Alternating training improves motor learning (Current Event)

            Alternating training improves motor learning

 Just a few days ago scientists discovered that alternating training improves motor learning. According to the Journal of Neuroscience. Researchers from the Kennedy Krieger Institute found that forcing people to switch from a normal walking pattern to an unusual one — and back again — made them better able to adjust to the unusual pattern the following day. The findings may help improve therapy for people relearning how to walk following stroke or other injury.

I find this interesting, coz it's the frist time im writing about something like this. Also I never knew that altertating training inproves motor learning. I didnt really get this 100% but I think I know wht they are talking about.

The rainbow experiment

Today in class we made experiments and made a rainbox experiment. In this picture you can see me holding the experiment and my friend Sooyoung next to me. :)

Scientists Discover 'Fickle' DNA Changes in Brain

Just two days ago, scientists finished there reaserch on the mice brain. They concluded that there are some DNA changes in brain. Doctor Johns Hopkins is still investingating this chemical change. They say that this change can be dangerous and may provide more diseases for the adult miceAnyway, this also may leed to a good thing.

I think that scientists are trying their best to find more about this adult mice  chemical change. To be honest there wasnt much information about this topic becasue its new, but I think it will be a big thing, once it's discovered.  In my opinion i think that this is an interesting topic to write about, and it made me feel wierd.
