Platypus Flosser Canada

GENOME (Matt Ridley)

The mapping of the genome has been one of the most ambitious adventures undertaken by 'modern man. The goal was so impressive as to leave baffled: thousands of genes to be deciphered and millions of chemical bases to rebuild. But little by little around the project has grown a voltage similar to that which accompanies major events. Today, after a public entity, a corporation headed by a former surfer were challenged with no holds barred to unravel the secrets and the elusive beauty, the genome has become a celebrity. He is dedicated magazines and websites as a movie star. Knowing our genetic code has put us in front of a new way of doing science, to tackle the disease, to understand the organizations and to rethink our origins.
untangling between past and future, history and prospects, Matt Ridley takes us by the hand through the maze of complex biological systems, concern from the beginning to eliminate a common misconception: "genes do not exist to cause disease." The knowledge of the "kit" that we inherit from our ancestors is not a condemnation, but always a possibility. Twenty-two chapters one to tell the autobiography of a species, ours, Chromosomal jumping from one to another. A lucid guide to overcome the misunderstandings that surround sounds and one of the most compelling issues of contemporary scientific view, and understand, finally, because we are free and as determined by DNA

COMMITTEE OF PARENTS November 19, 2009


Hello everyone.
We are already at the second meeting of the Assembly of the Parents' Committee.
below the record of what happened.

squad: all parents of pupils
Present: nr. 22 parents

Parents gathered from 18.30 to 20:15 to deal with the following agenda: Approval of the Statute
;
Election of officers;
Website and blog of the Parents' Committee;
Consideration of the projects identified by the school management;
Project "Alcoholism and Drug Addiction: let's talk!
ASEOP Donation Association.

The meeting approved the following:
1. The Statute of the Parents' Committee was approved and signed by the parents present. Copies are available upon request to the President and the online blog at: http://comitatogenitoripavullo.blogspot.com/2009/02/statuto-del-comitato-dei-genitori.html
was elected President Mrs Rita Captains, Vice-President Mr. Mario Parenti, Secretary Luis Leon, Treasurer Maureen Rondelli.
Ms Claudia Luppi is available to take delivery of the cookbooks created last year to be advertised and sold during the year.
Parents become law Councillors present: Vignudini Monica, Cinzia Manfredini (1 C), Joseph Mignola, Paul Fiore, Marzia Fagg (1D), Chiletti Mara, Brusiani Hermann, Laura Bastai (1F), Francesco Morandi (1G), Luppi Claudia (2A), Maurizio Rondelli, Gorrieri Tiziana (2D), Clement Baldoni, Gianelli Christian Parenti, Mario, Captain Rita (2G), Gazzard Robert, Alessandra Guidi (3A), and Biolchini Antonella Luisa Leoni (1B and 3C).
Mr. Francesco Morandi informed the meeting that the Committee's website is up and running. The invitation for the next meeting will be made via e-mail and therefore are collected email addresses of the parents present.
Among the projects identified by the headmaster for a contribution from the Parents' Committee two seem interesting
Draft English with native speakers;
Musical Theatre Project-prof. Sunflowers and Professor Vitulano for classes 2 ... ....
These projects are still under development is appropriate to collect more precise information first taking a decision.
like the idea of \u200b\u200bproposing to the school that the CG may every year, "finance" (perhaps only partially) a theater and musical activities for classes 2.
parents present agreed about the importance of prevention in the school on issues such as alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking, sexuality etc.
Therefore, it seems important to continue the collaboration (already) between school psychologists and ASL ASL and possibly invite a manager to explain to the CG which can be the most effective interventions.
6. The Assembly may decide to make a donation to the Association ASEOP to fulfill a commitment made last year. The sum will be 700 €, representing 10% of collection for the sale of all cookbooks. The next meeting will decide how to publicize the initiative.

