The Marshmallow Test: Psychological Experiments in Self-Control September 14, 2009, 3:30 pm 75 Comments In this reprise of a now-classic Stanford psychological experiment from the 1960s, kids are put in a room with a marshmallow and told they can either eat it immediately or wait until the researcher gets back, and they'll be given a second marshmallow. Hilarity ensues as the kids suffer marshmallow temptation!

Ego death is an experience [ dubious ] that is said to reveal the illusory aspect of the ego , sometimes undergone by mystics , shamans , monks , psychonauts and others interested in exploring the depths of the mind . The practice of ego death as a deliberately sought " mystical experience " in some ways is said to overlap with, but is nevertheless distinct from, traditional teachings concerning enlightenment /" Nirvana " (in Buddhism ) or " Moksha " (in Hinduism and Jainism ), which might perhaps be better understood as transcendence of the notion that one even has any actual, non-illusory " ego " with which to experience "death" in the first place.

To trace the longer pathways that interconnect different brain regions, CBS labs developed a genetic method to label each individual nerve cell a different color to identify and track axons and dendrites over long distances. With light microscopy, scientists image the branching patterns and connections of all the axons within a region of the nervous system in transgenic mice that express a number of different fluorescent proteins in individual neurons. The idea here is to color-code the individual “wires” and “nodes.” The images below give an indication of the power of this approach. See
