POPSFollowing the Alpha Geeks for fun and profit This was extracted from the stream of messy data coming out of the DevLearn 2008 Conference... (wherever it is being held...) I love the term "Alpha-Geek" and think of myself as a Beta-Geek with Alpha-Geek tendencies.

POPSThe Power of the Memory Molecule Nevertheless, this paper marks an important advancement in understanding how chemical pathways in the brain are able to encode and recall events and experiences.

POPSThis is your brain... on alpha-CaMKII Now if only I could gain someone's memory, I too can be a board certified M.D. ~.^ This technique appears to mask memories rather than erase them though. What was I going to say? Oh yes, the article makes it seem more like the mice had a lapse in memory rather than memory loss.

POPSSelectively Deleting Memories "One thing that we're really intrigued by is that this is a selective erasure," Tsien says. "We know that erasure occurred very quickly, and was initiated by the recall itself." "But people are very interested in devising a way where you could come up with a drug to expedite a way to do that," he says. That kind of treatment could change a memory by scrambling things up just in the neurons that are active during the specific act of the specific recollection. "That would be a very powerful thing," Mayford says. But the puzzle is an incredibly complex one, and getting to that point will take a vast amount of additional research. "Human memory is so complicated, and we are just barely at the foot of the mountain," Tsien says.

POPSAd Campaign Fights Back I didn't miss the irony inherent in this story. The opening paragraph tags Dawkins as a "firebrand" yet the message struck me as a bit tepid, While definitionally correct (and some might even argue that point) the claim that there "probably" is no god struck me as a comment carefully chosen to cast the least amount of controversy. Tomato/tomahto...

POPSTabGroups - Group Your Tabs in Firefox This is an experimental extension, and you have to log in to use it. But if you have a lot of tabs open at once, this is a very logical way to group them. Granted, its kinda not all the way working, but I've not found anything else that does it.

POPS"Miracle Cure For Alzheimer's Disease?"
continues: The new study documents a dramatic and unprecedented therapeutic effect in an Alzheimer's patient: improvement within minutes following delivery of perispinal etanercept, which is etanercept given by injection in the spine. Etanercept (trade name Enbrel) binds and inactivates excess TNF. Etanercept is FDA approved to treat a number of immune-mediated disorders and is used off label in the study. Griffin and Mark are pioneers in the field of neuroinflammation. Griffin published a landmark study in 1989 describing the association of cytokine overexpression in the brain and Alzheimer's disease. "It is unprecedented that we can see cognitive and behavioral improvement in a patient with established dementia within minutes of therapeutic intervention," said Griffin. "It is imperative that the medical and scientific communities immediately undertake to further investigate and characterize the physiologic mechanisms involved. This gives all of us in Alzheimer's research a tre
