Pulmonary Fibrosis cerebral trauma

Following this series of posts about neurology, I recommend this video Networks program of October 24. In it, Edward Punset together with the psychologist Shlomo Breznitz talk about brain training, the reason for the importance of a healthy physique over a healthy mind, the future of how people see, the reason for the differences in neuronal aging and dyslexia , among other sub-themes.

With this, I invite you to give the play is sure to learn much new and interesting concepts.

Goodbye!

Science comes to all fields and possible investigation. So much so, that a Scientists at the School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University (USA) has managed to find a way to eliminate the bad memories of the brain, reflecting localized proteins in the nervous system.

Although there has not been seen in humans, this study shows positive results in mice. According to neuroscientist Richard L. Hugair, animals were given an electric shock accompanied by a noise. Then after a few minutes, when the mice heard the noise again, stood still, trembling with fear. This reaction leads to increasing the activity of certain nerve cells associated with a protein AMPARs calls.

Hence, the researchers drew the conclusion that eliminating these proteins (which caused the fear of memory), would eliminate the bad experience.

However, these studies are aimed at improving the lives of people suffering post-traumatic stress or other illness that prevents them from leading a normal life after suffering a nasty episode (wars, terrorist attacks, kidnappings ...) .

BACKGROUND

is not the first time that human beings try to create clear memory mechanisms. A year ago, surprised us the zip, which is an inhibitor of an enzyme brain associated with memory (PKM zeta). In experiments on mice, we observed that a dose of ZIP was able to delete specific memories have enabled the animal at the time (without distinction). However, it was concluded that this molecule attacked the declarative memory (spatial memory, accessible information. Remember facts, events, associations and conscious situations) and not the implicit (emotional memory, learning situations that occur fear. Procedural memory, memory skills).

Another important study is to Merel Kindt and colleagues at the Department of Clinical Bio Psychology at the University of Manchester on propranolol, a drug used to treat hypertension, can block the memories. But it's better than pincheís HERE and you see the news that World posted about this.

International Seminar on Science vs. Pseudoscience

With the aim of disseminating scientific thinking in the province, the University La Punta (ULP) is organizing an international seminar on "Science vs. Pseudoscience ', to be held on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 November, in Terrazas del Portezuelo.

The scientific meeting was part of a series of conferences of the Bicentennial of ULP, and under the auspices of the Scientific Society of Argentina. Among the exhibitors will be the renowned epistemologist Mario Bunge, a physicist and philosopher of science, along with other notables of the scientific world.

From the University explained that the idea is to promote a deeper debate, which facilitates the establishment of conditions for "learning to think scientifically," the education system. "The theme of the seminar will focus therefore separate what is meant by pure science, the pseudoscience, non-systematic disciplines, that does not work on a consistent demonstration of his notions, but that issue without empirical support or academic. There pseudoscience both the humanities and in the exact, "said Hernan Tuesday, head of the ULP technological link.

Considering that science is one of the great works of mankind and that the characteristics of scientific thinking are absent from general reasoning, the workshop will have several panels which will be discussed for example, "Science and pseudoscience in the media "," Social Pseudoscience "and" philosophical background of science and pseudoscience, "among other topics.

" The forms of scientific thinking have to be taught, establishing a methodology based on experiments and observation, hypothesis formulation and choice of logical thought or one that lacks evidence ", said since the ULP.

During the event, there were panel discussions with invited experts to discuss and reflect on the central theme. Mario Bunge, who will have an important role in the seminar, is known for controversy, placing in the category of pseudo-psychoanalysis, homeopathy, neoclassical microeconomics, and for his criticism of philosophical as existentialism, phenomenology, postmodernism, hermeneutics and philosophical feminism. "They are like nightmares vanish when examined in the light of science," he says.

Adventures and challenges of teaching science

• How evolved ways of interpreting our reality? Are there some ways "evil" than others? • What is the purpose of educating the public in science? At what age is important to teach science?

• What it means to be scientific thought of students and how?
• What are the different approaches to teaching science that have been used in recent decades? What visions of science and learning underlie those approaches?
• What results have these approaches when applied to schools "flesh and blood? What do students learn?

Here are some of the questions we will try to respond in a free and open meeting to be held on the campus of the University of San Andres, the day

November 23 from 18:00 pm to 20:00 pm. The panel will consist of Marcelino Cereijido, Melina Furman and Maria Eugenia Podesta.
