It has been known for a long time that UV rays damage DNA and can lead to skin cancer, including melanoma, premature aging and wrinkles. 120,000 new melanoma cases are diagnosed every year. A 2005 study showed that 92% of people knew the sun was dangerous but 62% of them still loved to tan. Over 30 million Americans visit tanning salons, as much as 1 million a day. 70% of them are women between the ages of 16 and 49.</p> <p>Tanning is dangerous because it <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/08/22/addicted-to-the-tan/">More ></a></p> </div> <div class="post-tags"> <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/addicted/" rel="tag" title="addicted (1 topics)">addicted</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/melanin/" rel="tag" title="melanin (1 topics)">melanin</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/melanocytes/" rel="tag" title="melanocytes (1 topics)">melanocytes</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/skin/" rel="tag" title="skin (2 topics)">skin</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/tan/" rel="tag" title="tan (1 topics)">tan</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/tanning/" rel="tag" title="tanning (1 topics)">tanning</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/ultra-violet/" rel="tag" title="ultra violet (1 topics)">ultra violet</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/uv/" rel="tag" title="UV (1 topics)">UV</a> </div> </div>   <div id="post-1604" class="hentry post post-5 odd author-aiello category-g2conline post_tag-brain post_tag-napping post_tag-sleep clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/08/08/the-dozing-brain/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nap-450x358-100x100.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="nap-450x358" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/08/08/the-dozing-brain/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: The Dozing Brain">The Dozing Brain</a></h2> <div class="post-date"> <p class="day">Aug 8th</p> </div> <div class="post-info clear-block with-thumbs"> <p class="author alignleft">Posted by <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/author/aiello/" title="Posts by Jennifer Aiello ">Jennifer Aiello</a> in <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/category/sitetopics/g2conline/">G2C Online</a> </p> <p class="comments alignright"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/08/08/the-dozing-brain/#comments" class="no comments">No comments</a></p> </div> <div class="post-content clear-block"> <p><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/nap-450x358.jpg"></a>Do you know people who swear that they can live on a few hours of sleep a night and be able to fully function the next day? Perhaps you’re one of these people. Well it seems that you really<em> can’t</em> “fully function” on less sleep.</p> <p>Researchers at the University of Wisconsin- Madison conducted tests with rats that were kept up past their normal bedtime. The rats were given objects to play with to keep them awake. During play, electrodes were implanted in their brains to measure brain activity.

Do you use the words um, uh, or like, a lot? Speech disfluencies are common in our every day speech and can have a variety of uses. They help us slow down what we’re trying to say. They help us repair mistakes. They also help stall time while trying to think of a new word. These words, even though commonly expressed in every day talk, it discouraged in the media. In formal settings, I’m constantly aware of my speech and try to consciously avoid using many disfluencies <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/04/18/its-like-okay-for-toddlers-to-hear-your-um-speech-stumbles/">More ></a></p> </div> <div class="post-tags"> <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/child/" rel="tag" title="child (1 topics)">child</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/children/" rel="tag" title="children (1 topics)">children</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/disfluencies/" rel="tag" title="disfluencies (1 topics)">disfluencies</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/hearing/" rel="tag" title="hearing (1 topics)">hearing</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/speech/" rel="tag" title="speech (1 topics)">speech</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/toddlers/" rel="tag" title="toddlers (1 topics)">toddlers</a> </div> </div>   <div id="post-1585" class="hentry post post-7 odd author-aiello category-g2conline post_tag-acetylcholine post_tag-alzheimers post_tag-brain post_tag-hippocampus post_tag-memory post_tag-neurons clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/03/10/a-step-towards-understanding-alzheimers/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/569px-Human_brain-100x100.png" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="569px-Human_brain" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/03/10/a-step-towards-understanding-alzheimers/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: A Step Towards Understanding Alzheimer’s">A Step Towards Understanding Alzheimer’s</a></h2> <div class="post-date"> <p class="day">Mar 10th</p> </div> <div class="post-info clear-block with-thumbs"> <p class="author alignleft">Posted by <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/author/aiello/" title="Posts by Jennifer Aiello ">Jennifer Aiello</a> in <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/category/sitetopics/g2conline/">G2C Online</a> </p> <p class="comments alignright"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/03/10/a-step-towards-understanding-alzheimers/#comments" class="no comments">No comments</a></p> </div> <div class="post-content clear-block"> <p><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/569px-Human_brain.png"></a>Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating disease where neurons in the brain die. These neurons are called basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and their job is to help the hippocampus retrieve memories in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease patients do not have the ability to retrieve memories. It’s not that those memories are lost, they just cannot be retrieved. In early Alzheimer’s, these special neurons die. Since there are so few to be found within the brain, their death can quickly become devastating.</p> <p>Northwestern Medicine researchers have made a major discovery that can aid in understanding and treating Alzheimer’s.

It has been discovered that the neurons of fetuses as young as 20 to 21 weeks old fire in patterns that can be seen into adulthood. This is a glimpse into young nerve cells and can serve a basis to understanding what happens when brain development goes wrong.</p> <p>The neurons fire pulses with periods of rest in between. This is commonly seen in sleeping adults. These pulses were seen between neurons located in the cerebral cortex.

Fear itself is a basic survival instinct. It’s a natural response to a specific stimulus used to recognize danger and initiate fight-or-flight responses. Many common fears include ghosts, cockroaches, spiders, snakes, heights, water, enclosed spaces, tunnels and bridges, needles, exams, clowns and public speaking. These fears can be innate (you don’t know why you’re afraid of certain things) or they can be acquired by a frightening traumatic accident. For many people, their fears do not affect their quality of life. For some, however, fear can mean something completely different.</p> <p>Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD is a severe <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2011/01/18/overcoming-fear/">More ></a></p> </div> </div>   <div id="post-1561" class="hentry post post-10 even alt author-aiello category-g2conline clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2010/12/15/sports-and-concussions/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/concussion-254x300-100x100.png" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="concussion-254x300" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2010/12/15/sports-and-concussions/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Sports and Concussions">Sports and Concussions</a></h2> <div class="post-date"> <p class="day">Dec 15th</p> </div> <div class="post-info clear-block with-thumbs"> <p class="author alignleft">Posted by <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/author/aiello/" title="Posts by Jennifer Aiello ">Jennifer Aiello</a> in <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/category/sitetopics/g2conline/">G2C Online</a> </p> <p class="comments alignright"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2010/12/15/sports-and-concussions/#comments" class="no comments">No comments</a></p> </div> <div class="post-content clear-block"> <p><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/concussion-254x300.png"></a>We have all heard of concussions, but it seems to be not until recently that concussions are finally taken seriously. Many of our popular sports contain some sort of contact. Football is a very popular sport with many times, full contact. What about other sports such as boxing or mixed martial arts where contact, especially head contact is deliberate? Or in NASCAR’s car accidents involving vehicles traveling close to 200mph? Athletes are putting their brains on the line for their sport.</p> <p>Over the past several years, many precautions were taken to prevent concussions and further damage to the brain following injury.