Descartes' Error (Antonio R. Damasio)

dates back to Descartes that drastic separation between emotion and intellect, which for centuries has been a guiding policy research, and a speculative principle does not infringe. But the reality is proving to be different. In particular, the fascinating currently ongoing investigations into the brain moving in the opposite direction. Damasio was perhaps the first to be placed under careful consideration the dire consequences of the separation of Descartes, and it is now possible to give that error not only on the basis of speculative arguments, but also from the analysis Clinical cases - that Damasio presents a lively narrative comparable to that of Sacks - the evaluation of experimental neurological facts. All the lines seem to converge towards the same end: the essence of the cognitive value of emotion. Forcing the current linguistic expression, Damasio use "feeling" to denote something new conceptually, and introduces an important distinction, and so far not detected between the basic feel and feeling of emotions that distinction here is based on observations of anatomical architecture functional central nervous system and not only on grounds of psychological functionalism (such as in Johnson-Laird). It makes it a great step forward towards the clarification neurobiology of emotional capabilities and its tight twists with rational action. Right here are concentrated on the news, that make this book one of the most exciting reading in a field - the relationship between brain and consciousness - which is still a lot to discover.
Phineas Gage was a skilled and experienced American labor leader, that in an unlucky day for him in 1848, had his skull pierced by a pile of iron three feet long and ten centimeters, a diameter of about three centimeters. The pole, shot accidentally by the explosion of a blasting charge, penetrated into the Gage's left cheek and left the top of his skull had crossed the front of the brain. Gage lost consciousness for a few minutes. He was treated by a very capable doctor - Dr. John Harlow - who avoided the worst consequences of the inevitable infection. Healed, and not only that his cognitive abilities (language, reasoning, etc..) Are essentially intact. Yet, had undergone a fundamental change, which would have made impossible a normal life. In the words of his doctor, he had become "bizarre, insolent, capable of coarse expletives (which previously had been completely alien) ... sometimes stubbornly stubborn, and yet capricious and fluctuating: always ready to develop many programs of future activities that out as soon as he had outlined. " He was unable to return to his old job, n, to take them more for a sufficient period, died in San Francisco in 1861, perhaps following a series of attacks of epilepsy. What exactly had happened to Phineas Gage, and what happens to others who, like him, suffer an injury to the selective prefrontal cortices of the brain? Damasio's excellent book, well translated by Philip Macaluso, is - among many other things - an attempt to answer this question. The answer is detailed, and involves a lot of knowledge and speculation, not a few (not all mandatory, but always interesting): among other things, is interwoven with a theory of the relationship between mind and body, with a hypothesis about the cost- tution of the self and consciousness and a theory of emotions and feelings. Here I will confine myself to the main line of this plot. The problem is clear. Patients prefrontal Gage behave as "irrational": in particular, are being impaired their decision-making. For example, on one occasion a patient of Damasio, having to choose the date for the next (a Decision trivial and not particularly problematic), went on for almost half an hour to weigh the pros and cons of the alternatives in relation to other commitments under the conditions of time, to every possible element interferences, but then accept without hesitation the date proposed by the doctors. Still, these patients have no abnormalities cognitive processes: they talk and think normally. This suggests that the decision is not a purely cognitive task, that is not - how would a tradition that comes from Kant to modern theories of rational choice - a pure calculation of costs and benefits, which examines one after the other courses' Finally, possible action by choosing one characterized by the highest "expected utility". If you really had to decide in this way, we would like the brain studied by Damasio: he shall go no. We always under the conditions of the donkey of Buridan, who dies of hunger could not decide between two haystacks. Of course, if the two piles of the donkey were the same, but the point is that it is not always easy to determine - In cognitive terms closely - which