Do We Think That Machines Can Think?
9 Jul 2008 at 2:00pm
When our PC goes on strike again we tend to curse it as if it was a human. The question is why and under what circumstances do we attribute human-like properties to machines and how are such processes manifest on a cortical level.
Young Women's Breast Cancers Have More Aggressive Genes, Worse Prognosis
9 Jul 2008 at 2:00pm
Young women's breast cancers tend to be more aggressive and less responsive to treatment than the cancers that arise in older women, and researchers may have discovered part of the reason why: young women's breast cancers share unique genomic traits that the cancers in older women do not exhibit.
Novel Ways To Boost Vaccination Or Natural Defenses
9 Jul 2008 at 2:00pm
Our bodies rely on the production of potent, or 'high affinity,' antibodies to fight infection. The process is very complex, yet scientists have discovered that it hinges on a single molecule, a growth factor, without which it cannot function.
Types Of Genes Necessary For Brain Development Discovered

Researchers have successfully completed a full-genome RNAi screen in neurons, showing what types of genes are necessary for brain development.
Some Plants Can Adapt To Widespread Climate Change
9 Jul 2008 at 2:00pm
While many plant species move to a new location or go extinct as a result of climate change, grasslands clinging to a steep, rocky dale-side in Northern England seem to defy the odds and adapt to long-term changes in temperature and rainfall, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The 13-year experiment involved subjecting 30 small grassland plots to microclimate manipulation.
