How the brain’s cells work together to transform a system of electrical pulses into thoughts, actions and emotions?

A new way to capture the brain’s electrical symphony. How voltage readings from individual neurons could power the next revolution in neuroscience. Embed fluorescent, voltage-indicating proteins right into the cell membranes of neurons. Voltage imaging can also record electrical chatter between many neurons at once, and then average those signals across large chunks of brain… Continuar lendo How the brain’s cells work together to transform a system of electrical pulses into thoughts, actions and emotions?

Prehistoric children as young as eight worked as brickmakers and miners.

Bones and artefacts suggest that kids laboured at skilled tasks thousands of years ago. The teeth belonged to two children between the ages of one and nine. They date to 2100–3500 BC, making them among the oldest evidence for children engaged in skilled labour. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06747-w?utm_source=briefing-dy&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=briefing&utm_content=20180919
