Unlike people and most animals, the rover's brains - its computer - are in its boxy body. The computer module is called the Rover Compute Element (RCE) - there are actually two identical RCEs in the body so there is always a spare "brain."

The Rover Compute Element interfaces with the engineering functions of the Perseverance rover over two networks which follow an aerospace industry standard designed especially for the high-reliability requirements of airplanes and spacecraft. In addition, the RCEs have a special purpose to direct interfaces with all of the rover instruments for exchange of commands and science data.

The rover has two "computer brains," one of which is normally asleep. In case of problems the other computer brain can be awakened to take over control and continue the mission.

The feeling of pleasure is how a healthy brain identifies and reinforces beneficial behaviors, such as eating, socializing, and sex. Our brains are wired to increase the odds that we will repeat pleasurable activities. The neurotransmitter dopamine is central to this. Whenever the reward circuit is activated by a healthy,

We analyzed 131 human brains (44 neurotypical, 19 with Tourette syndrome, 9 with schizophrenia, and 59 with autism) for somatic mutations after whole genome sequencing to a depth of more than 200. Typically, brains had 20 to 60 detectable single-nucleotide mutations, but ~6% of brains harbored hundreds of somatic mutations. Hypermutability was associated with age and damaging mutations in genes implicated in cancers and, in some brains, reflected in vivo clonal expansions. Somatic duplications, likely arising during development, were found in ~5% of normal and diseased brains, reflecting background mutagenesis. Brains with autism were associated with mutations creating putative transcription factor binding motifs in enhancer-like regions in the developing brain. The top-ranked affected motifs corresponded to MEIS (myeloid ectopic viral integration site) transcription factors, suggesting a potential link between their involvement in gene regulation and autism.

In a small study supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), researchers found that teen brains looked as though they had aged an average of about 3 years during only 10 months of the pandemic. This effect mirrors what is known to happen in teen brains after they are exposed to adversity or traumatic events.

The researchers compared images from 64 teens who had already been scanned before the shutdown with images from 64 teens who received scans when the study restarted. The researchers matched the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic teen brains as closely as possible based on sex, age when scanned, race, household income, and other demographics.

On average, the brains of teens who went through 10 months of pandemic shutdowns aged around 3 years. This premature aging is similar to changes that happen in the brains of teens who experience violence, neglect, and family dysfunction.

These findings underscore the serious struggle that adolescents experienced during pandemic shutdowns and should be taken into consideration by health care providers, mental health professionals, parents, and others who work with teens. Prematurely aging brains can correlate with depression, anxiety, and addiction in the future and a higher risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Interested in scheduling a lesson? We'd love to hear from you! Lessons typically target students in fourth to eighth grade, but can be adjusted for other age ranges and abilities. In-person lessons run for approximately one hour, with virtual sessions lasting 30-45 minutes. Group sizes range from about 10-60 students. To get the most out of our sessions, we recommend smaller groups of approximately 30 students. Questions? Contact us at growingbrains@umn.edu.

Human brain size evolved most rapidly during a time of dramatic climate change. Larger, more complex brains enabled early humans of this time period to interact with each other and with their surroundings in new and different ways. As the environment became more unpredictable, bigger brains helped our ancestors survive.

To be successful, researchers at the Neuroleadership Institute have found we must excel across three core domains of great leadership: being future-focused, being good with people, and being able to drive results. And yet, as we develop as leaders, our brains evolve in ways that challenge our ability to excel in these areas. The team analyzed dozens of leadership development programs used by larger organizations and discovered they often fail to equip leaders across all three domains. The good news is that we can be taught to combat these tendencies once we understand why our brains fight us.

These findings could have major implications for other longitudinal studies that have spanned the pandemic. If kids who experienced the pandemic show accelerated development in their brains, scientists will have to account for that abnormal rate of growth in any future research involving this generation.

Another key variable in the composition of men versus women stems from the sex chromosomes, which form one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell. Generally, females have two X chromosomes in their pair, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. A gene on the Y chromosome is responsible for the cascade of developmental events that cause bodies and brains to take on male characteristics. Some other genes on the Y chromosome may be involved in brain physiology and cognition.

Interestingly, they found that the frequency of replay during rest predicted memory strengthening. In other words, the subjects whose brains replayed the typing activity more often showed greater jumps in performance after each trial than those who replayed it less often.

In early investigations, Caldern-Garcidueas dissected the brains of dogs that had been exposed to air pollution of Mexico City and compared them with the brains of dogs from a less-polluted city. She found the Mexico City dogs' brains showed increased inflammation and pathology including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, clumps of proteins that serve as a primary marker for Alzheimer's disease in humans (Toxicologic Pathology, 2003).

To find out more about the underlying cause of those behavioral changes, Nelson compared the brains of mice that had been exposed to dirty air with brains of mice that hadn't. He found a number of striking differences. For starters, mice exposed to particulate matter had increased levels of cytokines in the brain. (Cytokines are cell-signaling molecules that regulate the body's inflammatory response.) That wasn't entirely surprising, since previous studies investigating the cardiovascular effects of air pollution on mice had found widespread bodily inflammation in mice exposed to the pollution.

How does air pollution affect our brains? It depends on the size of the particle we inhale, says Jennifer Weuve, MPH, ScD, of Rush Medical College. Fine particulate matter, which includes smoke, car exhaust and pollen, can interact directly with the brain. Coarse particulate matter, however, is more of a mystery that researchers are only now beginning to study.

Decadesof research have chronicled the ways stress can disrupt business as usual inour brains. Recent studies have made even more clear how stress saps ourability to plan ahead and have pointed to one way that stress changes howcertain brain cells operate.

Asthis chaotic period rolls on, stressors will change and accumulate. Sustainedcrisis, scientists suspect, can change our brains and their capabilities ineven more profound ways than temporary stress.

The neuroscientists are using several tools to monitor changes in them as they grow: MRI to monitor changes through brain scans, EEG to track electrical activity in the brains, behavioral testing and other such techniques.

The auditory system connects our ear to our brain to process sound. When we hear something, our ears receive it in the form of vibrations that it converts into a neural signal. That signal is then sent to the brainstem, up to the thalamus at the center of the brain, and outward to its final destination, the primary auditory cortex, located near the sides of the brain. e24fc04721
