If you can tune in CBC Radio One:

 

This Week on Quirks & Quarks:

 

" I Feel Your Pain: The Science of Mirror Neurons. "

 

Fifteen years ago, scientists in Italy made a startling discovery,

while monitoring the brains of monkeys in a lab. When the monkeys

picked

up a peanut, a specific group of neurons in their brain lit up. But

when

the monkeys watched someone else picking up a peanut, the exact same

neurons were fired. They named these brain cells " mirror neurons " , and

their discovery has opened up whole new areas of brain research.

Scientists now believe that mirror neurons might help explain

everything

from autism to the acquisition of language and culture.

 

Plus - bugs raise a stink when they're hungry ....

 

All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon

news on Radio One.

says old news ,I always wonder what the hell that is. How can news be

old? But when it comes to spuds, I love new potatoes..best in the

world grown right here in Essex County, the Sunparlour of Canada. Now

old potatoes, well I don't know. They don't sound too appetizing. But

I'm hoping Quirks and Quarks is a tasty treat this weekend....It's

new news to me. But my post is post factum to you eh? As long as it

doesn't cause you a post factum depression. If it does take two old

otatoes and part'em down the middle.. where neither one is;

afterwards, you'll have post part'em potatoes just like new.....bob
