21、xt 1/BA UCSF study has revealed new information about how the brain directs the body to make movements. The key factor is “noise“ in the brains signaling, and it helps explain why all movement is not carried out with the same level of precision.Understanding where noise arises in the brain has impli

22、cations for advancing research in neuromotor control and in developing therapies for disorders where control is impaired, such as Parkinsons disease.The new study was developed “to understand the brain machinery behind such common movements as typing, walking through a doorway or just pointing at an

23、 object,“ says Stephen Lisberger, PhD, senior study investigator who is director of the W.M. Keck Center for Integrative Neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco. Study co-investigators are Leslie C. Osborne, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at UCSF, and William Bialek, PhD, professor o

24、f physics at Princeton University.The study findings, reported in the September 15 issue of the journal Nature; are part of ongoing research by Lisberger and colleagues on the neural mechanisms that allow the brain to learn and maintain skills and behavior. These basic functions are carried out thro

25、ugh the coordination of different nerve cells within the brains neural circuits. “To make a movement, the brain takes the electrical activity of many neurons and combines them to make muscle contractions,“ Lisberger explains. “But the movements arent always perfect. So we asked, what gets in the way

26、?“ The answer, he says, is “noise“, which is defined as the difference between what is actually occurring and what the brain perceives. He offers making a foul shot in basketball as an example. If there were no noise in the neuromotor system, a player would be able to perform the same motion over an

27、d over and never miss a shot.“Understanding how noise is reduced to very precise commands helps us understand how those commands are created,“ says Lisberger, who also is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a UCSF professor of physiology.In the study, the research team focused on a mo

28、vement that all primates are very skilled at: an eye movement known as “smooth pursuit“ that allows the eyes to track a moving target. In a series of exercises with monkeys in which the animals would track visual targets, the researchers measured neural activity and smooth pursuit eye movements. Fro

29、m this data, the team analyzed the difference between how accurately the animals actually tracked a moving object and how accurately the brain perceived the trajectory. Findings showed that both the smooth pursuit system and the brains perceptual system were nearly equal.“This teaches us that these

30、very different neural processes are limited to the same degree by the same noise sources,“ says Lisberger. “And it shows that both processes are very good at reducing noise.“ He concludes, “Because the brain is noisy, our motor systems dont always do what it tells us to. Making precise movements in

44、Heathrow broke down 11 times.The British government, spurred on by angry airlines, passenger groups and an increasingly vocal media, has announced an enquiry into how the airport is run. Heathrow, like seven other major airports in the UK, is run by the British Airports Authority (BAA), who has been

45、 accused of putting the profits from the vast shopping malls in each terminal before investment in security and staff. Ryanair, British Airways and the head of the International Air Transport Association have all criticized the running of the airport, blaming under-investment.A spokesman for Heathro

46、w notes that all may not be lost quite yet. Ninety-seven per cent of passengers get through security after less than 10 minutes of queuing. The baggage rules for using UK airports have been the same for a while now, so travelers should be getting used to the plastic bags and one item of hand-luggage

47、 rule. And BAA is recommending that people dont turn up earlier than they should-three hours for long-haul, two for short haul and 90 minutes for domestic should be fine. Heathrow has also employed 500 new security staff and opened nine new security lanes this year.And then theres Terminal Five, the gleaming, light-filled Richard Rodgers creation, complete with a landscaped civic space, due to open
