Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, or subscribe to our mailing list, to receive news updates. Learn more.
by Douglas Heaven Hijacking how neurons of nematode worms are wired is the first step in an approach that could revolutionise our understanding of brains and consciousness CALL it the first brain hack. The humble nematode worm has had its neural connections hot-wired, changing the way it responds to salt and smells. As well as offering a way to create souped-up organisms, changing neural connectivity could one day allow us to treat brain damage in people by rerouting signals around damaged neurons. What's more, it offers a different approach to probing brain mysteries such as how consciousness arises from wiring patterns – much like exploring the function of an electronic circuit by plugging and unplugging cables. In our attempts to understand the brain, a lot of attention is given to neurons. A technique known as optogenetics, for example, lets researchers study the function of individual neurons by genetically altering them so they can be turned on and off by a light switch. But looking at the brain's connections is as important as watching the activity of neurons. Higher cognitive functions, such as an awareness of our place in the world, do not spring from a specific area, says Fani Deligianni at University College London. Deligianni and her colleagues are developing imaging techniques to map the brain's connections, as are other groups around the world (see "Start with a worm..."). "From this we can begin to answer some of the big questions about the workings of the brain and consciousness which seem to depend on connectivity," she says. Tracing how the brain is wired is a great first step but to find out how this linking pattern produces a particular behaviour we need to be able to see how changing these links affects brain function. This is what a team led by William Schafer at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, is attempting. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Neuroskeptic An entertaining paper just out in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience offers a panoramic view of the whole of neuroscience: Enlarging the scope: grasping brain complexity The paper is remarkable not just for its content but also for its style. Some examples: How does the brain work? This nagging question is an habitué from the top ten lists of enduring problems in Science's grand challenges. Grasp this paradox: how is one human brain – a chef d'oeuvre of complexity honed by Nature – ever to reach such a feast as to understand itself? Where one brain may fail at this notorious philosophical riddle, may be a strong and diversely-skilled army of brains may come closer. Or It remains an uneasy feeling that so much of Brain Science is built upon the foundation of a pair of neurons, outside the context of their networks, and with two open-ended areas of darkness at either of their extremities that must be thought of as the entire remainder of the organism's brain (and body). And my favorite: As humans tend to agree, increased size makes up for smarter brains (disclosure: both authors are human) I love it. I'm not sure I understand it, though. The authors, Tognoli and Kelso, begin by framing a fundamental tension between directed information transfer and neural synchrony, pointing out that neurons firing perfectly in synch with each other could not transfer information between themselves.

|By Roni Jacobson Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Zoloft, Lexapro. These so-called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the U.S. Although they are typically used to treat depression and anxiety disorders, they are also prescribed off-label for conditions such as chronic pain, premature ejaculation, bulimia, irritable bowel syndrome, premenstrual syndrome and hot flashes. Even if you have never taken an SSRI, chances are you know someone who has. About one in every 10 American adults is being prescribed one now. For women aged 40 to 59 years old, the proportion increases to one in four. SSRIs block the body from reabsorbing serotonin, a neurotransmitter mostly found in the brain, spinal cord and digestive tract whose roles include regulation of mood, appetite, sexual function and sleep. Specifically, SSRIs bind to the protein that carries serotonin between nerve cells—called SERT, for serotonin transporter—intercepting it before it can escort the released neurotransmitter back into the cell. This action leaves more active serotonin in the body, a chemical effect that is supposed to spur feelings of happiness and well-being. But there are hints that SSRIs are doing something other than simply boosting serotonin levels. First, people vary in their response to SSRIs: Studies have shown that the drugs are not very effective for mild to moderate depression, but work well when the disorder is severe. If low serotonin were the only culprit in depression, SSRIs would be more uniformly helpful in alleviating symptoms. Second, it takes weeks after starting an SSRI for depression and anxiety to lift even though changes in serotonin ought to happen pretty much right away. © 2014 Scientific American

Sara Reardon For chimps, nature and nurture appear to contribute equally to intelligence. Smart chimpanzees often have smart offspring, researchers suggest in one of the first analyses of the genetic contribution to intelligence in apes. The findings, published online today in Current Biology1, could shed light on how human intelligence evolved, and might even lead to discoveries of genes associated with mental capacity. A team led by William Hopkins, a psychologist at Georgia State University in Atlanta, tested the intelligence of 99 chimpanzees aged 9 to 54 years old, most of them descended from the same group of animals housed at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta. The chimps faced cognitive challenges such as remembering where food was hidden in a rotating object, following a human's gaze and using tools to solve problems. A subsequent statistical analysis revealed a correlation between the animals' performance on these tests and their relatedness to other chimpanzees participating in the study. About half of the difference in performance between individual apes was genetic, the researchers found. In humans, about 30% of intelligence in children can be explained by genetics; for adults, who are less vulnerable to environmental influences, that figure rises to 70%. Those numbers are comparable to the new estimate of the heritability of intelligence across a wide age range of chimps, says Danielle Posthuma, a behavioural geneticist at VU University in Amsterdam, who was not involved in the research. "This study is much overdue," says Rasmus Nielsen, a computational biologist at the University of California, Berkeley. "There has been enormous focus on understanding heritability of intelligence in humans, but very little on our closest relatives." © 2014 Nature Publishing Group

