Laser light and brain activity
Pulsed laser light turns whole-brain activity on and off December 18, 2015 [image: Optogenetic light delivery] Study may guide deep brain stimulation therapies used for traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders By flashing high-frequency (40 to 100 pulses per second) optogenetic lasers at the brain’s thalamus, scientists were able to wake up sleeping rats and cause widespread brain activity. In contrast, flashing the laser at 10 pulses per second suppressed the activity of the brain’s sensory cortex and caused rats to enter a seizure-like state of … more…

Flúor = neurotoxina
*Estudo de Harvard classifica o Flúor como uma neurotoxina *Estudo da Universidade Harvard Relaciona o Flúor na Água com o Autismo, Desordens Mentais e TDAH Estudo de Harvard classifica o Flúor como uma neurotoxina. A principal causa de TDAH (Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e hiperatividade) e autismo em crianças pode ser os produtos químicos escondidos à espreita nos alimentos que comemos, a água que bebemos e os produtos que consumimos, diz um novo estudo publicado recentemente na revista The Lancet.

Alzheimer’s from the inside
Alzheimer’s from the insideby vaughanbell There's an excellent short-film, featuring journalist Greg O'Brien, who describes the experience of Alzheimer's disease as it affects him. It's both moving and brilliantly made, skilfully combining the neuroscience of Alzheimer's with the raw experience of experiencing dementia. I found it in this *Nautilus* article, also by O'Brien, who has taken the rare step of writing abook about the experience of Alzheimer's disease before it affected his ability to write. Link to short film Inside Alzheimer’s on *vimeo*. Link to *Nautilus* article. *vaug... mais »

What is happening?
[image: Go to the profile of Gustavo Tanaka] Gustavo TanakaOct 146 min read There is something extraordinary happening in the world Most of us haven’t quite realized there is something extraordinary happening. A few months ago I freed myself from standard-procedure society, I broke the chains of fear that kept me locked up into the system. Since then, I see the world from a different perspective: the one that everything is going through change and that most of us are unware of that. Why is the world changing? In this post I’ll point out the 8 reasons that lead me to believe it.
new metric to track aging
Worm research in life extension leads scientists to discover new metric to track aging December 10, 2015 [image: C. elegans nematode worm (credit: The Goldstein Lab)] Living longer usually means a living longer in old age, but wouldn't it better to extend young adulthood instead? When researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in California administered an antidepressant called mianserin to the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm in 2007, they discovered the drug increased the lifespan of the “young adulthood” of roundworms by 30–40 per cent. So, does that mean it will work in... mais »
