UI neuroscientist to study how brain weighs drug-use decisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do people choose to use drugs even when they’re fully aware of the negative consequences? A University of Iowa neuroscientist received funding to determine what happens in the brain when people make that decision. Ryan LaLumiere, professor and Ronnie Ketchel Faculty Fellow in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, will study the brain activity that occurs when an individual weighs the drug’s effects against the knowledge that using drugs could have negative consequences. He will
Photo gallery: UI students take part in high-profile physics experiment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About a dozen undergraduates and several graduate students are building and testing hundreds of electronic circuits and protective boxes that will be central to one of the most high-profile particle physics experiments of this century. Called the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), physicists from Iowa and around the world have teamed up to detect neutrinos, elusive particles that may explain what makes up the universe and all that’s in it, including us. Neutrinos are tiny particles tha
Researchers: Parents should combine words with gestures to help their children learn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As children return to school, new research from the University of Iowa shows how parents can help their kids learn while literally being on the same wavelength. In a new study, neuroscientists found that adults who use speech and hand gestures when interacting with their child achieve “neural synchrony,” where brain waves in the parent match their child’s. Ece Demir-Lira, associate professor in the UI Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the study’s corresponding author, says combi
UI chemists unlock new possibilities for rare-earth metal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The study shows it is possible to make terbium, a rare-earth metal used in electronics, medical imaging, and other technologies, easier and less expensive to separate and study. It also could open new areas of use, such as in quantum technologies, the unseen world of atoms and smaller constituents that could be a frontier for advances in computing. Terbium may not be a household name, but the silvery-gray rare-earth element plays a role in many technologies people use every day. It produces the
Study: Periodical cicadas may be doomed to extinction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Periodical cicadas are a biological marvel. Their mass emergences are among North America’s most spectacular natural events, providing sudden feasts for birds and other wildlife and sending pulses of nutrients through forest ecosystems. This study suggests that a species whose viability hinges on overwhelming numbers may be far more fragile than it appears if the old-growth forests upon which it depends continue to disappear. Every 13 or 17 years, swarms of cicadas emerge from the ground, their
