Palgrave: London. | link Introducing the Learning by Design Project Welcome to the Learning by Design Project website. This site is a resource for participants in the Learning by Design project, or for those who want to find out more about the project. But the story of Learning by Design really begins with a conceptualisation of The New School — a place where learners are actively engaged as knowledge producers and in which teachers have assumed a transformed professional role as designers of hybrid online and face-to-face learning environments. The next part of the website is practical and goes into more detail about how to implement Learning by Design. This project is supported by a grant to Common Ground Publishing by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S.

Learning at a snail’s pace to enhance memory. The stimulus timing pattern that maximized the peak level of memory in a snail consisted of non-uniformly spaced serotonin (5-HT) applications with interstimulus intervals of 10, 10, 5 and 30 min. "Inducer" is a variable representing the synergistic interaction between two proteins (PKA and ERK) associated with memory. (Credit: Yili Zhang, et al. /Nature Neuroscience) University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) neuroscientists used the sea snail known as Aplysia californica to test an innovative learning strategy designed to help improve the brain’s memory, with encouraging results.

The research could ultimately benefit people who have impairments resulting from aging, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or congenital cognitive impairments. Two groups of snails received five learning sessions. Five days after the learning sessions were completed, a significant increase in memory was detected in the group that was trained with a schedule predicted by a computer. How the Brain Cell Works: A Dive Into Its Inner Network | News Releases. UM-led team is creating the first map of protein interactions within neurons of live organisms. (December 21, 2011) — University of Miami (UM) biology professor Akira Chiba is leading a multidisciplinary team to develop the first systematic survey of protein interactions within brain cells. The team is aiming to reconstruct genome-wide in situ protein-protein interaction networks (isPIN) within the neurons of a multicellular organism.

Preliminary data were presented at the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting, December 3 through 7, 2011, in Denver, Colorado. “This work brings us closer to understanding the mechanics of molecules that keep us functioning,” says Chiba, principal investigator of this project. Neurons are the cells that are mainly responsible for signaling in the brain. Now, Chiba and his collaborators have developed a novel methodology to examine interaction of individual proteins in the fruit fly – the model organism of choice for this project.
