Brain 'entanglement' could explain memories - life - 12 January 2010 - New Scientist
Subatomic particles do it. Now the observation that groups of brain cells seem to have their own version of quantum entanglement, or "spooky action at a distance", could help explain how our minds combine experiences from many different senses into one memory.
'Noisiest' neurons persist in the adult brain
Neuronal survival is a key component to the success of cell replacement therapies in the brain. Current therapies have hit a roadblock because the vast majority of grafted cells do not survive and do not integrate into adult brain circuits. "Our discovery of a survival-determining mechanism in new neurons is likely to have a significant influence on such treatments," said Lois, Edward J. Poitras Assistant Professor in Human Biology and Experimental Medicine at the Picower Institute.
Is synaesthesia a high-level brain power? - life - 17 December 2009 - New Scientist
Now Jamie Ward at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK, and colleagues offer a different explanation. They had 36 colour-grapheme synaesthetes sit a similar test. When given just 1 second to identify the hidden shape, the synaesthetes were more likely to spot it than controls. But they still only found it about 40 per cent of the time. Volunteers' descriptions of the trial offer insights into why this is. "I only see the colours in the part that I am looking at," said one. "I have to attend to the symbols," said another (Proceedings of the Royal Society B, DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2009.1765).
