Immerse Yourself in the Mysterious Worlds of InnerSpace

One of the great things about video games is that they can transport you to a whole different world.  InnerSpace is a Kickstarter-funded game takes you into the world of the Ancients, a mysterious people who exist behind a locked door that no one has ever entered.

This exploration flying game is the first from PolyKnight Games, and you’ll soon fall deep into the character-driven narratives as you encounter demigods who carry big secrets, lost technologies that can take your character to new heights, and ancient literature that can unlock mysteries of the past.

Video of protein movement within a neuron shows how our brains renew themselves

A rare look at protein movement within a neuron shows how our brains renew themselves

If, like us, you spend most of your time wondering exactly what's going on in other people's heads, then this video is for you. Okay, so it might not reveal the reason why that jerk cut you off at the junction, or why that co-worder didn't show up to your date exactly, rather, it's a little more literal than that. This is video footage of proteins moving within a single neuron. The USC researchers were able to capture this video by using bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish to visually track their movement. Not only is this mind-boggling to the layperson (just think how small these things are) it's also mind-revealing. By that, we mean it gives scientists an opportunity to observe how these tiny, yet vital, cerebral elements restore themselves. Which, when you're constantly worried about the amount of grey matter you were blessed with in the first place, can only be a good thing.
