...events occurring a few seconds apart. Previously, scientists could only differentiate between mental events that took place a half a minute to a minute apart, Bucker said. At Harvard, Buckner will spearhead the fMRI center being built for the new Center for Brain Science, said Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Joshua R. Sanes, who directs the Center for Brain Science. The fMRI center is scheduled to open in 2007, Sanes said. “The fact that we’re going to have scanners on campus is really exciting,” Buckner said. He added that...
...Cell,” a mutation in a single gene that controls production of the protein stathmin can embolden mice to make them more willing to explore and less likely to fear painful or dangerous stimuli. Vadim Y. Bolshakov—director of McLean Hospital’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS)—said that the study’s findings could serve as a launching point for research in psychiatric medicine. “Stathmin is a protein that is also found in human beings...
...Hear Me Now? Inventor: Randall Roberts Availability: Now, at audiologists' offices; up to $299 To Learn More: starkey.com & elihearing.com This device makes it easier for hearing-aid users to go cellular. The tiny ELI plugs into the bottom of most behind-the-ear hearing aids, essentially turning them into wireless cell-phone headsets and eliminating the static that often occurs when hearing aids and mobile phones interact. A miniature microphone transmits the wearer's voice back to the phone. And for people who use in-the-ear hearing aids, there's another version of ELI that hangs on a cord...
...make some money. In the beginning, business didn't work out any better than politics. His initial venture, in energy, failed in six weeks; his second one, in real estate, took six months to fold. But in the early 1980s, Warner saw possibility in the far-out idea of cellular telephones and organized investor groups to apply for the free licenses then available. In return he got a stake in the new companies, one of which was Nextel. His friends, Warner recalls, thought he was crazy. Now he jokes, "Anytime you're around me, please don't turn off your...
...nostalgia for his 1950s childhood and a true salesman's pride. Now CEO of Motorola, Zander, 58, doesn't hide the fact that he has tried to animate the company with his particular brand of Brooklyn moxie. He acknowledges that Motorola has a storied past. (Its engineers invented the cellular phone and the walkie-talkie, and it was one of the world's first manufacturers of semiconductors.) But in the years before Zander took over, Motorola had been losing ground to the market-leading muscle of Nokia and to the stylish, inexpensive new products from smaller rivals like Samsung...
