New insights into membrane-assisted self-assembly

ScienceDaily (Oct. 24, 2012) ? How proteins and virus capsids -- complex protein structures that encase the genetic material of viruses -- form structures near to a fluctuating membrane is simulated by physicist Richard Matthews with advanced computational techniques.

Matthews performs research as a Lise-Meitner-Fellow in the Computational Physics Group of the University of Vienna under the direction of Christos Likos, professor for Multiscale Computational Physics. The results are relevant to the understanding of biophysical processes and appear in the current issue of Physical Review Letters.

"In our current paper we present new computational results that explore how membranes may influence crucial biological processes," explains Richard Matthews, Lise-Meitner-Fellow at the University of Vienna and first author of the study. The focus of the investigation is the self-assembly of microscopic particles, the formation of structures or patterns without human intervention. More specifically, the effect of the interactions between membranes and proteins, which can influence the formation of ordered structures in cells, is considered.

Self-assembly has become a hot topic in recent years. Many of the most astonishing examples are found in nature, from tiny motors (e.g. the flagellum motor) to virus capsids with perfect spherical forms. Many researchers have also tried to improve our understanding by representing the assembly of such structures with models. In order to gain clear insight it is preferable that these models are as simple as possible. This approach has been very successful in reproducing key features of experiments, whilst also uncovering new aspects. In reality, these processes do not occur in isolation and, in fact, many happen on, or in the vicinity of, membranes, a fact that has been previously neglected in the construction of simple models.

Advanced Simulation Techniques

The research aims to find out the general properties of these fascinating systems by applying state of the art simulation techniques. This requires everything to be calculated on a computer. Due to the complexity of the task, high performance computers are necessary. "In our work we have applied advanced simulation techniques, which allowed us to see how interactions with a membrane influence self-assembly," explains Richard Matthews. "We determined that membranes promote self-assembly and also find that our model reproduces structures that are very similar to those seen in nature."

U.S. consumer agency to supervise debt collectors

(Reuters) - The U.S. consumer agency will begin closely supervising about 175 debt collectors for the first time starting in January, widening the new watchdog's oversight of consumer lending.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) said on Wednesday it had finalized plans to oversee larger firms in the industry to make sure debt collectors treat Americans fairly.

The agency said it will determine whether debt collectors properly disclose the amount owed, maintain accurate data about consumer debt, and address consumer complaints quickly.

"We want all companies to realize that the better business choice is to follow the law ? not break it," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement.

The 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law created the bureau and directed it to oversee consumer financial products such as mortgages, student loans and credit cards.

It also allowed the CFPB to extend its oversight to larger non-bank companies participating in consumer financial markets.

The CFPB will supervise firms with more than $10 million in annual receipts from consumer debt collection. About 30 million Americans have outstanding debt that is subject to collection, the agency estimates.

Firms involved in debt collection try to get money from delinquent borrowers for a fee, buy up debt from lenders and recover what is owed, or collect money through litigation.

Encore Capital Group Inc and Asset Acceptance Capital Corp are among the biggest companies in the industry.

Debt collectors sometimes pass on consumers' collection status to credit agencies, which issue the credit reports that banks and other lenders use to determine whether to lend money and what interest rates to charge, the CFPB said.

"If they get the information wrong, this can be the difference between getting approved or denied for such financial products as a mortgage or a car loan," the agency said.

The CFPB in September began supervising credit reporting agencies that take in more than $7 million each year, including Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

Cordray has said those industries were chosen partly due to the role they are playing in consumers' lives after the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

When the bureau begins overseeing debt collectors, it will be able to keep an eye on every stage of the lending process, the CFPB said.

The CFPB said on Wednesday it also released the field guide that examiners will use to supervise debt collectors.

New super-camera turned on enigmatic ancient writing

Joanne Carver, reporter

High-definition imaging still has a cutting-edge ring to it, but it could bring us the solution to a mystery that's been puzzling scholars for nearly as long as scholars have existed. With the newly developed Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) system, we can examine ancient artefacts better than ever before - which means there's a chance at deciphering at last an engimatic script from 5000 years ago.

Proto-Elamite is the world's oldest undeciphered script, used between 3200 and 3000 BC in what is now Iran. Although it has some similarities with Mesopotamian, 80 to 90 per cent of it isn't understood.

"I have spent the past 10 years trying to decipher the proto-Elamite writing system and, with this new technology, I think we are finally on the point of making a breathrough," said Jacob Dahl of the University of Oxford, a co-leader of the Cuneiform Digital Library.

