Pain
REPORT | NEUROSCIENCE An amygdalar neural ensemble that encodes the unpleasantness of pain NA SEÇÃO: REPORT | NEUROSCIENCE Pain is an unpleasant experience. How the brain’s affective neural circuits attribute this aversive quality to nociceptive information remains unknown. By means of time-lapse in vivo calcium imaging and neural activity manipulation in freely behaving mice encountering noxious stimuli, we identified a distinct neural ensemble in the basolateral amygdala that encodes the negative affective valence of pain. Silencing this nociceptive ensemble alleviated pain affecti... mais »

The Urban-Rural Divide
The Urban-Rural Divide Why Geography Matters *A Conversation with Jonathan Rodden* *In the past, it was dispersed rural interest groups who favored free trade, and concentrated urban producers who wanted protection for their new industries. Now, in the age of the knowledge economy, the relationship has reversed. Much of manufacturing now takes place outside of city centers. Ever since the New Deal and the rise of labor unions, manufacturing has been moving away from city centers and spreading out to exurban and rural areas along interstates, especially in the South. In an era of int... mais »
Cerebellum Social Behaviors
Surprising Role of the Cerebellum in Reward and Social Behaviorsby Neuroscience News Researchers reveal the role the cerebellum plays in helping to control the brain's reward system. The researchers identified a direct connection from the cerebellum to the ventral tegmental area. The study may shed new light on neural networks associated with social dysfunction. Read more of this post “The role of cerebellar circuitry in mental-health relevant behaviors is an understudied area, one in which we have just begun to see increased interest, said Janine Simmons, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the N... mais »

Today's encore selection -- from *The Internet Turns Forty: First Message Crashed System* by Ker Than. The first internet message sent in 1969 was "lo." The meaning and efficacy of messages sent via the internet has been declining ever since: "On October 29, 1969, [the] message ['lo'] became the first ever to travel between two computers connected via the ARPANET, the computer network that would become the Internet. The truncated transmission traveled about 400 miles (643 kilometers) between the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Stanford Research Institute. The electro... mais »

The Salt Scam
The Salt Scam [image: Go to the profile of Dr. Jason Fung] Dr. Jason FungFollowing Sep 26, 2018 By 1982, salt was called ‘A New Villain’ on the cover of TIME magazine. The 1988 publication of the INTERSALT study seemed to seal the deal. This massive study involved 52 centers in 32 countries and laboriously measured salt intake and compared this to blood pressure. Across all populations, the higher the salt consumption, the higher the blood pressure. Seemed like a slam dunk, although the effect was quite small. A 59% reduction in sodium intake would be predicted to lower the blood pre... mais »
