"The complex circuitry of the brain above was captured by a new M.R.I. scanner developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
The machine has a resolution 10 times better than its precursors’ and could help researchers examine the processes underlying illnesses like schizophrenia and autism.

I havent bought holiday greeting cards in a very long time. But if I saw this one, I'd get a box.
'The book that gives us Calvino the romantic and Calvino the craftsman in equal measure is “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler.” It is the book that makes people fall in love with Calvino, because it is a book about falling in love through reading—specifically, “reading Italo Calvino’s new novel, If on a winter’s night a traveler.”' (Illustration by Daniele Castellano)

"In Ireland, seeking work has often meant moving to England. The early songs of the Pogues documented what awaited there in the early 1980s — a time when it was, to put it mildly, challenging to be Irish in London. Irish people had been portrayed variously as buffoons, insurrectionists and animals in the British media since Victorian times, and ethnic hate and discrimination were prevalent well into the 1980s. The conflation of all Irish with the Irish Republican Army led to miscarriages of justice like the Guildford Four, the Birmingham Six and the Maguire Seven, who were wrongly imprisoned for I.R.A. bombings in the 1970s."

"Through tissue-specific manipulation of Nptx2, the authors demonstrated that the pituitary was a major source of NPTX2 in the serum, and the increased NPTX2 secretion by the pituitary affected immune balance by regulating the blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Intriguingly, Nptx2 up-regulation in corticotropes seemed to depend on IL-6 but not other cytokines tested."

'Flies were placed in a flight simulator, which permitted free body rotation about the yaw axis. By feeding back body movements in real time to a visual display, we augmented and inverted visual feedback.'

Good news on #leishmaniasis:
"Among the so-called “neglected tropical diseases,” many experts believe leishmaniasis is in a class of its own in terms of the lack of progress, in the 120 years since it was first identified, to help the two million people who contract it each year.
Now, finally, that is starting to change: When Mr. Tilano’s grandson Andrés Tilano, 14, contracted leishmaniasis last year, he was treated in a clinic in Medellín, with an experimental therapy that cured his infection in days."
