Abstract Nature produces a remarkable diversity of intricately architectured mineralized composites that in many instances far exceeds the performance of their modern engineering analogs. Despite significant investigations into structure-function relationships in these complex biological materials, in many instances, there is…
Abstract Deep space exploration will cast unprecedented, multi-faceted health challenges for astronauts. The development of a non-invasive technique that can modulate region-specific brain activity may provide non-pharmacological alternatives for neurological/ psychological interventions for crew members undergoing long space missions. To…
Jeremy M Wolfe, PhD Professor of Ophthalmology & Radiology, Harvard Medical School Visual Attention Lab Department of Surgery, Brigham & Women's Hospital Abstract We cannot simultaneously recognize every object in our field of view. As a result, we deploy attention from…
Treatment of epidural tumours located in the spinal canal can be highly challenging, due to the risk of causing irreversible damage. To address this challenge, a medical team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute have performed a study showing that…
