Editor’s Selections: Remembering, Synaesthetic Mice, and Biblical Autism
November 23rd, 2010 Editor's Selections No Comments
Jason Goldman selects several notable posts each week from Psychology and Neuroscience. He blogs at The Thoughtful Animal and at Child’s Play.
- Sleep is really important for health and cognition among other things. But what about for memory? An interesting discussion at Psychothalamus about the relationship between sleep and remembering to remember.
- A fascinating post at Wiring the Brain begins with pain sensitivity in fruit flies and ends with synaesthetic mice! It’s a bit of a wild ride, but well worth the read.
- Finally, at the Neuroskeptic blog, enjoy a post entertaining the speculation that Samson (of biblical fame) may have been autistic. Speculative, indeed.
One last friendly reminder to submit your favorite posts for Open Lab – only eight days left!
