| It's in the genes: Research pinpoints how plants know when to flower Posted: 26 May 2012 04:12 PM PDT Scientists believe they've pinpointed the last crucial piece of the 80-year-old puzzle of how plants "know" when to flower.  |
| Why humans don't smell as well as other mammals: No new neurons in the human olfactory bulb Posted: 24 May 2012 06:22 AM PDT The human olfactory bulb – a structure in the brain that processes sensory input from the nose – differs from that of other mammals in that no new neurons are formed in this area after birth. The discovery is based on the age-determination of the cells using the carbon-14 method, and might explain why the human sense of smell is normally much worse than that of other animals.  |