By Dominic Basulto It turns out that the human brain may not be as mysterious as it has always seemed to be. Researchers at George Washington University, led by Mohamad Koubeissi, may have found a way to turn human consciousness on and off by targeting a specific region of the brain with electrical currents. For brain researchers, unlocking the mystery of human consciousness has always been viewed as one of the keys for eventually building an artificial brain, and so this could be a big win for the future of brain research. What the researchers did was deliver a serious of high frequency electrical impulses to the claustrum region of the brain in a woman suffering from epilepsy. Before the electric shocks, the woman was capable of writing and talking. During the electric shocks, the woman faded out of consciousness, and started staring blankly into space, incapable of even the most basic sensory functions. Even her breathing slowed. As soon as the electrical shocks stopped, the woman immediately regained her sensory skills with no memory of the event. The researchers claim that this test case is evidence of being able to turn consciousness on and off. Granted, there's a lot still to be done. That George Washington test, for example, has only been successfully performed on one person. And that woman had already had part of her hippocampus removed, so at least one researcher says the whole experiment must be interpreted carefully. There have been plenty of scientific experiments that have been "one and done," so it remains to be seen whether these results can be replicated again.

By ALEX HALBERSTADT Dr. Vint Virga likes to arrive at a zoo several hours before it opens, when the sun is still in the trees and the lanes are quiet and the trash cans empty. Many of the animals haven't yet slipped into their afternoon malaise, when they retreat, appearing to wait out the heat and the visitors and not do much of anything. Virga likes to creep to the edge of their enclosures and watch. He chooses a spot and tries not to vary it, he says, "to give the animals a sense of control." Sometimes he watches an animal for hours, hardly moving. That's because what to an average zoo visitor looks like frolicking or restlessness or even boredom looks to Virga like a lot more — looks, in fact, like a veritable Russian novel of truculence, joy, sociability, horniness, ire, protectiveness, deference, melancholy and even humor. The ability to interpret animal behavior, Virga says, is a function of temperament, curiosity and, mostly, decades of practice. It is not, it turns out, especially easy. Do you know what it means when an elephant lowers her head and folds her trunk underneath it? Or when a zebra wuffles, softly blowing air between her lips; or when a colobus monkey snuffles, sounding a little like a hog rooting in the mud; or when a red fox screams, sounding disconcertingly like an infant; or when red fox kits chatter at one another; or when an African wild dog licks and nibbles at the lips of another; or when a California sea lion resting on the water's surface stretches a fore flipper and one or both rear flippers in the air, like a synchronized swimmer; or when a hippopotamus "dung showers" by defecating while rapidly flapping its tail? Virga knows, because it is his job to know. He is a behaviorist, and what he does, expressed plainly, is see into the inner lives of animals. The profession is an odd one: It is largely unregulated, and declaring that you are an expert is sometimes enough to be taken for one. Most behaviorists are former animal trainers; some come from other fields entirely. Virga happens to be a veterinarian, very likely the only one in the country whose full-time job is tending to the psychological welfare of animals in captivity. © 2014 The New York Times Company

|By Ferris Jabr You know the exit is somewhere along this stretch of highway, but you have never taken it before and do not want to miss it. As you carefully scan the side of the road for the exit sign, numerous distractions intrude on your visual field: billboards, a snazzy convertible, a cell phone buzzing on the dashboard. How does your brain focus on the task at hand? To answer this question, neuroscientists generally study the way the brain strengthens its response to what you are looking for—jolting itself with an especially large electrical pulse when you see it. Another mental trick may be just as important, according to a study published in April in the Journal of Neuroscience: the brain deliberately weakens its reaction to everything else so that the target seems more important in comparison. Cognitive neuroscientists John Gaspar and John McDonald, both at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, arrived at the conclusion after asking 48 college students to take attention tests on a computer. The volunteers had to quickly spot a lone yellow circle among an array of green circles without being distracted by an even more eye-catching red circle. All the while the researchers monitored electrical activity in the students' brains using a net of electrodes attached to their scalps. The recorded patterns revealed that their brains consistently suppressed reactions to all circles except the one they were looking for—the first direct evidence of this particular neural process in action. © 2014 Scientific American

by Helen Thomson ONE moment you're conscious, the next you're not. For the first time, researchers have switched off consciousness by electrically stimulating a single brain area. Scientists have been probing individual regions of the brain for over a century, exploring their function by zapping them with electricity and temporarily putting them out of action. Despite this, they have never been able to turn off consciousness – until now. Although only tested in one person, the discovery suggests that a single area – the claustrum – might be integral to combining disparate brain activity into a seamless package of thoughts, sensations and emotions. It takes us a step closer to answering a problem that has confounded scientists and philosophers for millennia – namely how our conscious awareness arises. Many theories abound but most agree that consciousness has to involve the integration of activity from several brain networks, allowing us to perceive our surroundings as one single unifying experience rather than isolated sensory perceptions. One proponent of this idea was Francis Crick, a pioneering neuroscientist who earlier in his career had identified the structure of DNA. Just days before he died in July 2004, Crick was working on a paper that suggested our consciousness needs something akin to an orchestra conductor to bind all of our different external and internal perceptions together. With his colleague Christof Koch, at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, he hypothesised that this conductor would need to rapidly integrate information across distinct regions of the brain and bind together information arriving at different times. For example, information about the smell and colour of a rose, its name, and a memory of its relevance, can be bound into one conscious experience of being handed a rose on Valentine's day. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

