Within my bursts of brain-
A compliment from the cosmos
To reverse my plea of shame
Starting with an itch
fueled by a tick dying to purge
Gelatinous mind scrambled thought toast
Soaked by perceptive introvert curd
Visionary straws
or rays of sight turned tubes
Of vermicelli tangled madness
In a sauce of love imbued
Down the flesh gutter waterslide
to the belly of my beast
Must keep the lids from closing early

| Brain Tumor Surgery in India | | 2008-05-04 13:10:15 | | As we all know that India is now becoming a medical hub and a growing destination for Brain Tumor surgery. Medical tourism companies are a boon to those people who are in a search of low cost for surgeries. Medical tourism companies has been providing valuable information and guidance regarding neurosurgery or brain tumor surgery in India to abroad patients as the number of patients having brain disorders have started coming to the neuro surgeons of India for brain tumor surgery at an affordable price. When it comes to price, abroad patients consider India as the best place for this surgery. Medical tourism has broad appeal as it is providing best medical healthcare facilities during this surgery at a cost of fraction in major industrialized cities of India.

| Singing in the brain | | 2008-05-01 16:41:49 | | Young songbirds babble before they can mimic an adult's song, much like their human counterparts. Now, in work that offers insights into how birds -- and perhaps people -- learn new behaviors, MIT scientists have found that immature and adult birdsongs are driven by two separate brain pathways, rather than one pathway that slowly matures.

This scientific advancement could make it possible to develop computer systems that have memories that do not forget, do not need to be booted up, consume far less power and associate information in a manner similar to that of the human brain.

| CONNECTING BRAINS TO ARTIFICIAL BRAIN | | 2008-04-26 01:26:00 | | Northwestern University researchers of washington have pioneered a technique called targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), which allows an artificial limb to respond directly to the brain’s signals, making it much easier to use than traditional motorized body parts.The technique, which is still under development, allows wearers to open and close their artificial hands and bend and straighten their artificial elbows nearly as naturally as their own arms.“The idea is that when you lose your arm, you lose the motors, the muscles and the structural elements of the bones. But the control information should still be there in the residual nerves,” said Dr Todd A Kuiken, a physiatrist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and professor at Northwestern University.He conceived the idea of taking the residual nerves that once carried the commands from the brain to produce arm, wrist and hand movements, and of connecting them to the chest muscles so that the signals can be used to move th | | By: BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING | | |

They found that different brain areas are activated when a person moves up or down in a pecking order -- or simply views perceived social superiors or inferiors. Circuitry activated by important events responded to a potential change in hierarchical status as much as it did to winning money.

In 2005, Mahinda Rajapaksa won the election without any support from his own party leader Chandrika Kumaratunga or his deputy nominee from his party Anura Bandaranayke. When key members form Mahinda Rajapaksa’s own party was secretly campaigning against him, it was JHU and JVP that come to support him. Wimal Weerawansa played a key role on behalf of JVP in the presidential campaign for Mahida Rajapaksa. In the post defeat analysis UNP think tank clearly identified the fact that as long as UPFA get the support of JVP, they are no longer in a position to challenge the government.UNP knew that, due to ideological differences, they can never come in to coalition with JVP on political grounds.

| Brain | | 2008-04-02 04:30:00 | | Brainstem - The lower extension of the brain where it connects to the spinal cord. Neurological functions located in the brainstem include those necessary for survival (breathing, digestion, heart rate, blood pressure) and for arousal (being awake and alert).Most of the cranial nerves come from the brainstem. The brainstem is the pathway for all fiber tracts passing up and down from peripheral nerves and spinal cord to the highest parts of the brain.Cerebellum - The portion of the brain (located at the back) which helps coordinate movement (balance and muscle coordination). Damage may result in ataxia which is a problem of muscle coordination.

However, conclusive statements on the level of danger are not yet possible. Whether professional boxers such as Muhammad Ali contracted their later brain conditions -- in his case Parkinson’s disease at the age of 40 -- presumably from boxing, remains unclear. The all-clear cannot be given until more extensive studies of both amateur and professional boxers tell us more about the risks for the brain from boxing.

| Does stress damage the brain? | | 2008-03-19 12:31:45 | | Individuals who experience military combat obviously endure extreme stress, and this exposure leaves many diagnosed with the psychiatric condition of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is associated with several abnormalities in brain structure and function. However, as researcher Roger Pitman explains, "Although it is tempting to conclude that these abnormalities were caused by the traumatic event, it is also possible that they were pre-existing risk factors that increased the risk of developing PTSD upon the traumatic event's occurrence." Drs. Kasai and Yamasue along with their colleagues sought to examine this association in a new study published in the March 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry.

| Your brain on Krispy Kremes | | 2008-03-06 12:16:26 | | What makes you suddenly dart into the bakery when you spy chocolate- frosted donuts in the window, though you certainly hadn't planned on indulging? As you lick the frosting off your fingers, don't blame a lack of self-control. New research from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine reveals how hunger works in the brain and the way neurons pull your strings to lunge for the sweet fried dough.

| Julia's Brain Tries On Attention Deficit Disorder | | 2008-03-04 15:01:00 | | I've got a list of different thoughts in my head. I just need to write it down and am going to blog it to show what a mess my head is today.- I need to pick up birthday cards, use the $10 JCPenney coupon and free coupon thing for Victoria's Secret.- I need to make sure I get the next set of quilts into the wash and that I get the bed made up tonight.- I need to remember that the next time I want to live blog something, I can just Twitter it rather than worry about finding a computer to log onto. It'll show up in the sidebar anyway.- Maybe I need to stop by Office Max to pick up file folder labels so I can re-use some old file folders and switch out labels on the hanging files in the old filing cabinet.- I wonder if I can convince Matt to stop by Target on Saturday. I really need a couple new dresses and they had some cute ones that were nicely priced. It would solve some of my "What the hell am I going to wear for Mark's birthday party/Easter/3 million weddings??" issue.- I wonder | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| Learning, arts, and the brain | | 2008-03-04 14:12:00 | | Learning, Arts, and the Brain, a study three years in the making, is the result of research by cognitive neuroscientists from seven leading universities in the United States. In the Dana Consortium study, released today at a news conference at the Dana Foundation’s Washington, DC headquarters, researchers grappled with a fundamental question: Are smart people drawn to the arts or does arts training make people smarter?

| How a mother’s brain responds to her infant | | 2008-03-02 21:29:11 | | The distinctive ability of mothers to identify the cries of their offspring is widely evident in nature, where it is critical to the survival of these offspring. In humans, we are aware that the distinctive ability of mothers to recognize and respond to the smiles and cries of their babies plays an important role in the psychological, cognitive, and social development of these babies. We have had a very limited understanding of how the maternal brain accomplishes these amazing feats, but a new study published in the February 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry now provides some new insight.