2nd_IMG_1375.jpg

The RTI, developed by researchers at the University of Oxford and the University of Southampton, UK, is essentially a dome with 76 lights and a camera at the top (see above). After placing a manuscript or artefact in the centre, the object is photographed 76 times, each time with just one of the lights on. Afterward, the images are merged and uploaded to the Cuneiform Digital Library website for free access. The finished image allows observers to virtually move light across the object and better see the subtle differences hidden by shadow or light in ordinary photographs.

"The quality of the images captured is incredible," Dali said. "And it is important to remember that you cannot decipher a writing system without having reliable images because you will, for example, overlook differences barely visible to the naked eye which may have meaning."/p>

The Louvre museum in Paris, France, has allowed the RTI team access to its 1100 proto-Elamite tablets. More scholars will now be able to access and study them, and the hope is that they will crack the code. Then, we'll all be forced to admit that high definition has advanced the human race.

Sudan rebels kill two in shelling: army

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudanese rebels killed two children and wounded eight other civilians when they shelled the main town in Sudan's oil-producing South Kordofan state on Tuesday, the army said - the third bout of shelling in the past two weeks.

Sudan's army has been fighting SPLM-North rebels in the state, which borders South Sudan, since June last year, shortly before South Sudan seceded. But the South Kordofan capital Kadugli was until recently kept out of the fighting.

Army spokesman al-Sawarmi Khalid told Reuters the rebels had shelled an army garrison outside Kadugli but that some shells had landed inside the town.

He said the attack led to the killing of two children, while eight other civilians were wounded, adding that the army had launched an operation a few days ago to "cleanse" the area around Kadugli of rebels.

SPLM-North spokesman Arnu Lodi said the rebels had shelled army positions inside Kadugli after coming under government artillery fire.

"The government and our troops have been shelling each other since this morning," Lodi said. "They have been shelling our forces based outside Kadugli from inside the town and we are shooting back in self-defense."

A resident who declined to be named said several shells had landed in the center of the city. "People are frightened," he said.

Events in Sudan's border states are hard to verify as the government bans foreign media from travelling there.

The rebels first shelled Kadugli on October 8. At least one rocket hit a U.N. compound, prompting the United Nations to move its staff out of the town.

Khartoum accuses South Sudan of backing the rebels of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, who fought as part of the southern rebel army during Sudan's civil war, which ended in 2005. South Sudan denies the accusation.

Fighting in South Kordofan and nearby Blue Nile state has displaced or severely affected 900,000 people, the United Nations said on Friday. Sudan agreed in August to let aid into rebel-held areas but the United Nations has been unable to win government approval to go ahead with distributing food.

Under international pressure, Sudan and South Sudan agreed last month to establish a buffer zone along their border after clashing along it several times in the past year. Indirect talks between Khartoum and the rebels, however, have made scant progress.

The SPLM-North last year formed an alliance with rebels in the western region of Darfur with the aim of toppling Sudan's veteran president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, but it is unclear how closely the groups coordinate.

(AP) ? While Robert Griffin III is quickly becoming the NFL's most exciting quarterback, there's none better than Eli Manning with the game on the line.

Manning one-upped the Washington Redskins' rookie sensation with a pinpoint 77-yard scoring pass to Victor Cruz with 1:13 to play and the New York Giants overcame a late touchdown toss by Griffin to defeat the Washington Redskins 27-23 on Sunday.

"With our offense and Eli at the helm, we're never too worried," Cruz said. "No matter what situation we're in, no matter how many points we need or a field goal we need, we have the confidence we can do it. We have a lot of confidence in each other, and in Eli."

The winning drive was the 22nd of Manning's career in either the fourth quarter or overtime, his second this season and eighth over the past two seasons. This pass might have been one of the most improbable.

It came two plays and 19 seconds after Griffin capped what was a potential winning, 77-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown toss to Santana Moss. The rookie had kept the drive alive with a 19-yard pass off a desperate scramble on a fourth-and-10 play deep in his own territory, and a 24-yard run on the next play.

"He has done it so many times," veteran Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty said of the two-time Super Bowl MVP. "He has really bridged his performance in the 2011 season to the 2012 season. It's just more of the same. He continues to get better. He is probably the most deadly quarterback in the fourth quarter."

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan agreed even though he was miffed that defensive backs Josh Wilson and Madieu Williams allowed Cruz to blow by them on the seam pattern.

