Article Synopsis
- In May, a diverse group of scientists met in Crete for the Molecular Neurobiology Workshop to discuss the assembly of the nervous system.
- They shared data from various techniques to explore how the nervous system responds to a wide range of stimuli despite having a limited number of components.
- Key ideas discussed included molecular cues, the importance of timing, switching mechanisms, and the context of neural responses.
Rising oil prices, fears of global warming, and instability in oil-producing countries have ignited the rush to produce biofuels from plants. The science is progressing rapidly, driven by favorable policies and generous financing, but many hurdles remain before cars and trucks run on "gasohol" or "grassoline."
