rVLPFC
This tiny bit of the brain could offer clues about addictionIt’s responsible for getting you to stop doing things. *By **Nicole Wetsman* New research published this week in the journal *Neuron* points to a small area of the brain, called the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC), as the region responsible for taking in contextual information (like the spider) and using it to update the original plan. “It’s not directly involved. It’s more monitoring the intent to stop, and not actually doing the stopping,” says Kitty Xu, who conducted the research during her doctoral studies... mais »
The Future of Work
9 Ideas That Summarise The Future of Work (And How You Can Prepare For it) Thomas OppongFollow Work as we know it has changed. Human progress is inevitable. And progress is impossible without change. The industrial revolution required routine skills. Most of them are no longer sufficient to thrive and do better in the current evolution of work.

Calendar design
Francesco BertelliFollow Design Director @ Work & Co, Brooklyn Oct 9 A brief history of calendar designWe are surrounded by objects that have history, that span centuries — and sometimes we completely ignore it. What is the first image you visualize in your head when you think about a calendar? Probably a table with numbers arranged in 7 columns and 5 rows (or 6 row depending on day 1) to display the full month ahead. We use it every day, whether on your phone or on your wall. Same design no matter the medium, the same format has moved from posters to digital apps without any altera... mais »

The Death Value
*The Death Value* Without death every birth would be a tragedy. “We die so that others may live, we grow old so that others may be young”, writes the poet Kate Tempest. 1 Yet medicine continues to strive to keep patients with life-limiting illnesses alive, often beyond the point of benefit. Many people in high-income countries, and those in poorer countries who are able to access quality health care, have an uneasy relationship with death, unlike some traditional societies. 2 Serious people hold out the prospect of immortality, 3 while dying baby boomers want as long a life as p... mais »
