Neocortex: a lean mean memory storage machine

P2: Neocortex and Memory

The human prefrontal cortex differs from all other mammals: the seat of complex cognition, abstract thinking, planning and future forecasting, and behavioral inhibition. Using our prefrontal cortex is a significant energy drain on the body, so despite its impressive capabilities, it’s daily capacity is limited. Some researchers estimate a mere 2-3 hours per day of activity depletes the pr...

Genome complexity in a lean, mean photosynthetic machine.

P hotosynthetic organisms come in all shapes and sizes. From a human perspective, the trees and plants of dry land are the most conspicuous examples, but the next time you admire a colorful tulip or marvel at the girth of a giant Sequoia, consider the following: Approximately half of the oxygen we breathe is generated by singlecelled photosynthesizers, phytoplankton, adrift in the world’s ocean...
