| Mechanism found for destruction of key allergy-inducing complexes, researchers say Posted: 28 Oct 2012 11:23 AM PDT Researchers have learned how a synthetic molecule destroys complexes that induce allergic responses -- a discovery that could lead to the development of highly potent, rapidly acting interventions for a host of acute allergic reactions.  |
| Primates' brains make visual maps using triangular grids Posted: 28 Oct 2012 11:23 AM PDT Scientists have identified grid cells, neurons that fire in repeating triangular patterns as the eyes explore visual scenes, in the brains of rhesus monkeys. This is the first time grid cells have been detected directly in primates. The finding has implications for understanding how humans form and remember mental maps of the world, as well as how neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's erode those abilities.  |
| Looking beyond space and time to cope with quantum theory Posted: 28 Oct 2012 11:22 AM PDT Physicists have proposed an experiment that could force us to make a choice between extremes to describe the behaviour of the Universe.  |
