Researchers design copper connections for high-speed computing

As computers become more complex, the demand increases for more connections between computer chips and external circuitry and better connections that operate at higher frequencies with less loss. Georgia Tech researchers are developing new methods to improve these two types of connections to increase the amount and speed of information that can be sent throughout a computer.

1. New mechanism found for memory storage in brain
   07-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Our experiences -- the things we see, hear, or do -- can trigger long-term changes in the strength of the connections between nerve cells in our brain, and these persistent changes are how the brain encodes information as memory. As reported in Neuron this week, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered a new biochemical mechanism for memory storage, one that may have a connection with addictive behavior.

3. Molecular 'foreman' discovered for brain wiring
   11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have identified a master regulatory molecule that is responsible for triggering the remodeling of neuronal connections that is critical for learning. Malfunctioning of the connection-remodeling machinery that they identified may also play a role in mental retardation, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Thus, said the researchers, knowledge of the machinery could lead to insights into those disorders. Peter Penzes and colleagues published their findings in the Nov. 21, 2007, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press.