"He sure proved it today," Shanahan said after his team (3-4) blew a chance to move into a tie for first place in the NFC East. "It was a great throw. He was double- covered but (Manning) put it right on the money."

Manning, who finished 26 of 40 for 337 yards, had to make the throw a little sooner than he wanted.

"I kind of threw it high and deep and saw the coverage and was hoping Victor saw it the same way I did," he said. "I didn't see the ball get caught. I heard the cheer and that was a good sign. I got up in time to see him run into the end zone."

Manning triumphantly pumped his fist once after the play as the more than 80,000 fans at MetLife Stadium erupted with cheers.

"He did a good job leading his team to victory today," said Griffin, who ran for 89 yards and passed for 258 and two touchdowns. "When the game is on the line, you want the ball in your hand, no doubt about it. He made the play to win it."

Griffin had Washington moving when Moss was tackled by Chase Blackburn after an 11-yard reception and rookie Jayron Hosley recovered at the Washington 43.

"There's no excuse for them, but with all that stuff, we had a chance to win at the end," Griffin said.

The wild finish capped a game in which both quarterbacks also made major mistakes.

Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown scored on 1-yard runs and Lawrence Tynes kicked a pair of field goals for the Giants, who won despite giving up 480 yards in total offense.

Griffin was 20 of 28 with Moss catching both his TD passes. Fellow rookie Alfred Morris gained 120 yards rushing.

The Giants had 396 yards in total offense, with the biggest chunk coming on Manning's pass to Mr. Salsa.

Before the wild finish, the second half was dominated by turnovers.

Griffin was picked off by safety Stevie Brown and his 41-yard return late in the third quarter set up Bradshaw's 1-yard plow-job into the end zone, a play which was reviewed.

Griffin moved Washington into position to tie the game on the next possession, but he fumbled after being sacked by Jason Pierre-Paul and Linval Joseph recovered the ensuring fumble at the Giants 29.

On the next play from scrimmage, linebacker Rob Jackson intercepted a quick out by Manning and Forbath kicked a 45-yard field goal to narrow the lead to 20-16 with 5:21 to go.

The Giants were forced to punt on their next series and Washington got the ball back at its 23. After gaining nothing in three plays, Griffin went back to pass on fourth down, eluded Pierre-Paul and then danced around long enough to find tight end Logan Paulsen for a 19-yard gain and a first down at the 42. The 24-yard scamper got the ball to the New York 34 and two plays later Moss beat Hosley and hauled in Griffin's perfect pass as Griffin lay on his back and celebrated like a snow angel.

"He's tough," Blackburn said of Griffin. We played well for three downs got them into a fourth and 10, and had him. JPP had him dead to rights. Any other quarterback and he makes that sack."

Manning and Cruz spoiled the afternoon seconds later.

There were seven offensive possessions in the first half that resulted in 439 total yards, six scores and a 13-13 tie.

NOTES: Washington TE Fred Davis suffered an Achilles tendon injury and will miss the rest of the season. ...Redskins LB London Fletcher, who has played in 231 straight games, suffered a leg-hamstring injury in the second half. ...The Redskins gained a season-high 248 yards rushing. ... Bradshaw gained 43 yards rushing after collecting 316 in the past two games. ...Cruz led the Giants with seven catches for 131 yards. ...New York had three sacks, and allowed its first in four games.

Superbad: 19 Ways to Fix a Stale Relationship | Greatist

Fighting all the time? Bored as hell (even with the sex)? Yup, we?ve been there. Relationship ruts are normal, and they can also be frustrating, isolating, and simply no fun. That?s why we?ve gathered together a big ?ol list of ways to bring the spark back to a fizzling relationship.

Sliding Into a Ditch ? The Need-to-Know

According to studies, couples? long-term satisfaction with each other and their relationship depends on a few key factors: thinking positively about each other, thinking about each other when they?re apart, acting affectionately toward each other, sharing new and challenging activities, and generally being happy in both their individual and shared lives. Oh, and having sex. Sounds great to us ? but the truth is virtually no relationship elicits feelings of pure bliss all the time.

It?s normal for people in long-term relationships to go through periods of lesser and greater intimacy; in fact, a decline in love and satisfaction after the doe-eyed period of a relationship is one of the most well-documented findings in Western marriage. Unfortunately, there?s no official definition or time frame for these relationship lulls, since they take different forms in different relationships. But general signs of being in a rut include fighting a lot, being bored, and lack of sexual interest or activity.

