During the first three days, the men finished off the contents of three lunch buckets; their only remaining sustenance was yellow mine water. Incredibly, doctors found that they suffered only dysentery and a few scratches. When Edward Scarbro, 38, emerged, his first reaction was to run 100 yards to the mine office and call home...
...reaction of Congress to the campaign has been pretty much as expected. Congress does not like "blackmail," and that phrase is loaded with racial overtones...
...world's leading experts on brain processes met at a New York Academy of Medicine symposium sponsored jointly by the Manfred Sakel Institute* and the Foundation for Research on the Nervous System. In sum, what the researchers had to say was that when brains work, the reaction is chemical -and complex...
Pecking Order. The reaction is more readily observable in animals, Hydén reported. When a normally lefthanded rat was forced to learn to use his right paw to get food out of a tube, cells in the most highly developed part of the brain (the cortex) produced a special kind of RNA as well as proteins. A similar thing happened in goldfish that were forced to learn a new kind of swimming by having buoyant plastic foam stuck under their chins by Dr. Victor Shashoua of M.I.T. Fish that Dr. Shashoua made work just as hard swimming against...
...Samuel Bogoch of Boston's Foundation for Research on the Nervous System taught pigeons to peck a particular button to get a kernel of corn from a machine. He found that the chemical brain reaction was not only the creation of new brain protein, but protein-sugar combinations (mucoids) as well. Until three years ago, said Dr. Bogoch, only 20% of the brain's proteins had been identified. This has now been raised to 60%, and those known are divided into 16 groups. Two of these groups show a marked, though brief, increase when a pigeon learns...
