- Carnegie Mellon study reveals that odor discrimination is linked to the timing at which neurons fire
11-07-2006 · EurekAlert!
Timing is everything. For a mouse trying to discriminate between the scent of a tasty treat and the scent of the neighborhood cat, timing could mean life or death. In a striking discovery, Carnegie Mellon University scientists have linked the timing of inhibitory neuron activity to the generation of odor-specific patterns in the brain's olfactory bulb, the area of the brain responsible for distinguishing odors.

- Theoretical physicists develop test for string theory
01-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
For decades, many scientists have criticized string theory, pointing out that it does not make predictions by which it can be tested. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University; the University of California, San Diego; and The University of Texas at Austin have developed a test of string theory. Their test, described in the January 26 Physical Review Letters, involves measurements of how elusive high-energy particles scatter during particle collisions.

- Design the first map of active faults in the Gibraltar Arc to prevent earthquakes
02-05-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers from the University of Granada characterised the physical and mechanical properties of the Earth's crust of this area of intense seismic activity. The African and Eurasian plates get about 4 mm closer every year. The study related the temperature of the Earth's crust to its seismic activity, determining that the probability of earthquakes is significantly lower in areas of higher temperature. Results were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research and Tectonics.