Claire McCarthy I have many patients with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and it seems like I have the same conversation over and over again with their parents: to medicate or not to medicate. I completely understand the hesitation I hear from so many parents. I have to admit, I'm not entirely happy myself about prescribing a medication that has side effects and can be abused or misused, and one for which there is a black market. I also worry that too often when a child is on medication and so learning and behaving better, parents and teachers lose the incentive to help the child learn the organizational and other skills that could make all the difference later in life. Since ADHD often persists into adulthood, we have to have the long view with these kids. But....the long view works the other way, too. Not treating ADHD with medication can lead to problems. Like drug abuse. ADHD is really common. It affects 8 percent of children and youth--that's about 2 in every classroom of 20. Kids with ADHD can have real problems with both learning and behavior, problems that can haunt them for a lifetime (if you end up dropping out of high school because of poor grades or behavior, or end up getting arrested, it has a way of interfering with your future income and quality of life). But another thing we know is that kids with ADHD have a higher risk of drug abuse. We don't know exactly why this is the case. Some of it is likely the impulsivity that is so common in people with ADHD; they don't always make the best decisions. It may also be that people with ADHD are more prone to addiction. Whatever it is, the risk is very real. Not only are kids with ADHD 2.5 times more likely to abuse drugs, they are more likely to start earlier, use more types of drugs, and continue into adulthood. ©2014 Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC

By HELENE STAPINSKI A few months ago, my 10-year-old daughter, Paulina, was suffering from a bad headache right before bedtime. She went to lie down and I sat beside her, stroking her head. After a few minutes, she looked up at me and said, "Everything in the room looks really small." And I suddenly remembered: When I was young, I too would "see things far away," as I once described it to my mother — as if everything in the room were at the wrong end of a telescope. The episodes could last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, but they eventually faded as I grew older. I asked Paulina if this was the first time she had experienced such a thing. She shook her head and said it happened every now and then. When I was a little girl, I told her, it would happen to me when I had a fever or was nervous. I told her not to worry and that it would go away on its own. Soon she fell asleep, and I ran straight to my computer. Within minutes, I discovered that there was an actual name for what turns out to be a very rare affliction — Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Episodes usually include micropsia (objects appear small) or macropsia (objects appear large). Some sufferers perceive their own body parts to be larger or smaller. For me, and Paulina, furniture a few feet away seemed small enough to fit inside a dollhouse. Dr. John Todd, a British psychiatrist, gave the disorder its name in a 1955 paper, noting that the misperceptions resemble Lewis Carroll's descriptions of what happened to Alice. It's also known as Todd's Syndrome. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is not an optical problem or a hallucination. Instead, it is most likely caused by a change in a portion of the brain, likely the parietal lobe, that processes perceptions of the environment. Some specialists consider it a type of aura, a sensory warning preceding a migraine. And the doctors confirmed that it usually goes away by adulthood. © 2014 The New York Times Company

Nicola Davis The old adage that we eat with our eyes appears to be correct, according to research that suggests diners rate an artistically arranged meal as more tasty – and are prepared to pay more for it. The team at Oxford University tested the idea by gauging the reactions of diners to food presented in different ways. Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's "Painting Number 201" Franco-Columbian chef and one of the authors of the study, Charles Michel, designed a salad resembling the abstract artwork to explore how the presentation of food affects the dining experience. "A number of chefs now are realising that they are being judged by how their foods photograph – be it in the fancy cookbooks [or], more often than not, when diners instagram their friends," explains Professor Charles Spence, experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford and a co-author of the study. Thirty men and 30 women were each presented with one of three salads containing identical ingredients, arranged either to resemble the Kandinsky painting, a regular tossed salad, or a "neat" formation where each component was spaced away from the others. Seated alone at a table mimicking a restaurant setting, and unaware that other versions of the salad were on offer, each participant was given two questionnaires asking them to rate various aspects of the dish on a 10-point scale, before and after tucking into the salad. Before participants sampled their plateful, the Kandinsky-inspired dish was rated higher for complexity, artistic presentation and general liking. Participants were prepared to pay twice as much for the meal as for either the regular or "neat arrangements". © 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited

