Brain Awareness Week teaches kids how their brains work
...nsory exhibit and see the amazing "Drunken Brain," pulsating with electricity and basking in a world of colored lights and eerie sounds. An NIAAA neuroscientist will explain why alcohol interferes with sensory perception, movement, balance, and memory, and demonstrate which brain circuits are involved in alcoh...Inflammatory condition doubles heart attack, stroke risk
...of Toronto research. "The artery that you can feel pulsating on one side of your temple the temporal artery is the classic area where giant cell arteritis (GCA) occurs," says Dr. Joel Ray, a professor of medicine at U of T and a clinician-scientist at St. Michael's Hospital. "Definitive signs of inflammation...A new approach to growing heart muscle
... BEHM, with organized cells, capable of generating pulsating forces and reacting to stimulation more like real muscle than ever before. The three-dimensional tissue was grown using an innovative technique that is faster than others that have been tried in recent years, but still yields tissue with significan...ACS News Service Weekly PressPac -- Jan. 17, 2007
... human lungs. The inhale-exhale cycle results in a pulsating pattern of air flow over the activated carbon filter material. The carbon material adsorbs toxic gases, preventing inhalation by military, safety, security and other personnel equipped with RPDs. Their report, scheduled for the June 6 issue of the ...'Good vibrations' from deep-sea smokers may keep fish out of hot water
...he researchers say. For example, the flow could be pulsating or its volume could be changing as its waters cool. Dissimilar fluids in the flow could generate noise where they mix. Or the fluids rushing through the nooks and crannies of the smoker vent itself could be creating noise. The sounds also appear to c...Engineering the heart piece by piece
...sts showed that the BEHM was capable of generating pulsating forces and reacting to stimulation more like real muscle than ever before. Previously, the group described the results of a self organization strategy, showing that it was possible to engineer heart muscle that closely resembles normal heart muscl...American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac -- July 18, 2007
...tion of generating electricity from flowing blood, pulsating blood vessels, or a beating heart may seem like science fiction. But scientists are reporting a stride in that direction in the August 8 issue of ACS Nano Letters , a monthly journal, with development a more powerful nanogenerator for powering impla...