Kickin? a Rut in the Butt ? Your Action Plan

The good news is this: Since relationship ruts are a common phenomenon, people have put a lot of effort into finding ways to haul ourselves up out of them. Before trying to rejuvenate a relationship, remember there?s nothing wrong with losing a little passion now and again; it?s normal. The important thing is putting in the effort to sustain the relationship (provided a person wants to, of course) even during those periods of ?lesser intimacy.? On that note, Greatist presents a whole bunch of ways to bring a relationship back to peak satisfaction.

The Boredom Rut:
  • Try (exciting!) new activities. Doing things together is obviously key to maintaining a relationship ? but doing the same things all the time can lead to boredom, which is linked to decreased relationship quality. Stave off the blahs by trying new and exhilarating activities together (sky diving, taking a weekend trip, riding roller coasters, a couples? massage) ? doing so can enhance relationship satisfaction. And don?t be afraid to get goofy! Cook dinner naked, play ?the floor is lava,? practice your hide-and-go-seeking skills ? playing together can boost relationship happiness. Still at a loss for ideas? Try reflecting on exciting things you did together in the beginning of the relationship, and recreate those experiences.
  • Create a ?Couple?s Bucket List.? Work together to create a list of things you want to do together as a couple, without the ?excitement? requirement (cook dinner together once a week, go to a caf? or bookstore, grab produce at a farmer?s market). Then choose three items from the list and tackle them over the next three months. Check out websites like HowAboutWe and HotDateIdeas to help take the guesswork out of date-planning.
  • Kick screens out of the bedroom. Ditch the TV, laptops, tablets, and phones and pay attention to each other instead.
  • Make mini-dates. Too busy for a weekly date night? Try eating breakfast together, meeting for lunch, or designating 20 minutes every evening for talking with each other ? no distractions allowed.
The Fighting Rut:
  • Communicate about each other?s needs. Bottling it up can decrease personal emotional well-being and relationship satisfaction. Plus, when needs aren?t met in a relationship, the chances of infidelity and decreased satisfaction go up[][]. Open the bottle by sharing with your partner what you need from a relationship, whether it?s emotional support or splitting the grocery bill.
  • Name what you like about each other. Express appreciation through positive feedback (not just negative, which we?re prone to focus on in a ?fighting stage?) ? doing so can help both partners feel more attractive and confident. Challenge yourself to sit down and make a list of things you like about your partner, and then share them.
  • Work out together. Not only does a duel sweat-blasting session increase work out motivation, it can also improve couples? communication. Get started with these kick-ass partner exercises.
  • Talk through problems with people outside the relationship. It?s easy for couples to get stuck in the same old fight patterns behind closed blinds. We can benefit from hearing how other people deal with similar situations, because it can give us ideas for changing our own approach ? which will hopefully change the outcome of the conflict.
  • If you live together, share household chores evenly. Unequal distribution of chores is closely tied to rankled emotions. Bonus: Studies find that husbands and wives who do housework together have more sex.
  • Bounce back post-conflicts. Handling disagreements well ? by, for example, practicing forgiveness and not judging each other ? predicts more positive relationship emotions and satisfaction[]. It can help to remember that it?s less important to solve the conflict than it is to treat each other well even if there?s no solution to be found.
The Sexless Rut:
  • Take it online. Online sexual activity (like watching porn or having cyber-sex) alone and with a partner can increase both intimacy and the quality and frequency of physical sex[]. To keep things positive, seek out female-friendly porn or videos designed for couples.
  • Create a ?fantasy jar.? Write out as many fantasies as you can think of, each on a separate piece of paper; and have your partner do the same. Stick ?em all in a jar, then take turns picking out of the jar and acting out the fantasies.
  • Put sex on the schedule. Toss out the idea that spontaneous sex is the only way to have good sex. When we?re crazy busy, sex can be one of the first things to go by the wayside. But sex (especially simultaneous orgasms!) is also key to maintaining intimacy and relationship satisfaction ? so come up with a schedule for doing it, and stick to it[][].
  • Sext while you?re apart. It?ll build anticipation for fun times later in the day. Don?t want to use your work phone? Create ?For Your Eyes Only? email accounts to communicate saucy messages while you?re away.
  • Shake things up. If you?re used to long, slow sessions like the ones Sting has (not really) had, change up routines by having the occasional quickie or getting jiggy with it in unusual places.
  • Don?t forget non-sexual touch. Hugs, massages, an arm slipped around a waist ? these small actions can all boost feelings of affection.
The General Rut:
  • Don?t be embarrassed to seek external support. It?s probably not a great idea to propose couples therapy six weeks into a relationship. But for people in it for the long term, therapy is a reasonable (and sometimes necessary) choice.
  • Remember not all relationships are worth saving. Yes, relationships go through phases of lesser and greater closeness, but sometimes people just aren?t compatible. And emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse is never okay. ?Not sure if you should stick around? The best bet is to see a personal or couples therapist for their take on the relationship.
  • Work on yourself first. Relationship satisfaction is tied to personal life satisfaction, so the happier a person is in general, the happier they?re likely to be with a given relationship[]. Don?t rely on a partner to make your life great; work to make a great life regardless of whom you?re dating.