By Gary Stix James DiCarlo: We all have this intuitive feel for what object recognition is. It's the ability to discriminate your face from other faces, a car from other cars, a dog from a camel, that ability we all intuitively feel. But making progress in understanding how our brains are able to accomplish that is a very challenging problem and part of the reason is that it's challenging to define what it isn't and is. We take this problem for granted because it seems effortless to us. However, a computer vision person would tell you is that this is an extremely challenging problem because each object presents an essentially infinite number of images to your retina so you essentially never see the same image of each object twice. SA: It seems like object recognition is actually one of the big problems both in neuroscience and in the computational science of machine learning? DiCarlo: That's right., not only machine learning but also in psychology or cognitive science because the objects that we see are the sources in the world of what we use to build higher cognition, things like memory and decision-making. Should I reach for this, should I avoid it? Our brains can't do what you would call higher cognition without these foundational elements that we often take for granted. SA: Maybe you can talk about what's actually happening in the brain during this process. DiCarlo: It's been known for several decades that there's a portion of the brain, the temporal lobe down the sides of our head, that, when lost or damaged in humans and non-human primates, leads to deficits of recognition. So we had clues that that's where these algorithms for object recognition are living. But just saying that part of your brain solves the problem is not really specific. It's still a very large piece of tissue. Anatomy tells us that there's a whole network of areas that exist there, and now the tools of neurophysiology and still more advanced tools allow us to go in and look more closely at the neural activity, especially in non-human primates. We can then begin to decipher the actual computations to the level that an engineer might, for instance, in order to emulate what's going on in our heads. © 2014 Scientific American

By MARIA KONNIKOVA THE absurdity of having had to ask for an extension to write this article isn't lost on me: It is, after all, a piece on time and poverty, or, rather, time poverty — about what happens when we find ourselves working against the clock to finish something. In the case of someone who isn't otherwise poor, poverty of time is an unpleasant inconvenience. But for someone whose lack of time is just one of many pressing concerns, the effects compound quickly. We make a mistake when we look at poverty as simply a question of financial constraint. Take what happened with my request for an extension. It was granted, and the immediate time pressure was relieved. But even though I met the new deadline (barely), I'm still struggling to dig myself out from the rest of the work that accumulated in the meantime. New deadlines that are about to whoosh by, a growing list of ignored errands, a rent check and insurance payment that I just realized I haven't mailed. And no sign of that promised light at the end of the tunnel. My experience is the time equivalent of a high-interest loan cycle, except instead of money, I borrow time. But this kind of borrowing comes with an interest rate of its own: By focusing on one immediate deadline, I neglect not only future deadlines but the mundane tasks of daily life that would normally take up next to no time or mental energy. It's the same type of problem poor people encounter every day, multiple times: The demands of the moment override the demands of the future, making that future harder to reach. When we think of poverty, we tend to think about money in isolation: How much does she earn? Is that above or below the poverty line? But the financial part of the equation may not be the single most important factor. "The biggest mistake we make about scarcity," Sendhil Mullainathan, an economist at Harvard who is a co-author of the book "Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much," tells me, "is we view it as a physical phenomenon. It's not." © 2014 The New York Times Company

By Brian Palmer Maureen Dowd, a 62-year-old Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist for the New York Times, had a bad marijuana trip earlier this year. As part of her research into the legalization of recreational cannabis in Colorado, she ate a few too many bites of a pot-infused candy bar, entered a "hallucinatory state," and spent eight paranoid hours curled up on her hotel room bed. Dowd used the experience as a jumping-off point to discuss the risks of overdosing on edible marijuana, which has become a major issue in pot-friendly states. It's also possible, however, that Dowd just doesn't handle cannabis very well. While pot mellows most people out, everyone has heard of someone who barricaded himself or herself in a dorm room after a few bongs hits in college. (Or maybe that someone is you.) Why do people react so differently to the same drug? The question itself may be something of a fallacy. Cannabis is not a single drug—it contains dozens of compounds, and they appear to have varying, and sometimes opposing, effects on the brain. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and cannabidiol, or CBD, have been the subject of some intriguing research. In 2010, researchers showed that pretreating people with a dose of CBD can protect against the less pleasant effects of THC, such as paranoia. In a similar 2012 study, participants took pills that contained only one of the two chemicals, rather than the combination that you receive in cannabis. The subjects who took THC pills were more likely to suffer paranoia and delusion than those who took CBD. The researchers went one step further to investigate which specific cognitive effects of THC are likely to lead to paranoia and other symptoms of psychosis. After taking either THC or CBD, participants watched a series of arrows appear on a screen and responded by indicating which direction the arrows were pointing. Most of the arrows pointed directly left or right, but occasionally a tilted arrow appeared. (Researchers called the tilted arrows "oddballs.") Subjects who took the CBD had a heightened brain activity response to the oddballs. That's the way a nondrugged person typically reacts—repetitions of the same stimulus don't interest us, but a sudden change grabs our attention. The THC-takers had an abnormal response: They found the left and right arrows, which constituted the overwhelming majority of the images, more noteworthy than the oddballs. © 2014 The Slate Group LLC

