Can an old brain learn new tricks?
The answer could soon be a resounding “yes.”
Scientists from the University of California at Irvine may have found a way to restore the youthful flexibility of the still-developing brain. In a study on mice recently published in the journal Neuron, the researchers were able to re-activate a younger neural state in an older brain.

Where in the brain, exactly, is intelligence? Is a high I.Q. just a result of a flawed test – or do high-I.Q. brains have specific, measurable differences from others? Answers await, Intrepid Reader – but first we have to make sure we’re asking the right questions.
Let’s start with the big news: a study just published in the Journal of Neuroscience reports that when a certain area of the frontal lobe has unusually wide and active connectivity, a higher I.Q. tends to follow. The trouble is, though, that a high I.Q. only reflects certain types of mental abilities – so what this discovery really means is that a certain functional network in the brain plays a major role in certain kinds of smart thinking.

Like many large companies, MusclePharm has seen its share of both positive and negative press. Over the past two years the nutritional supplements manufacturer has battled lawsuits alleging price discrimination, environmental violations and patent infringement — all while bringing home boatloads of best-product awards and celebrity athlete endorsements. In short, it’s a company whose popularity has so far managed to drown out the cries of naysayers.

A major paradigm shift is taking the science world by storm. Open source is taking over.
For more than a century, scientists have depended on peer-reviewed journals to keep them up to date on the latest research. But as many of these journals have raised their subscription fees to bank-breaking levels, and locked life-saving research behind exorbitant paywalls, the gloves are finally coming off. Thousands of researchers are fighting back by boycotting publishers, submitting their papers to open-access journals like PLOS ONE and PNAS, and – most excitingly of all – making their datasets freely available online, for everyone.