Shooting at spa in Wisconsin: 4 dead, including gunman, police say

A tactical unit responds to the shooting in Brookfield, Wis. (AP)

A shooting at a spa near a Brookfield, Wis., mall on Sunday left four dead--including the shooter--and four others wounded, police said. The suspected gunman, 45-year-old Radcliffe Haughton, of Brown Deer, Wis., was later found dead inside.

The shooting occurred at the Azana Spa across the street from the Brookfield Square Mall at approximately 11:15 a.m. local time, police said. Inside the spa, police found what appeared to be an improvised explosive device (IED), and a bomb squad was called in as officials worked to clear the two-story building.

"Our entire operation is focused on locating the suspect," Brookfield Police Chief Daniel Tushaus said at a press conference earlier Sunday.

Haughton (Waukesha County Sheriff's Dept.)

A spokeswoman for Froedtert Memorial Hospital told the Associated Press that said four shooting victims were being treated for non-life threatening injuries at the hospital.

Authorities did not immediately release a motive. But according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a restraining order requested by Haughton's wife was issued against him on Thursday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. And according to WISN-TV, she worked at the spa.

Online court records showed that Haughton "was not allowed to have firearms and was directed to deliver firearms to the sheriff," the Journal Sentinel said. "The order does not indicate if that happened."

Following the shooting, the mall and a nearby country club were placed on lockdown. SWAT, FBI, fire and rescue officials responded to the shooting, and a Flight for Life helicopter landed in the mall's parking lot. Police and tactical units conducted a sweep of surrounding businesses.

A representative from the Department of Homeland Security arrived on the scene to offer investigative assistance, while police and FBI--assisted by a bomb squad--conducted a search of Haughton's home.

Earlier, a reporter from the Journal Sentinal spoke to the suspect's father, Radcliffe Haughton Sr., who said he told his son last week, "Don't do anything stupid."

Meanwhile, employees at the spa were asked to not speak to the media. "It is so important that things get figured out and settled first," a post on Azana Spa's Facebook page read. "Please continue to pray for all of those involved."

The suspect did not appear to have a presence on Facebook, but a Google Plus page for a Radcliffe Haughton includes a photo of a man who looks like Haughton displaying what appears to be a gun. A LinkedIn page lists Haughton as the owner of "Haughton International Corporation."

Rep. Paul Ryan, campaigning as the Republican vice presidential nominee in Iowa on Sunday, said he was "shocked and saddened" by the news out of his home state.

"As our community continues to heal from August's tragic violence, our thoughts and prayers are with today's victims and their loved ones," Ryan said in a statement. "Our gratitude also goes to the first responders who rushed to save lives and secure the scene. We will not allow the evil responsible for this heartbreaking event to triumph over the spirit of the people of Wisconsin. I ask all Americans to keep those affected by this event in their hearts, minds, and prayers today."

Sunday's shooting comes less than three months after Wade Michael Page, an Army veteran with white supremacist ties, opened fire at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., killing six and injuring three others before shooting himself.

And the spa is less than a mile from a hotel where a gunman opened fire during a Living Church of God service in 2005. Seven people were killed and four wounded in that shooting.

Tips To Improve Your Video Game Skills | Marijuana for MRSA

Read reviews of games before you purchase them. You may be waiting for the new shooter game to come out, but if you buy it without reading reviews, it will be a huge waste of time. Check out at least three to five reviews before putting your money down on a game you won?t like.

As a parent of video-game-playing children, you likely have some anxieties about just what they?re exposed to when they play. The best way to learn more is to make video gaming into a family activity. Ask your kids to show you their games and how they play them, and make an effort to join in. You?ll have a much better understanding of their games and even perhaps do a little bonding in the process.

This is no joke ? work your hands out! Stress balls make an excellent device for working out the muscles of the hand between gaming sessions. This ensures you don?t develop cramping or other gaming-related hand disorders which could cut your gaming career short. Keep exercising that hand to keep it limber and nimble!

