Capitalism is Moral?

Aloyzio AchuttiemAMICOR - 3 horas atrás
The Templeton Foundation has posted two interesting, perhaps complementary, and yet in reality --opposing announcements. They have sought for quite some time to advance the concept of capitalism. In addition to this interest, a strong component of the Foundation's grant making portfolio is character development. Someone should really look into the virtues and character of those that promote and practice capitalism. At issue- I think- is why notions of virtue, compassion, justice and maybe virtuous character get thrown out the window in the practice (pursuit?) of capitalism? ... mais »

How memory formation is triggered by stem cellsFebruary 29, 2012 Researchers at the RIKEN-MIT Center for Neural Circuit Genetics have discovered an answer to the long-standing mystery of how brain cells can remember new memories while also maintaining older ones. They found that specific neurons in a brain region called the dentate gyrus serve distinct roles in memory formation depending on whether the neural stem cells that produced them were of old or young. The study links the cellular basis of memory formation to the birth of new neurons, a finding that could unlock a new class of... mais »
