medical school at Harvard and plans to continue to study molecules and evolution. "The cell, as an evolutionary unit, could emerge from replicating molecules through very simple physical mechanisms," said Chen. "This work suggests that evolving higher levels of biological organizati...

Teenager moves video icons just by imagination

...us about the brain," said Moran, who said the team plans to test more pediatric subjects. "No one has ever seen if brain signals from children are different. We'll try to determine if teenagers have different frequency distributions when their cortex becomes active. We might question if the frequency alter...

Coral stress 'like never in history'

...Excellence in Coral Reef Studies, A/Prof. Pandolfi plans to continue studying fossil coral reefs around the world in order to help build a bigger picture of how the world’s reefs have survived devastation in the past ?so that managers can help them continue to survive into the future....

On the golf tee or pitcher's mound, brain dooms motion to inconsistency

...s, but they don't change the variable way the mind plans motion. An analogy might be to doing math problems. Someone who has studied will find it easier to solve a new problem than someone who has not prepared. Given the endemic nature of movement variability, the research doesn't point to any definitive...

Master planners in brain may coordinate other areas' roles in cognitive tasks

...t neuroscientists call a task set." Task sets are plans for accessing different parts of the brain to achieve a goal, such as reading the word "dog," coming up with verbs associated with the word "dog" or determining the color of the letters in the word "dog." Much of the human brain's power derives fro...

Study provides first look at the 'birth' of a retina cell

...ie off. In future studies, the Kellogg scientist plans to use this new mouse model in conjunction with other mouse models of specific diseases, such as macular and other retinal degenerations. Gene profiling of rods and cones in disease models at various stages of pathogenesis could help scientists ident...

Trials for new drug to overcome HIV

...ebo in addition to their standard drugs. There are plans to try the drug along with new regimes tailored to individual patients, though Allaway warns that larger trials are needed and PA-457 will not reach the market until 2009 at the earliest. Other HIV researchers are also enthusiastic about PA-457. "It...
