DARPA STUDIES. "For the first of those two projects, SUBNETS, researchers are trying to use neuroprosthetics and electric currents to cure PTSD, depression, and pain.” http://www.businessinsider.com/brain-implants-will-give-us-superpowers-2014-4 View in LinkedIn

BETTER FUNCTION. “In a small study that used internal electrodes and deep brain stimulation, people were able to learn and remember routes through a city better. They even demonstrated improved spatial ability, and were better at figuring out shortcuts that could help them along the way.” http://www.businessinsider.com/brain-implants-will-give-us-superpowers-2014-4 View in LinkedIn

GRADUAL UNFOLDING. “By 2003 a lab at Arizona State University had put a set of implants inside a monkey that allowed the animal to bring a piece of orange to its mouth with a mind-controlled robotic arm. Some years later researchers at Brown University reported that two paralyzed patients had learned to use implants to control robot arms with such precision that one could take a swig of coffee from a bottle.” http://www.wired.com/2016/01/phil-kennedy-mind-control-computer/ View in LinkedIn

HISTORIC MOMENT. “As Philip R. Kennedy, physician and inventor, prepares a paralyzed man to operate a computer with his thoughts,” the article began, “it briefly seems possible a historic scene is unfolding in this hospital room and that Kennedy might be a new Alexander Graham Bell.” (1999). http://www.wired.com/2016/01/phil-kennedy-mind-control-computer/ View in LinkedIn

RNA VARIABILITY. "Alternative splicing is one of the most important mechanisms to generate a large number of mRNA and protein isoforms from the surprisingly low number of human genes. Unlike promoter activity, which primarily regulates the amount of transcripts, alternative splicing changes the structure of transcripts and their encoded proteins." https://lnkd.in/dAwzAzi View in LinkedIn

VARIABLE RNA MESSAGE. "Changes in cutting and pasting alter the meaning of the document, often quite dramatically. Similarly, alternative splicing of RNA leads to a variety of possible mRNA isoforms and proteins, which can have different, and often opposing, functions." http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/regulation-of-mrna-splicing-by-signal-transduction-14128469 View in LinkedIn
