[ Mad Scientist World News] Humans have 200 million light receptors in their eyes, 10 to 20 million receptors devoted to smell, but only 8,000 dedicated to sound. Yet despite this miniscule number, the auditory system is the fastest of the five senses. Researchers credit this discrepancy to a series of lightning-fast calculations in the brain that translate minimal input into maximal understanding.

[Techeye.smartsilvers.com] Tech Eye for the Older Guy (and Gal!): laparoscopic surgical robot in existence. It was the first operative surgical robotic system in the world cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in performing many surgical procedures including general laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic (chest) surgery, laparoscopic radical prostatectomies, and thoracoscopically assisted cardiotomy procedures.
[Huntingtons.info] HD Blog: Research Archives: Evidence suggests N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation is involved in the degeneration of striatal medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) in Huntington's disease (HD). We tested the hypothesis that enhanced NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity is mediated by the mitochondrial-associated apoptotic pathway in cultured MSNs from YAC transgenic mice expressing full-length huntingtin (htt) with a polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion of 46 or 72 (YAC46 or YAC72).
