Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and Medical School have developed a unique head-mounted mini-microscope device that allows them to image complex brain functions of freely moving mice in real time over a period of more than 300 days.
The device, known as the mini-MScope, offers an important new tool for studying how neural activity from multiple regions of the outer part of the brain, called the cortex, contribute to behavior, cognition and perception. The groundbreaking study provides new insight into fundamental research that could improve human brain conditions such as concussions, autism, Alzheimer s, and Pa

DULUTH – These stoves tell stories. Dennis Gunsolus knows them all.
His basement is a showroom of more than 200 ornate and meticulously restored home heating devices that date back more than a century the product of a lifetime of work, a hobby taken to its logical extreme.
In one corner, surrounded by the craftsmanship of eras long gone, sits a four-column Johnson, Geer and Cox stove from 1843, looking like it never saw a single flame flicker in its iron insides. Nearby is the Green Island stove, another four-column model with nearly every surface cast with intricate designs.
Upstairs in his hand-built home beneath an enormous stained-glass window more on that later sit some of Gunsolus’ prized stoves. There’s a Splendid by Fuller Warren & Co. with nickel plating don’t call it chrome next to an all-black coal-burning Halstead from 1838.

Many have been challenged with emotional dilemmas over the last four months after COVID-19 vaccines first became available in the United States. As states distributed vaccines in different ways and at different speeds, some waiting their turn in line – or deciding whether or not to even get in line – have experienced vaccine anxiety, guilt and shaming.

Study identifies three clinical COVID-19 phenotypes
In a new study, researchers identify three clinical COVID-19 phenotypes, reflecting patient populations with different comorbidities, complications and clinical outcomes. The three phenotypes are described in a paper published this week in the open-access journal
PLOS ONE 1st authors Elizabeth Lusczek and Nicholas Ingraham of University of Minnesota Medical School, US, and colleagues.
COVID-19 has infected more than 18 million people and led to more than 700,000 deaths around the world. Emergency department presentation varies widely, suggesting that distinct clinical phenotypes exist and, importantly, that these distinct phenotypic presentations may respond differently to treatment.