—By Indre Viskontas and Chris Mooney We've all been mesmerized by them—those beautiful brain scan images that make us feel like we're on the cutting edge of scientifically decoding how we think. But as soon as one neuroscience study purports to show which brain region lights up when we are enjoying Coca-Cola, or looking at cute puppies, or thinking we have souls, some other expert claims that "it's just a correlation," and you wonder whether researchers will ever get it right. Sam Kean But there's another approach to understanding how our minds work. In his new book, The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons, Sam Kean tells the story of a handful of patients whose unique brains—rendered that way by surgical procedures, rare diseases, and unfortunate, freak accidents—taught us much more than any set of colorful scans. Kean recounts some of their unforgettable stories on the latest episode of the Inquiring Minds podcast. "As I was reading these [case studies] I said, 'That's baloney! There's no way that can possibly be true,'" Kean remembers, referring to one particularly surprising case in which a woman's brain injury left her unable to recognize and distinguish between different kinds of animals. "But then I looked into it, and I realized that, not only is it true, it actually reveals some important things about how the brain works." Here are five patients, from Kean's book, whose stories transformed neuroscience: 1. The man who could not imagine the future: Kent Cochrane (KC), pictured below, was a '70s wild child, playing in a rock band, getting into bar fights, and zooming around Toronto on his motorcycle. But in 1981, a motorcycle accident left him without two critical brain structures. Both of his hippocampi, the parts of the brain that allow us to form new long-term memories for facts and events in our lives, were lost. That's quite different from other amnesiacs, whose damage is either restricted to only one brain hemisphere, or includes large portions of regions outside of the hippocampus.

Claudia M. Gold Tom Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH,) in his recent blog post "Are Children Overmedicated?" seems to suggest that perhaps more psychiatric medication is in order. Comparing mental illness in children to food allergies, he dismisses the "usual" explanations given for the increase medication prescribing patterns. In his view, these explanations are: Blaming psychiatrists who are too busy to provide therapy, parents who are too busy to provide a stable home environment, drug companies for marketing their products, and schools for lack of recess. By concluding that perhaps the explanation for the increase in prescribing of psychiatric medication to children is a greater number of children with serious psychiatric illness, Insel shows a lack of recognition of the complexity of the situation. When a recent New York Times article, that Insel makes reference to, reported on the rise in prescribing of psychiatric medication for toddlers diagnosed with ADHD, with a disproportionate number coming from families of poverty, one clinician remarked that if this is an attempt to medicate social and economic issues, then we have a huge problem. He was on to something. In conversations with pediatricians (the main prescribers of these medications) and child psychiatrists on the front lines, I find many in a reactive stance. When people feel overwhelmed, they go into survival mode, with their immediate aim just to get through the day. They find themselves prescribing medication because they have no other options.

Jane J. Lee Could've, should've, would've. Everyone has made the wrong choice at some point in life and suffered regret because of it. Now a new study shows we're not alone in our reaction to incorrect decisions. Rats too can feel regret. Regret is thinking about what you should have done, says David Redish, a neuroscientist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. It differs from disappointment, which you feel when you don't get what you expected. And it affects how you make decisions in the future. (See "Hand Washing Wipes Away Regrets?") If you really want to study emotions or feelings like regret, says Redish, you can't just ask people how they feel. So when psychologists and economists study regret, they look for behavioral and neural manifestations of it. Using rats is one way to get down into the feeling's neural mechanics. Redish and colleague Adam Steiner, also at the University of Minneapolis, found that rats expressed regret through both their behavior and their neural activity. Those signals, researchers report today in the journal Nature Neuroscience, were specific to situations the researchers set up to induce regret, which led to specific neural patterns in the brain and in behavior. When Redish and Steiner looked for neural activity, they focused on two areas known in people—and in some animals—to be involved in decision-making and the evaluation of expected outcomes: the orbitofrontal cortex and the ventral striatum. Brain scans have revealed that people with a damaged orbitofrontal cortex, for instance, don't express regret. To record nerve-cell activity, the researchers implanted electrodes in the brains of four rats—a typical sample size in this kind of experiment—then trained them to run a "choice" maze. © 1996-2014 National Geographic Society

By JOHN COATES SIX years after the financial meltdown there is once again talk about market bubbles. Are stocks succumbing to exuberance? Is real estate? We thought we had exorcised these demons. It is therefore with something close to despair that we ask: What is it about risk taking that so eludes our understanding, and our control? Part of the problem is that we tend to view financial risk taking as a purely intellectual activity. But this view is incomplete. Risk is more than an intellectual puzzle — it is a profoundly physical experience, and it involves your body. Risk by its very nature threatens to hurt you, so when confronted by it your body and brain, under the influence of the stress response, unite as a single functioning unit. This occurs in athletes and soldiers, and it occurs as well in traders and people investing from home. The state of your body predicts your appetite for financial risk just as it predicts an athlete's performance. If we understand how a person's body influences risk taking, we can learn how to better manage risk takers. We can also recognize that mistakes governments have made have contributed to excessive risk taking. Consider the most important risk manager of them all — the Federal Reserve. Over the past 20 years, the Fed has pioneered a new technique of influencing Wall Street. Where before the Fed shrouded its activities in secrecy, it now informs the street in as clear terms as possible of what it intends to do with short-term interest rates, and when. Janet L. Yellen, the chairwoman of the Fed, declared this new transparency, called forward guidance, a revolution; Ben S. Bernanke, her predecessor, claimed it reduced uncertainty and calmed the markets. But does it really calm the markets? Or has eliminating uncertainty in policy spread complacency among the financial community and actually helped inflate market bubbles? We get a fascinating answer to these questions if we turn from economics and look into the biology of risk taking. © 2014 The New York Times Company

