I put the Illinois Learning Standards and the Synapse side-by-side to suggest that we require students to learn subjects inside of little boxes, while students think about them in highly connected networks. The boxes in the Standards are separated from each other in all sorts of ways: living things are in different boxes than processes of the Earth. Different things about the same subject are spread out over five different grade levels. There seems little chance of having a thought that relates an early box in “A” to a late box in “E.”

A little brain boost is something we could all use now and then. A new option may be on the horizon. Researchers at the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, in Bethesda, MD, are studying how applying gentle electrical current to the scalp can improve learning.

In this light, it’s not surprising that people behave less morally as they become skeptical of free will. Further, the Vohs and Schooler result fits with the idea that people will behave less responsibly if they regard their actions as beyond their control. If I think that there’s no point in trying to be good, then I’m less likely to try.

如果我们能够理解人类的思维是如何学习的，我们就能够理解如何管理我们的学习资源网络。

社会性网络理论时代，这是Duncan J. Watts等人开创的领域

学习网络这个项目在理论上、以及超越理论的目的，就是要建立或帮助人们建立各种工具，当它们被大量使用时，将会产生出一个自我组织的网络来。

Green's university, Coppin State, is one of a few hundred across the country that's using the lecture-archiving system called Tegrity. In Maryland, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Salisbury University and the Community College of Baltimore County are using it, too. School officials say the technology is not only helping students stay on pace with course work, it's taking away a prime reason for dropping out.

Glucose metabolism naturally slows with age, and memory begins to decline in our 30s, says co-author Scott Small, an associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. The new study suggests a possible association between the two, because elevated blood sugar appears to damage the dentate gyrus, Small says.

BrainMaps.org is an interactive multiresolution next-generation brain atlas that is based on over 20 million megapixels of sub-micron resolution, annotated, scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains and that is integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet. Currently featured are complete brain atlas datasets for various species, including Macaca mulatta, Chlorocebus aethiops, Felis catus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, and Tyto alba.

     三鹿毒奶粉案一场轰轰烈烈的审判，变成了一宗政治闹剧。当局对主要犯罪人重罪轻罚、高举轻放，对幕后保护伞放纵不究，举国为之哗然，当局依法治国的招牌，又蒙上一层厚厚的污垢，三十多万受害的结石宝宝欲哭无泪。

    今次毒奶粉事件，影响极为恶劣，三十多万婴儿受害，比得上一场南京大屠杀，更可悲的是当中许多还留下后遗症，一辈子生不如死。如此惨烈的生命浩劫，那些刽子手们却可逃脱一死，令人悲愤莫名。

    今次审判安排在岁末年初进行，内大有文章。审判完便是内地元旦三天假期，很多记者、编辑放假，读者观众忙于休閒，当局精挑细选这样的时间，明显是不想引人注意，避免媒体跟进调查，令事件大事化小。

"Without regulating your attention, you would orient to everything that appears and moves. An organism that couldn't filter anything just wouldn't work. It would be in a state of constant distraction," said Moore. "This work shows that, whether we are moving our eyes or not, the networks that control eye movements may be a source of that filtering."

When I first read Isaac’s gentle “manifesto” about Sharism I was instantly pulled into to the clarity and intent of his writing. I thought here is a man contemplating the enormous cultural and technological development that he himself is thriving inside of and he has perspective and keen insight. I know that Stuart Kauffman is looking for a new global ethic and right in front of us is a powerful new tool and sensibility that is emerging.

他（蔡）说，首先中国的政策始终是鼓励和帮助互联网的发展，而不是压抑互联网的发展。其次他说各个国家都有按照本国历史、国情、民俗制定的管理互联网的法律，中国也一样。他举例说比如在伊斯兰国家不准亵渎真主，或者在德国不准宣传纳粹。吉米回答说，他觉得维基百科的中立性非常适合这个规则。因为我们是写百科全书的，我们写世界上有什么，我们陈述各种观点，但是我们不是做宣传的或者传教的。我们在非伊斯兰国家里也不亵渎真主，在德国外也不宣传纳粹。----  [维基百科：互助客栈]

How will you obtain a higher education? Some major headlines in 2009 already play on the fears about how to pay for a higher education. Press releases from colleges want to quell those fears about monies for college, and politicians have introduced legislation to make education more affordable.

Since inventing much of the technology behind personal computing in the late 1960s, Alan Kay has dedicated his work to developing better learning environments for children. Now a senior researcher at HP and the president of Viewpoints Research Institute, Kay is launching Squeak, a multimedia authoring tool that allows children to construct dynamic simulations of real-world phenomena. We spoke with him about the unfulfilled promise of technology in schools—and about what computers have in common with pianos.

have shown that both calorie restriction and intermittent fasting along with vitamin and mineral intake, increase resistance to disease, extend lifespan, and stimulate production of neurons from stem cells.

Physical exercise may also have beneficial effects on neuron regeneration by stimulating regeneration of brain and muscle cells via activation of stress proteins and the production of growth factors. But again, additional research suggests that not all exercise is equal. Interestingly, some researchers found that exercise considered drudgery was not beneficial in neuronal regeneration, but physical activity that was engaged in purely for fun, even if equal time was spent and equal calories were burned, resulted in neuronal regeneration.