of two piles is the biggest: "It is not easy to keep in mind the multiple levels of gains and losses that we must compare: simply disappear from the board memory representations of the intermediate steps that must be taken into Serbian. .. Of those intermediate steps seems lost, as attention and working memory have limited capacity. " Where a decision can be on time and resources normally available to a human being, there must be an automatic mechanism that simplifies dramatically, and the alteration of this mechanism must have caused the impairment faced by prefrontal patients. This mechanism, for Damasio, has to do with emotions, which play in the production of rational behavior, a role far more important than what they are usually attributed. Damasio believes that there are good reasons, both neurobiological and psychological, to dismiss the image established that emotions were evolutionarily more ancient prerogative of the nucleus of the brain (hypothalamus, limbo, etc..), While rationality is managed by the cerebral cortex recently. According to him, rationality is what we call the combined effect of recent antique pieces and parts. When deliberating, the results of alternative courses of action that we imagine is connected to the somatic marker, positive or negative. The marker is a signal that serves to encourage or discourage the choices to the outcome of which is associated, so that they are strongly preferred or excluded from consideration instead of acting. The clearest example of somatic marker (negative) is the queasy feeling in your gut we feel when we imagine a negative outcome of some possible choice. But it is essential that the body undergoes a change really, there is an alternative mechanism in which the body is bypassed: the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala tell the somatosensory cortex of organizers or-as if the body had been put into a certain state. The brain, in other words, the body receives an "excited" even if the body is not really changed. In both cases, the idea is that the alternatives are also short-listed according to their emotional content, where emotion is a set of changes in body state connected to particular mental images that have activated a specific brain system, and feel an emotion is the experience of those changes in juxtaposition to the mental images that initiated the cycle. I do not know what the anticartesiano Damasio is aware of the strong similarity between his way of looking at feelings and emotions and the theory of the passions of a large Cartesian heterodox, Spinoza: the feeling, Damasio, is the experience of what the body ago, "while racing thoughts regarding specific content "Spinoza, emotions and feelings in the unifying concept of love, said that an affection is a 'disease of the body ... and the whole idea of \u200b\u200bthis disease. "A very clever series of tests show that the prefrontal patients are less able to emotions of normal subjects, in effect, for example, that images do not exhibit somatic responses to emotionally, knowing that These emotionally charged images, and being perfectly able to explain what is specific emotions: they are able to say that a picture should horrify, but nothing in their body expresses such a horror. In them has broken the circuit imagination - somatic responses - mental change than in normal subjects is the basis of deliberative processes. On the other hand, there are according to Damasio neurobiological reasons to believe that the prefrontal areas are the ones responsible for managing most of the processes involved in the circuit. The image of a brain that sends signals to the body and in turn will "listen" continuously and carefully the answers ("the brain is bound with the hearing officer of the body") is generalized, in Damasio's book, an image of the relationship between mind and body and a theory of the self, which is central to the continued representation of the cerebral state of the body. The self is in fact part of autobiographical memory (as we know their names, where we live, what we like, what life we \u200b\u200blived, etc..) and in some cases not less than the constantly repeated representation of the state of our body, hence the painful loss of self of patients with anosognosia, which are doomed to a knowledge "objective," outside of their bodies before, because their mind no longer perceives its present state. And here also the anti-Cartesian polemic of Damasio (which gives the title to the book, and is largely unfair) against the Cartesian dualism - the separation of mind and body - and subject against the priority of mind over body, which would be expressed by famous "Cogito ergo sum". For Damasio, on the contrary, the mind and body comes from the fact whole body, not only from the brain.

