泰晤士(TIMES)四合院儿

This one-hour series explores topical scientific issues. Dr Michael Mosley and Professor Alice Roberts investigate if male and female brains really are wired differently.

New research suggests that the connections in men and women's brains follow different patterns, patterns which may explain typical forms of male and female behaviour. But are these patterns innate, or are they shaped by the world around us?

Using a team of human lab rats and a troop of barbary monkeys, Michael and Alice test the science and challenge old stereotypes. They ask whether this new scientific research will benefit both men and women - or whether it could drive the sexes even further apart.

Three win Nobel Prize in medicine for discovery of brain's 'inner GPS'

How do we know where we are? How can we find the way from one place to another? And how can we store this information in such a way that we can immediately find the way the next time we trace the same path? This year´s Nobel Laureates have discovered a positioning system, an “inner GPS” in the brain that makes it possible to orient ourselves in space, demonstrating a cellular basis for higher cognitive function。

我的一位香港学生朋友在 University College London 进修 Cell and Developmental Biology。平常和他见面聊天，都离不开人脑与发展的话题。John O'Keefe 获颁诺贝尔奨，消息传来，他马上在脸书疯传好消息，好像是他得奖似的。

能够与得奖教授在同一个学院研究学习，也难怪他会激动得这个样子，因为可能是人生只此一次的机会！

相信从此他研究人脑的兴趣一定会比以前更浓了。

可以想象那种情不自禁的喜悦心情。
第一次听 Nobel laureate 作报告时心情也特激动，而且很吃惊教授随意的着装；并且纳闷 怎么从外表上看不出来呢？ 现在回想起来真是很可笑。
