- Why you remember names and ski slopes
11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered the brain protein kalirin-7 is critical for helping you learn and remember what you learned. Previous studies by other researchers found that kalirin levels are reduced in brains of people with diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. Thus, the discovery of kalirin's role in learning offers new insight into the pathophysiology of these disorders and makes it a new target for future drug therapy to treat or delay the progression of these diseases.

An experiment called HEX2 that consisted of four NASA suborbital sounding rockets, launched from Poker Flat Research Range during an aurora display over northern Alaska this morning. Each rocket emitted vapor trails in an experiment to learn more about winds associated with the aurora. Researchers saw the vapor trails from Poker Flat; about 30 miles north of Fairbanks, and aurora watchers at clear locations throughout northern Alaska should have been able to see them.
