It has sometimes been suggested that humans use a tiny fraction of their brains. But, is this statement true? The authors of a study published on 20 January in the journal
Nature Communications answer this question using neural records of mice subjected to visual stimuli.
This paper demonstrates, in the visual system of mice, the presence of a type of coordination of neural activity called differential correlations. A study by Rubén Moreno-Bote, a researcher at the Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC) and Serra Hunter research professor with the UPF Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC); of Jan Drugowitsch s laboratory at Harvard University (USA), with the participation of researchers from the University of Zaragoza and the University of the Basque Country.
Alisa Rhodes â11 Takes Job as English Language Assistant in Galicia, Spain
Alisa Rhodes only just graduated from the University of Maine with a bachelorâs degree in English and Romance Languages, but she already has found a way to put her education to good use.
She has taken a job as an English language assistant in a public school in the town of La Cañiza in Galicia, Spain.
âIâll be helping the English teacher as he or she instructs 6-16 year-old students about U.S. culture as well as about English vocabulary and grammar,â says Rhodes, who spent two semesters in Spain during her junior year and fell in love with the country. Thrilled at the prospect of living there for another year or two, she says her new job comes at the perfect time.

The multidisciplinary research group Lactiker - Quality and Safety of Foods from Animal Origin, which is attached to the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), is working on (among other things) characterising the biochemical, microbiological and technological processes involved in cheese manufacturing that have a direct impact on its technological, nutritional and sensory quality, as well as on its food safety status. The aim is to provide the cheesemaking industry with the information it requires to ensure safe, high-quality products.
