Mice licking could reveal mysteries of human brain
Every time we reach for a cup, our brains must assess our hands’ current position in relation to the mug and then command muscles to make the proper adjustments to successfully grab the handle.
The neuroscience of reaching for something and making on-the-spot adjustments has been studied for a century in monkeys.
But now, for the first time, Cornell researchers have developed a technique for studying such motor control in mice – by focusing on a mouse’s tongue when it licks a water spout.
The technique incorporates high-speed cameras and machine learning in a tractable experimental setup that opens the door for revealing mysteries of how the motor cortex works, understanding the neural basis of related disorders like Parkinson’s disease, and informing robotics.

Gov. Brian Kemp had until Monday, 40 days since the close of the 2021 General Assembly session, to decide whether to sign or veto the bills the legislature passed. The most controversial bill of the session, the state’s new election law, was signed within an hour of its passage in March, but the legislature was busy passing other bills this year as well.
Kemp vetoed one bill that would have created a “chief labor officer” within the Department of Labor who would have reported to the state legislature. This was a hot-button issue during the legislative session as a backlog of unemployment claims frustrated jobless Georgians and the lawmakers they appealed to for help.

Since COVID-19 first appeared in the Treasure State back in March of 2020, more than 5,000 Montanans have been hospitalized because of the virus.
Choteau resident and U.S. Army veteran Ron Daley, 57, has spent the last six months in a hospital bed because of how the virus has ravaged his body. What started as a lingering cough would eventually lead to hospitalization, being put on a ventilator and paralysis.
