if all these kinds of images were combined into one virtual 3D image, if at all possible, that would be wonderful.

A great idea from Bryan Alvarez: It would be great if the data collected from routine surgeries like this could be uploaded into the atlas anonymously. It would help fill it up very quickly!

Part of this is about eating bad food. The rest is about living a poor life. The effect that mindset has on you is hard to really understand unless you've lived it. This article does a good job at explaining.

excellent example of exploring the brain in 3d

Don't miss to read the comment thread of this. Great learning.

The person who wrote that is not a gamer. And is probably Marxist. Nothing's wrong with either framework, just something to be aware of.

a useful blog and a great article showing googles commitment to improving health

Scientists and surgeons from France, Germany, United Kingdom and Switzerland have developed a "virtual liver", using EU research funding, which will help surgeons better plan and carry out tumour operations and ensure quicker patient recovery. Personally I just find it a shame that there is no open source repository where this work can be made available to the general public. There is definitely no way for the general public to get involved. 

About 400 people interested in serious self-tracking meet for the inaugural Quantified Self conference in May this year. Self-tracking means monitoring quantities like your weight, sleep, location, messages, genes, body chemistry, performance, productivity, or any other of a thousand metrics. Self-trackers arrived from all over the world to share and explore the whys and hows of self-tracking.

Our bodies need about two litres of fluids per day, not two litres of water specifically. In an Editorial in the June issue of Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, Spero Tsindos from La Trobe University, examined why we consume so much water.

excellent flashed based tool much like google body browser. 

L'Ecorché is a groundbreaking, intuitive tool developed by artists, for artists to reference anatomy. It's not a book, it's not a sculpture. It's an elegant and painstakingly-detailed fusion of the two that takes the best of both and brings them into a whole new medium for learning.

While it's generally accepted that memories are stored somewhere, somehow in our brains, the exact process has never been entirely understood. Strengthened synaptic connections between neurons definitely have something to do with it, although the synaptic membranes involved are constantly degrading and being replaced - this seems to be somewhat at odds with the fact that some memories can last for a person's lifetime. Now, a team of scientists believe that they may have figured out what's going on. Their findings could have huge implications for the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