Umbilical Hernia Post

Recollections of My Life (Santiago Ramon y Cajal)

Autobiography of Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934). This book contains stories ranging from childhood to moments of daily life and reflections on his pioneering research in neuroscience. (The book is in English, it is not easy to find but can be ordered at amazon.com at about $ 30) The scientific dispute between "diffuse nervous network" and "neuron theory" supported respectively by Golgi and Cajal had become personal rivalries and dissension which reached its zenith in the 11th December 1906 in Stockholm when the two were awarded the Nobel for their research, which was renamed Nobel "hate."

Tattoos With Meningitis

The brain infinity (Norman Doidge)

Cheryl has the constant sensation of falling due to a deficit of its vestibular apparatus, Barbara has an asymmetrical brain and is considered "delayed" , Michael is an eye surgeon who suffers a disabling stroke forty-four years. These are just some of the stories told at the frontiers of neuroscience in this essay for them and for many other types of patients now have a real chance of recovery and complete recovery. The discovery that paved the way for this is well-founded hope of neuroplasticity, which is the property of the brain to be more malleable, not only in childhood. The brain were a machine immutable and that every part could not be replaced or repaired was taken in the last century indisputable: Once jammed, the perfect device would remain hopelessly corrupt. The argument that sparked the revolution of neuroscience, however, tells us that the brain can change itself and can functionally reorganize all its parts to remedy the deficiencies that are created as a result of trauma or the slow aging process . Not only that. The whole experience human can be explained by exploring the potential of the malleable brain: creativity and love, addiction and obsession. It is very complex neurological processes that are investigated, indeed, vigorously told with simplicity and clarity. (20 €, 2007, 410 p., Ponte alle Grazie)
"In this book you can find a very interesting chapter devoted to Ramachandran and phantom limbs, Merzenich studies on the plasticity of maps of the sensory cortex in monkeys and many other studies on the plasticity of the brain. Good Read

A woman who claims to speak with God, an athlete who has lost arm but not the feeling of being able to have a young man involved in a tragic car accident convinced that the parents have been replaced by surrogates, and even in the case of the famous humorist and cartoonist James Thurber, read by hallucinations and fantastic "substitute of reality "due to the progressive loss of vision. Each of these pathological disorders is the starting point to investigate extraordinary machine that is animated and the brain in an attempt to reconstruct the architecture and operation and to explain the our intellectual predispositions or practices, our behavior and moods.

Marino by a whisker did not hide his gold medal to the Province of Taranto, who has suffered 23, and nearly passed the town of Locri (RC) with 21 surveys that ranked third in This dishonorable national ranking.

finally come to light on the opaque activity with which the municipal administration of Marino held to assign tasks and to hire staff in interpreting laws and regulations at will "

First lesson of neuroscience (Alberto Oliverio)

On the Italian market there good books university (usually translations) dedicated to neuroscience as well as works that deal in a more focus on specific aspects of this large and complex subject area: it is less easy to find texts that can serve as an introduction to simple but sufficient and proper. The libretto by Alberto Oliverio performs this role well by tapping into four chapters, agile and clear as many issues which, while not exhaustive, they manage to convey the idea of \u200b\u200ba science of many faces with deep roots and evolving. The first chapter begins very usefully with a brief reference to the historic birth of modern neuroscience and in particular to one of the events that marked the origins of cellular neurobiology: the controversy between Golgi and Cajal the two researchers who will share the Nobel in 1906 on the nature discrete or continuous neural networks. Call important to reiterate that the neurosciences are beginning to land disputes controversies of confrontation between conflicting interpretations. Since the discovery of the mechanisms of communication between nerve cells is passed to the study of the brain and its organization: the second chapter ( Ontogeny and phylogeny ) deals with it starting from the comparison between the evolutionary and developmental neurobiology, through the study of the emergence structures increasingly complex and specialized, and their ability to respond adequately to stimuli from the external outlines the functions of different areas and connections between them. In the next chapter discusses the functions of the mind's control of the emotions from the memory to oblivion with a constant reference to the neural basis of behavior. Finally, the last of these issues are explored and reported to the never-ending debate on the relationship between mind and brain cognitive function. The book is presented as a lesson from the title (or more realistically I think a number of lessons) in an introductory college course, this cut means that the various topics are treated in a concise manner. The part of the cellular neurobiology, for example if you wanted to listen to the mood of the reviewer might be a bit 'more developed, but the overall structure of the book is balanced and responds well to which the author has set.
