Overall Winner - Intracranial recording for epilepsyThis photograph shows the surface (cortex) of a human brain belonging to an epileptic patient, displaying the arteries and veins that supply its nutrients and oxygen. This photograph was taken before an intracranial electrode recording procedure, in which a flexible electrode grid is attached to the surface of the brain. The patient is then taken to the telemetry ward, where they are observed and recorded for a period of up to two weeks. Post-observation, the surgeon reviews the recordings and evaluates the data using the unique numbers on the grid implant to identify the specific areas of the brain that need to be removed during the next operation. This patient made a full recovery and no longer suffers from epileptic fits. Credit: Robert Ludlow, UCL Institute of Neurology, London / Wellcome Images

Science :): New Mutations Discovered Driving Malignant Melanoma →
The researchers said these cancer-associated mutations are the first to be discovered in the vast regions of DNA in cancer cells that do not contain genetic instructions for making proteins. The mutations are located in non-protein-coding DNA that regulates the activity of genes.
This non-coding…

the 5 stages of tumblr
stage 1: you will understand nothing, "wtf is this" will be a reoccurring thought
stage 2: once you kind of get the hang of it, you will be on constantly and obsess over followers, even though your blog is probably still shit
stage three: probably the shortest of all the stages, you will get bored of tumblr for a while and go out in the "real world".
stage four: you realize how addicting tumblr really is and how foolish you were to believe you could just leave
stage five: tumblr becomes your life support. this stage never ends.
