No evidence for mirror neurons in humans?! | Deric Bownds' MindBlog 2 Citations "We found adaptation for executed motor acts, when these were preceded by execution or observation of the same motor act, as would be expected if a previously executed or observed motor act were to prime the subsequent execution of that act. Importantly, we found no sign of adaptation when motor acts were first executed and then observed. ...our data do not support the direct matching account, according to which neurons exist that selectively respond to actions irrespective of whether these are observed or executed. Our data are compatible with the assumption that responses in mirror neuron areas reflect the facilitation of the motor system because of learned associations between semantic representation of actions and their generating motor programs.", delicious.comGiven all the hype over the mirror neuron system in humans (basis for constructing social cognition, empathy, mind reading, and the development of language, etc. - this blog has mostly joined the chorus) , this recent work by Lingnau would seem to be quite a bombshell. Their introduction explains the logic, context and basic results: There are 2 conditions that must be fulfilled by any study that aims to address the existence of mirror neurons in humans. First, it must be demonstrated that, technorati.com

Artificial brain cells created to treat neurological diseases 1 Citation Our brain has billions of neurons connect to each other, and communicate the information between each other in a fraction of a second. Neurons communicate by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the Synapse, and then chemicals called Neurotransmitters are released from a site called the presynaptic nerve terminal, to the receptor side , technorati.com

The Emotiv Neuro-Headset: Brain Train with Virtual Worlds 1 Citation Sometimes the technologies for commercial and free virtual worlds are like the Saiyans of Dragon Ball Z. There should always be something more powerful ? no one can be outdone. A few days ago we brought up here the technology which allows people with motor disabilities to use eye contact in order to participate in virtual worlds. Enter the mind control neuro-headset peripheral of Emotiv. Yes, you read it right: mind control. It uses brain waves in order to make actions possible in, technorati.com

1 Citation By Michael Logan Strategies to increase brain power are the strategies that make it possible for the brain to do more of what it already does, grow new neurons and facilitate effective new connections between neurons. Strategies to increase brain power are the strategies that make it possible for the brain to do more of what it already does. Whether we want a higher IQ, some kind of acclaim in our career, fame and fortune, better investment insights, we need to make it possible fo, technorati.com

Determination of relative potencies for chemical inhibition of s... 1 Citation Potency determination is important to identify the most promising drug candidates as well as identification of and ranking of compound toxicity. In our laboratory, we have utilized MEA recording techniques to determine the relative potency of 11 insecticidal compounds and rank their relative potency. Primary cultures of rat cortical neurons were grown on glass MEA electrodes for a period of 9-16 days, when steady state spontaneous spiking activity was reached. read more, technorati.com