By Meeri Kim, Many of us find ourselves swimming along in the tranquil sea of life when suddenly a crisis hits — a death in the family, the loss of a job, a bad breakup. Some power through and find calm waters again, while others drown in depression. Scientists continue to search for the underlying genes and neurobiology that dictate our reactions to stress. Now, a study using mice has found a switch-like mechanism between resilience and defeat in an area of the brain that plays an important role in regulating emotions and has been linked with mood and anxiety disorders. (Bo Li/Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) - Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory identify the neurons in the brain that determine if a mouse will learn to cope with stress or become depressed. These neurons, located in a region of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex (top, green image) become hyperactive in depressed mice. The bottom panel is close-up of above image - yellow indicates activation. The team showed that this enhanced activity causes depression. After artificially enhancing the activity of neurons in that part of the brain — the medial prefrontal cortex — mice that previously fought to avoid electric shocks started to act helpless. Rather than leaping for an open escape route, they sat in a corner taking the pain — presumably out of a belief that nothing they could do would change their circumstances. "This helpless behavior is quite similar to what clinicians see in depressed individuals — an inability to take action to avoid or correct a difficult situation," said study author and neuroscientist Bo Li of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. The results were published online May 27 in the Journal of Neuroscience. © 1996-2014 The Washington Post

Jose Cuervo, McCann NY Want You to 'Get Stung'
Jose Cuervo is introducing its new Cuervo Cinge — "Cuervo with a cinnamon sting" – with a new animated spot by McCann NY and Elastic.
Directed by Andy Hall, "Get Stung" is pure eye-candy. The spot is well-animated, with a very appropriate red-tinted effect throughout (because cinnamon, get it?). There's not a whole lot to the 30-second spot: scorpion walks into a bar, drinks tequila, sets bar on fire. But then there doesn't have to be. Why the bartender serves tequila to a scorpion is never really explained, but suspension of disbelief, right?
As an introduction to a new product, the spot works well. If you like the idea of cinnamon-flavored tequila, this ad will make you excited to try it. If not, you can still appreciate the artistry that went into animating it. I'm rarely going to have something negative to say about a simple, well animated spot about liquor. I wasn't crazy about the "Get Stung" tagline at first, but they make it work with the whole "sting of cinnamon" description and it serves its function as a way to help people remember the product.
It's a departure from McCann's "Have a Story" opus starring Kiefer Sutherland, and a welcome one. Perhaps the "be more interesting, be different…" approach typified by certain Dos Equis ads is finally on its way out. Hopefully this simple, elegantly animated approach from McCann spreads beyond their other work for Cuervo and starts a new trend in boozey advertising. Credits after the jump. Read more

Dandridge is a revelation. Even mouthing Marilyn Horne's vocals (not that Dandridge wasn't an accomplished singer; following a brief retirement in the late 1940s, her career was rekindled by a smash engagement at the posh Mocambo nightclub), she is chilling and exactly right, projecting
psychological transitions and reflecting clearly the sequences of her thoughts. She's almost matched by Belafonte, and both leads are mesmerizingly beautiful. Considering the waste of Dandridge's career, it is heartening that CARMEN JONES exists as a testament to her beauty and singular talent.
She died from a barbiturate overdose in 1965 at age 41. leave a comment

