It was revealed in Nature Neuroscience that the high level action video games increase a player’s real-world vision. But Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester, found that very practiced action gamer have an increase in their ability to discern slight differences in shades of gray as 58 [...]

Biofuel known to be the solid, liquid or gaseous fuel derived from relatively recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. This gives us an information that biofuel can be derived from fossil fuels, and fossil fuels derived from long dead living material. What about deriving the [...]

Scientists believe that parkinson is intimately linked to brain, where it occurs when a group of cells in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra begin to malfunction and die. Parkinson happens in the form of movement disorder that is chronic and progressive that can be worsen over time.  You know, nearly one [...]

Nanotechnology seems to be the solution for human problem now. Wheter it is a cancer, tumor, heart monitoring, or even a synthetic brain. After the scientist in USA–led by Professor Alice Parker, University of Southern California–informed that they are attempting to build neurons from carbon nanotubes to emulate human brain function, ScienceDaily yesterday reported that “synthetic [...]

After the first cases of touch-emotion synaesthesia discovered in NewScientist last year, recently the regions of our DNA that wire some people to “see” sounds have been discovered. NewScientist reported,  Julian Asher at Imperial College London, and colleagues from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford took genetic samples from 196 [...]

DNA known to be the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.  It works as the main information source of our body molecules. It consists of different codes–this is the reason–why every body must have a unique pattern of the code,  except families. Different person come with different codes, this is the basic [...]
