...Jerusalem's Hebrew University, Nairn and French Neurobiologist Jacques Le Magnen spoke to a gathering sponsored by the European Chemoreception Research Organization, joining some two dozen other scholars who reported on such topics as the sniffing power of infants, the sex life of guinea pigs and a three-nation T shirt-smelling study...
Tilting Coffin. The most striking aspect of the bush society is its remarkable stability. Two U.S. blacks from Harvard, Neurobiologist S. Allen Counter Jr. and Admissions Officer David L. Evans, have spent five years studying the 5,000 surviving bush people of the interior and have produced a one-hour documentary film, The Bush Afro-Americans of Surinam and French Guiana...
...question that has no answer, because Percy will be satisfied with none. He doesn't want the acoustician or neurobiologist to tell him what happens physically, and he does not want metaphysical explanations from philosophers or algorithmic ones from grammarians...
Last summer Neurobiologist Nicholas Seeds of the University of Colorado Medical Center reported that he had not only been able to reassemble brain cells from mice, but that the reconstructed tissue continued to develop in a normal way. Now, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Seeds and a colleague, Albert E. Vatter, disclose that the cells in the test tube mature and form synapses, the vital cell-to-cell connections that transmit messages through the brain and the rest of the nervous system. The material also appears to develop the myelin "insulation" that covers part...
Their reasoning was that just as DNA carries genetic "memories," so other molecules might encode and carry information plucked from transient electrical impulses. Some early researchers proposed the idea of a separate brain molecule for each memory. The hypothesis of Swedish Neurobiologist Holger Hydén of the University of Göteborg was a bit more sophisticated; he thought that RNA was the key to memory formation and was encouraged in his belief by the results of his experiments with rats. When he taught them special tasks, he discovered that the RNA had not only increased in quantity but was different...