I have been meaning to post slow cooker Persian recipes for a while. It is only fit that I begin this series with the one recipe that I make year after year. In fact, every single year for our Norouz Party I load up my two slow cookers with the ingredients for Asheh Reshteh and let the slow cooker do its magic while I prep Sabzi Polow, Kuku Sabzi, and the fish for our guests.
There are few good things about making this hearty soup in a slow cooker. First, I have more room on my stove to cook the other items, most importantly I have plenty of room for my huge pot of rice. Second, I don't have to constantly stir the soup. Finally, I can simply serve the soup in the crockpot instead of using a serving dish.
This is a great recipe to simply load up before going to work and coming home to a delicious smelling home! Before I go any further thought, let me share some of my personal beliefs when it comes to cooking with a slow cooker. In the past seven years that I have owned slow cookers I have experimented a lot and learned valuable cooking lessons. I will share my tips and findings as they apply as I post each recipes. With that said, one thing remains a common factor when it comes to using a slow cooker: in order for the food to really taste good, you must do some prep work before placing the ingredients in the pot. Through trial and error I have found that it's very difficult to get a meal that tastes good by simply throwing the raw ingredients in a slow cooker and let it cook for hours.
As far as Asheh Reshteh is concerned, it is pretty important to sauté the onion and garlic. Also, it's best to add the noodles in the last hour or so of the cooking period, because otherwise they will simply be overcooked and fall apart.
The other thing that I would like to mention is that slow cookers do not all operate at the same rate. Our oval slow cooker arrives to a simmer much faster than our round one. So when I load them up in the morning of our party, I also have to make sure that I keep that in mind so that the flavor of both pots is consistent.
2 large onions, sliced thinly length wise
6-8 cloves of garlic, minced
1/3 cup chickpeas
1/3 cup red beans
1/2 cup lentils
2 tsp turmeric
3 cups fresh parsley (packed)
2 cups fresh cilantro (packed)
2 cups fresh mint (packed)
20 springs of fresh chives or scallions ( green portion of scallions only)
1 1/2 lb. baby spinach
2 oz reshteh
1 tbsp flour
kashk, whey ( sour cream can be substituted for kashk)
The night before this recipe is cooked, soak red beans and chickpeas in water. Sauté onion and garlic until past translucent. Then add turmeric and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes or so. Set onion and garlic aside until ready to load slow cooker.
In the morning, first turn on slow cooker. Then load onion and garlic mixture along with chickpeas, red beans, and lentils.
Add chopped herbs. Now this is where previously packaged Frozen Herbs come in handy. I used my own package that I had previously made.
Season the ingredients with salt and pepper. Then mix well.
Add spinach on top and push down as much as possible.
Add 8 cups of water and place the cover on. In my slow cooker this recipe can be cooked on high in 4 1/2 hours or on slow in about 8 hours.
An hour before the recipe is ready, in a bowl mix flour with half a cup of broth from the soup. Then add back to the pot and mix well. At this point adjust seasoning as needed.
Then add noodles. If cooking on low temperature, then turn the temp to high, and continue cooking for one more hour so that the noodles cook all the way through. If cooking on high, then continue cooking without changing the temperature. When ready, serve with a dollop of Kashk.
If you are home while this recipe is made, then I suggest stirring the soup a couple of times as the spinach loses its volume as it cooks in the first hour. If you are loading the soup in the morning before going to work, then I would load the slow cooker and get it going first thing in the morning. In my case by the time I shower, get dressed, have breakfast and I am ready to go out the door, the spinach has wilted considerably.
As I mentioned before, slow cookers vary from brand to brand, so it's important to experiment a couple times with the cooking time until you get it down to a science.

