MIT neuroscientists have developed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that allows them to monitor neural activity deep within the brain by tracking calcium ions. This could allow researchers to link specific brain functions to their pattern of neuron activity

There’s a reason that programmers always want to throw away old code and start over: they think the old code is a mess. They are probably wrong. The reason that they think the old code is a mess is because of a cardinal, fundamental law of programming: It’s harder to read code than to write it.

TIL in 1343, while laying siege to a Genoese outpost, a Mongolian army fell ill With plague. During withdrawal, they catapulted the diseased bodies into the city. The inhabitants then also fell ill, and the merchants in the city went on to spread the plague to Constantinople and ultimately Europe.

Coffee can help people have a more favorable view of their colleagues - Drinking coffee before a discussion can help people stay focused and feel better about the people in the conversation, suggests a new study with 134 college student in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

A new study may have revealed the reason that our memory has limitations. The researchers found that trying to retain too much information in our working memory leads to a communication breakdown between parts of the brain responsible for maintaining it.

TIL that the 'Five stages of grief' model has no factual or scientific basis and its creator Elizabeth Kubler-Ross said that the stages are not a linear and predictable progression and that she regretted writing them in a way that was misunderstood

TIL Picasso once famously said: 'It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.' Researchers hypothesized that this is because early childhood is a period characterized by 'exuberant neural connectivity' that facilitates 'arbitrary sensory experiences in infants.

Scientists nix Alzheimer’s-causing brain plaques in mice. Could humans be next? In experiments with mice, researchers demonstrated that it is possible to remove the plaques which begin forming in the brains of future Alzheimer’s patients, sometimes years before the disease manifests.
