Krista: A new study has recently shown that single brain cells are each able to remember a single memory. Neurons (in the front part of the brain) are able to hold a single memory for up to a minute, maybe longer. The first tests were taken on mice. The scientists were able to see that these "fleeting memories" were held in the most highly evolved part of the brain. Mice brains are very similar to human brains so scientists believe this is a discovery that will further the knowledge about human brains and how the memory part works. This could be a very important discovery for the scientific world today.
nada said My article is about the steps to get a good sleep. 1. We sleep better than we think we do The non-profit National Sleep Foundation says the average U.S. resident gets 7 hours a night and that's not enough, but a University of Maryland study earlier this year shows we typically get 8 hours and are doing fine. In fact, Americans get just as much sleep nowadays as they did 40 years ago, the study found.
2. We need less sleep as we age If don’t get sleep we die. The details are sketchy, but research suggests it's a time when we restore vital biological processes and also sort and cement memories. Last year, the World Health Organization determined that nightshift work, which can lead to sleep troubles, is a probable human carcinogen. On the upside, the latest research suggests we need less of it as we get older.
3. You can sleep like a baby
Multiple, shorter sleep sessions nightly, rather than one long one, are an option. So-called polyphasic sleep is seen in babies, the elderly and other animals.For the rest of us, it is more realistic and healthy to sleep at night as best we can and then take naps as needed. 4. Animals exhibit a range of sleep habits 4 Get used to being tired.
The bottom line is that a good night's sleep is within the reach of most of us if we follow common-sense guidelines for sleep hygiene: • Go to bed at the same time nightly. Refrain from caffeine, heavy or spicy foods, and alcohol and other optional medications that might keep you awake, four to six hours before bed-time. • Have a pre-sleep routine so you wind down before you hop in. • Block out distracting lights and noises. • Only engage in sleep and sex in bed (no TV-watching, reading or eating). • Exercise regularly but not right before bed This article is accurate because I’ve seeb many people who doesn’t get enough sleep theu end up tired just because they don’t follow one of those steps given here. It’s very important to people to know that sleeping is very healthy for your body and you need to get enough energy if don’t sleep you won’t. Specially teenagers who rather what we their friends and they end up sleeping in science class or any class.
wiam: According to a large study of third-graders lead by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University shows that recess have a big role in children s behavior and studies. Recess or a daily break help students behave better and are more likely to learn more. It is important for children to have recess so they can have a balance between school and fun especially middle schoolers . I agree that students need more free time and time to play and have fun so they can concentrate more in their studies and it is healthy for them.
Genetic Engineers have found a new way to reduce the number of devastating pests. These pests cost the agricultural industry billions of dollars every year. Many techniques have been tried without being efficient; amongst them is a way to sterilize males through exposion to gamma rays. It was in fact effective but not efficient because the irradiated insects were not as likely to reproduce as the other unaltered ones. A new experiment proved that it was possible to create genitically modiefied flies that are still healthy by giving them an antibiotic. I think that this experiment can be really useful in enhancing the quantity and quality of food products.This will be a gigantic step for the field of genetic engineering. No genetically altered insect has been used before, but now it shows that people should start gettin ready for such matters. Progress is moving at a tremendous speed, and it will not be stopped easily.
My Essay will be on a new forest found in Mozambique. This forest has found many new species and plants that have been undiscovered thus far. This was a great feat to the scientific community and to the world.
Last year a team of 28 experts from around the world went into the forest and discovered a new species of snake and butterfly. Also they came across 7 endangered birds that are almost extinct. After discovering this they worked with the government to make sure that this area stays clear of economic disaster.
I think that this is a very amiable venture and a great discovery by the biological community of science. They used Google Earth to find it, which was a great advancement of things. I believe Google earth will be a great thing for scientists for ages to come.
This is an awesome article, it's about a killer whale who has a "snowball" fight with a scientist. It was an adult-female killer whale. The scientist threw a snowball at her to let her know that humans were around and she responded by arching her head and with her snout she threw a volleyball sized chunk of ice at the scientist. she did this for a few minutes until she got tired of it and then went on her way. His one question was did he just teach a killer whale the basics of snowball fighting?
The article I want to talk about today is the recent breakthroughs in malaria. Bill Gates the main funder in the research to rid this horrid disease from the earth made a demonstration recently that shocked the people there. He opened a jar full of mosquito’s that swarmed around the auditorium. This was a demonstration to show how important it was that we act on getting rid of malaria right away, and because of Bills funding a new breakthrough has been made that will possibly provide a cure.
A team of scientists led by Professor James Whisstock has come up with a way to starve the parasite of malaria in its final stage of development. In the past people have made drugs that sometimes work against the parasite, but most cases of malaria can adapt to the treatments making them null and void. This new way of treating these deadly parasites is by staving them and making sure that they have no more food to eat, they take away a protein that is essential to the diseases growth.
I think this is a monumental discovery. 2.5 billion people are at risk and over 500 million people that are at risk get the sickness yearly, that’s 1 out of 5. That’s more that the teen pregnancy rate at this large high school in Missouri. This will completely change the amount of people that have malaria if its mass produced.
This article describes how telling awful and/or cheesy jokes can get you more than you bargained for. A researcher at Washington State University told a number of people the joke "What did the big chimney say to the little chimney? (the anwswer is "nothing, chimneys can't talk") and received answers ranging from sarcasm to obscenities hurled in her face. Her study showed that jokes are generally an interruption to a conversation, and if the the joke is good, then the interruption is overlooked. If the joke is bad, then it will likely elicit strong, negative reactions. I think this is important to note, because seriously, who wants a bad joke to interrupt your conversation?
