Very interesting podcast. Lots of encouraging news. Last I heard was talking about new stem cell research to fix nerves in back bone transmitting signals to other body part. Also, bilingualism or multilingual effect on brain, particularly on alzeimer's desease. One theory which is yet to be validated is if some one knows five different languages then may be that person will never have Alzeimer's. Yet to be validated :-)
Another very interesting details about experiment where they are able to shut down parts of brain such as hearing for deaf people and their visual and other sensors goes down or let us say it comes back to normal. Normally, there other sensory organs or skills are better than normal human beings.
They also covered about Google prize of 30 mill usd for first rover on moon which can walk half a kilometer and can take and transmit back hd video and photos back to earth.
What else. Very interesting podcast. Usually with lots of good news on science which will cheer you up.
Cheers!!!
