...Glenn Giesler at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, hypothesized that the mechanism by which scratching relieves an itch takes place not along the nerve fibers of itchy skin but deep within the central nervous system - specifically, in the spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons in the spinal cord, which transmit information about pain, temperature and touch to the brain.

...astrocyte, providing new insight into the far-reaching effects of the disease as well as possible therapeutic targets. Astrocytes are star-shaped cells that make up almost half the volume of the brain, and were traditionally thought to be support cells. It is now known that they can transmit signals through transient increases in calcium levels. “Astrocytes are often thought to play second fiddle to neurons but they play an ever increasing role in maintenance of the brain,” said Brian J. Bacskai, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School...

On that date, all full-power TV stations will be required to stop broadcasting analog TV signals and transmit only digital ones. Most people won't be affected: you can pick up digital TV using a regular old antenna--you just need to make sure your TV has a digital tuner in it, which all new and newish TVs have. After March 1, 2007, manufacturers were pretty much required to put a digital tuner in every TV they made. If you have...
