Scientists are hoping to gain new insights into the mysteries of ageing by sequencing the genome of a 17-year-old girl who has the body and behaviour of a tiny toddler.
Brooke Greenberg is old enough to drive a car and next year will be old enough to vote — but at 16lb in weight and just 30in tall, she is still the size of a one-year-old.....

“There can be up to 26 dimensions, but they are sort of folded, so we cannot see them. We have not managed to find them through experiments either,” explained Aleksey Basilevich, Doctor of Physics.
If the fourth and other dimensions exist, where do they lead? They lead to the place that we normally call the parallel world. It is easy to imagine......

London, Oct 5 (ANI): A 7-year-old blind boy has been given the nickname Batboy, for he has learnt how to “see” by using his ears.
Lucas Murray, who was born blind, is believed to be the first in Britain to use echoes to visualise his surroundings.
He clicks his tongue on the roof of his mouth, and discovers where objects are based on how the sound bounces back...... |
Molecular basis for learning
European scientists have
proved there is a shared molecular basis for mice's
ability to
learn, form memories and recall them.
A cellular molecule in the brain's hippocampus is
responsible, according to a group led by Liliana
Minichiello at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory
in Monterotondo, Italy, together with Agnès Gruart from
the Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Spain.
"Obviously, mental illnesses can better be cured when you
know what molecules are involved. Right now, these drugs
in existence, they do something, but very little. And I
think that is because of a lack of knowledge about the
molecular mechanism. It is not the first target to make a
drug, but (our discovery) definitely will aid the people
that do that work," said Minichiello.
