- Hypnosis study reveals brain's 'amnesia centers'
01-09-2008 · EurekAlert!
Brain scans of hypnotized people that are taken as they forget and are triggered to remember have revealed neural circuitry that is key to the memory suppression and recall process. The researchers who conducted the study said their insights into the memory suppression and recall process may yield insight into the mechanisms underlying amnesia.

- Hinode mission delves into solar mysteries
12-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
New, peer-reviewed results from the Hinode space mission ("Sunrise" in English) should help explain some long-standing mysteries of the Sun, such as the huge temperature difference between its relatively cool surface and its white-hot atmosphere, and the origins of the solar wind that blasts through the solar system and buffets planetary atmospheres. These findings appear in a special collection of 10 articles, by scientists in Japan, Europe and the United States, in the Dec. 7 issue of the journal Science.

- ESRF helps reveal the origin of the Solar System
12-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
Particles returned to Earth last January by the Stardust spacecraft from comet Wild two are yielding precious information about the origin of the solar system, thanks to the X-rays produced at several of the world's synchrotron facilities, including the ESRF. Although the particles are tiny, the beams available at synchrotrons can be even smaller, enabling researchers to illuminate the cometary material and determine the distribution of elements within the particles without damaging them.

- First Sunrise on Hinode's instruments
10-31-2006 · EurekAlert!
The Hinode (formerly Solar-B) satellite, a joint Japan/NASA/PPARC mission launched on 22nd September 2006, has today (October 31st) reported its first observations of the Sun with its suite of scientific instruments. The satellite was renamed "Hinode" which is Japanese for Sunrise, which is most appropriate since Hinode will watch at close hand massively explosive solar flares erupting from the Sun's surface and rising into interstellar space.

- Wired for sound: How the brain senses visual illusions
04-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a study that could help reveal how illusions are produced in the brain’s visual cortex, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have found new evidence of rapid integration of auditory and visual sensations in the brain. Their findings, which provide new insight into neural mechanisms by which visual perception can be altered by concurrent auditory events, will be published online in the April 12 edition of the Journal of Neuroscience.

- Mercury's magnetosphere fends off the solar wind
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
The planet Mercury's magnetic field appears to be strong enough to fend off the harsh solar wind from most of its surface, according to data gathered in part by a University of Michigan instrument onboard NASA's Messenger spacecraft.
