Scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered that the role of neurons—which are responsible for specific tasks in the brain—is much more flexible than previously believed.
By studying sensory neurons in mice, the Salk team found that the malfunction of a single molecule can prompt the neuron to make an "early-career" switch, changing a neuron originally destined to process sound or touch, for example, to instead process vision.
Scientists are optimistic that having a full image of the human genome would help them better understand human evolution and pave the path for discoveries in
More flexible and better for the environment.
It is said to needed 36 percent less power to make and release up to 76 percent less carbon dioxide compared to standard bendable concrete made of concrete.
