Here are my Research Blogging Editor's Selections for this week:
- Sleep is really important for health and cognition among other things. But what about for memory? An interesting discussion at Psychothalamus about the relationship between sleep and remembering to remember.
- A fascinating post at Wiring the Brain begins with pain sensitivity in fruit flies and ends with synaesthetic mice! It's a bit of a wild ride, but well worth the read.
- Finally, at the Neuroskeptic blog, enjoy a post entertaining the speculation that Samson (of biblical fame) may have been autistic. Speculative, indeed.
One last friendly reminder to submit your favorite posts for Open Lab - only eight days left!