When playing some of the longer games on your console system, make sure to take a break and get away from the screen. Go outside for a few minutes and let your eyes adjust. Stretch your legs. You will start to notice how much better you play the games when you take these short breaks.

Monitor your child?s game playing. Many games are now played online where your child can interact with anyone who is playing the game online. Ask your child about his game playing and who he is talking to. You can also look into your child?s gaming system and set parental controls that allow you control over what your child is doing during his game play.

Modern video games are not without their dangers, and playing them obsessively might be the one to worry about most. If you know that a friend or family member is a gamer, be on the lookout for signs that they?re spending an immoderate amount of time playing. If they?re having trouble meeting their obligations at school, work, or in their social circle, it may be time to confront them about how they manage their gaming time.

Use video games to help your brain! As people age, their brains age, too and don?t work as well as they did when they were younger. There are many video games that help your brain get some well needed activity. By playing this games, it is shown that your brain age can be younger than your actual age.

It is important for you to remember that any game you play can become obsolete. If you spend too much time playing a certain game, think ahead to your future! Servers may shut down, your characters will cease to exist and your time will have been wasted. Spend a healthy amount of time playing any single game and leave room for your life too.

Try a game before you buy it. Video games are not cheap. Trying out the game before making the purchase helps you make a wide decision. Sometimes you can watch games played online. You can also rent many games. Or maybe you can play a friend?s game or play it at the video game store.

Play your video games on a great television or computer monitor. The graphics in the game are only as good as the equipment you use. Make sure that your tv screen or computer monitor displays colors well, has a great deal of definition and delivers great sound. That way you can get the most from your games.

There are many games that can be highly addictive, such as fighting games or sports games. This is something that could cause a problem down the road, as you will want to have control over your life and not let your games control you. Be aware of these addictive games and try not to fall into the trap of playing them for the majority of the day.

If you?re a parent and you want to know more about what your kids are playing on their game systems, simply find out the titles. When you go online, you can find out the rating, some reviews, and some walkthroughs. These things will help you to know what your kids are getting into at every level.

Be sure to research any games that you wish to buy before you buy them. Make sure you are getting the version of the game that works on your particular system since many are made for multiple systems. Also, be on the lookout for limited and special additions of your chosen title since these can be more expensive than the regular versions.

It doesn?t matter if you turn your game on for fun, learning or training, one thing is certain: it can really make considerable improvements in just about anything you do. Whether you are trying to be a better student, soldier, chef or business owner, there isn?t anything games can?t teach! Hopefully this article helps you reach new heights in your play.

How the brain forms categories

ScienceDaily (Oct. 19, 2012) ? How do we manage to recognize a friend's face, regardless of the light conditions, the person's hairstyle or make-up? Why do we always hear the same words, whether they are spoken by a man or woman, in a loud or soft voice? It is due to the amazing skill of our brain to turn a wealth of sensory information into a number of defined categories and objects. The ability to create constants in a changing world feels natural and effortless to a human, but it is extremely difficult to train a computer to perform the task.

At the IMP in Vienna, neurobiologist Simon Rumpel and his post-doc Brice Bathellier have been able to show that certain properties of neuronal networks in the brain are responsible for the formation of categories. In experiments with mice, the researchers produced an array of sounds and monitored the activity of nerve cell-clusters in the auditory cortex. They found that groups of 50 to 100 neurons displayed only a limited number of different activity-patterns in response to the different sounds.

The scientists then selected two basis sounds that produced different response patterns and constructed linear mixtures from them. When the mixture ratio was varied continuously, the answer was not a continuous change in the activity patters of the nerve cells, but rather an abrupt transition. Such dynamic behavior is reminiscent of the behavior of artificial attractor-networks that have been suggested by computer scientists as a solution to the categorization problem.

The findings in the activity patters of neurons were backed up by behavioral experiments with mice. The animals were trained to discriminate between two sounds. They were then exposed to a third sound and their reaction was tracked. Whether the answer to the third tone was more like the reaction to the first or the second one, was used as an indicator of the similarity of perception. By looking at the activity patters in the auditory cortex, the scientists were able to predict the reaction of the mice.

The new findings that are published in the current issue of the journal Neuron, demonstrate that discrete network states provide a substrate for category formation in brain circuits. The authors suggest that the hierarchical structure of discrete representations might be essential for elaborate cognitive functions such as language processing.