Hear Future's "Benz Friendz," featuring André 3000 off Honest (due Apr. 22), which you can stream and pre-order on iTunes now.
Posted in Singles | Tags: andre 3000, future
My Sentiments Exactly
Andre 3000 can make anything sound great even Future's dumbass!
Back when I had things like "guilty pleasures", this would be one of those.... Now, I just like what I like.... No reason to feel bad about it at all....... Nice.....
I love what you said
This is the best song Future has ever been apart of...3 Stacks Feat. Struggle Falsetto
wow 2dope
It's nothing crazy.
This is great, every part of it. The production, the Future verses, hook, all. Would be a great single.
great, another over hyped, overpraised 3k feature which is only just good
Lol. What an idiot. I never understood overrated - are the select people who don't like the song more qualified to determine what is good than the actual majority who think It's amazing? Fuck outta here.
Are the few who have their own opinion and think the verse is just good but nothing spectacular allowed to think that way? lmao
your an idiot, read what you just wrote....
, "the verse is just good"
go argue with yo self, you are agreeing with everyone who likes it???
right I'm the idiot but you're the one who can't grasp what I'm saying...I was agreeing with the dude who said the verse was good but will probably be overpraised as pretty much anything andre puts out is. granted he has put out a lot of dope features but this is not "verse of the year" status. so yea I like it but I was just agreeing with dude akeem and seeing as how I wasn't commenting to you in the first place you don't really seem to get what I was referencing in Mali's post simp
if you have no concept of an artist being overrated due to their reputation preceding them or due to nostalgic fanfair bias, a matter of which 3k is a major victim of, then we cant have a sensible discussion.
i mean, when you see comments like "this is the only good thing about futures album" you get an idea as to just how nonobjective the praise is.
put it this way, if the like systen was still in place, the fanboys would have given this a thumbs up before they even hit the play button, even if they never plan on listening again
people are reacting this way simply because it's new 3k, not because it's actually any good. in a few weeks those same people wont give a fuck about this song
when was the last time we heard a 3k verse bru them shits dont come often maybe thats why people are overhyping it along with many other reasons (for example its fuckin andre 3k) and i feel u but at the end of the day this is a good andre track and he did his thing and it was awesome so chill
you crazy hip hop verse of the year thus far, and this will be the song for the summer, Go pop some bottles, or make it rain in order to make yourself feel better. Dre sounds like he just started spittin, yesterday like he said:
, "I guess its like a bike, think about it"
hip hop is alive! my nigga dont hate...
One of the only listenable songs on Futures album
because three stacks made, it... this is the begging of the end for future..
has andre ever not brung it?!
Yeah 98% of the last decade in which you dont hear him rapping at all. Andre gave us one verse today and he'll disappear again for another 6 months to a year.
its not bad and I like the concept but its nothing id put in the rotation
why not DJ Fonzo?
why the hell would you matter, song of the summer....
eat a dick and get off mines
your music rotation? 1st off who cares about u, NOBODY!! , "I told that bitch i don't give a fuck about a rotation. This song is for you bra. If you don't like the track then shut the fuck up and don't comment >>
damn I was talking bout my own music rotation but I guess yall so stuck on dres dick that anything remotely bad said about him yall need to defend him like your child lmao
Its not bad, I like the concept, but I still wont play it..
You are a self proclaimed hater. Too early to judge what this song is going to do... YO DJ AINT NO DJ HE JUST HIT THAT INSTANT REPLAY...
Big Boi should chop this up, remove future and throw in his few cents in there.
Wow this Future hate is ridiculous
Maybe because he's horrible? and his auto tune shit sounds like my old fax machine
Soooo you have no idea who zapp and roger or teddy Riley then. Foh fuck nigga.
Don't compare Zapp n Roger n Teddy Riley to Future...they were masters with auto tune...this nigga SUCKS
They were taught and groomed. Future is a straight nigga. Learning as he goes along, tryna feed those babies. Foh tryna discredit the talent and creativity that the struggle births. You fuck nigga.
YOU gtfoh for trying to defend straight up trash. Talent and creativity?!
YOUZ a hater
u have zero likes.... you dick rida
So you, "Dat Nigga", proclaims Future is a "straight nigga"...which I dont know if you're demeaning him or biggin him up...this is why this word is pathetic and needs to stop; then you claim the guy droppin knowledge to you is a "fuck nigga". Hmmm...what shines brightly here is IGNORANCE personified. First...Future is TERRIBLE. Second, the white major label execs in "the industry" love dumb "niggas" like Future because they continue to exploit black males and these white men get rich off them making themselves LOOK FOOLISH. Third, Zapp, Troutman, And Teddy Riley were ACTUAL MUSICIANS AND HAD TALENT. Fourth, you need to smarten up and quit perpetuating what THEY (the elites of "the industry") want you to KEEP perpetuating...the continued demise of the black male and their chase for money, riches, strippers, cars, jewelry, etc. and START waking the fuck up, like many others, and STOP feeding into the ignorance man. Come on.
First off, ol boy is a fuck nigga bcuz I said he was a fuck nigga. That's just as irrelevant and subjective as you saying the word nigga needs to be erased. Fuck nigga shit lol. You obvious take these blogs too serious with being able to voice your irrelevant opinion and what not. Like it's changing the world. Fuck nigga thoughts lol.
Second, future is the man. Foh. The reason the white execs love ppl like future, is bcuz his music sells and brings in the money. If w.e your fav rapper's shit sold, believe me, they'd be behind it.
Third, futures the man lol. Teddy Riley and em are what you consider musicians ( which is really what someone told you ) is bcuz they had the proper training and grooming. Like if jayz or nas went to college or had the right upbringing.
Fourth, the nigga future wrote Rihanna's loveeeee song. Arguably her best song. Foh after that. Oh and drunk in love, nigga obviously ghost wrote that. Shit did his version where he getting his auto tuned Brian McKnight on and ain't half bad. Youz obviously just a hater.
Future didn't ghostwrite Beyonce! Nigga Beyonce IS a songwriter wtf she need Future for? Future is being used by the corporate LOL his music is just hot for the moment...nigga won't even be relevant 5 years from now! You think it's because of talent? FOH bruh! Man that's just a get rich quick scheme for the white execs! You a fuck nigga for mistaken the truth for bullshyt. And third your comment on Jay Z and Nas is false because they DID have the proper training and grooming without going to college and they are STILL RELEVANT! You won't be able to say that about Future. Dumbass.
This nigga said jayz and nas had the proper grooming that's why they're there, foh after that.
Future wrote Rihanna's loveeee song. Clear as day songwriting credit for you fuck niggaz that can't think without hate lol. Can't take that away from him. And the nigga just started. He already dominated the clubs, inspired a wave of lil niggaz styles like migos and rich homie. Future here to stay. Him and mike will got raw talent. Got that modern day dmx and swizz with the pop cross overs. Nigga youz obviously just a hater lol.
Don't waste your time speaking to him...when you speak truth you're a "fuck nigga" to him. LOL
Lol you a fuck nigga lmao
Yeah bruh cuz you sure do know me enough to say that LOL..grow up bruh. i understand you're upset cuz everybody said your favorite rapper is trash. We get it. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
^ fuck nigga speeches lol
Nigga there is NO talent behind ANYTHING Future does...nobody looks foward to hearing him. They listen to his features...Future sucks bruh. Be real or GTFOH.
Such a blasphemous comparison.
that was talk box not auto tune
Bcuz that's matters.
Catchy beat. 3k sounds good on it.
3stacks rollerskating all over a "fuckin problems" interpolation? hell yes! my nigga hasn't lost a step. #salute
3 stackz
ha this song is horrible
They prolly roasting you thats why, ... You were in the club, trickin off dollars and poppin bottles last week, Just admit it you a following ass , skinny jeans rockin sucka... this song is far from horrible, open yo ears my guy...
Damn...Future had a half-not-rhymin 16 bars ONLY on his own joint?? Sounds like an Andre 3000 song ft. Future...right?
3 stacks is gifted! Period
sweet Jesus!!!!!!!
