Although the fruit fly brain is much simpler than that of humans, they have many similar genes and proteins that are used in everyday activities such as learning, memorizing, sleeping and exploring. Therefore, the study of fruit flies can be helpful in the study of human brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's. 雖然果蠅的大腦構造比人類簡單許多,但在諸如學習、記憶、睡眠和探索等日常活動方面,兩者間卻會用上許多相似的基因和蛋白質。因此,研究果蠅或許對阿茲海默症、帕金森氏症和亨丁頓舞蹈症等人類腦部病變的研究有所助益。  
The team, whose findings were published in the Feb. 10 edition of Science magazine in the U.S., is also hoping to confirm whether the human brain also stores long-term memories in only a few cells.
  再者,該團隊希望證實人類短期記憶是否也只儲存於大腦的少數細胞內。

"This discovery could help us understand how proteins and neurons form memory, and could be conducive to developing ways of curing human brain diseases and enhancing human memory," explained the team leader, National Tsing Hua University Professor Ann-shyn Chiang. "It may even be applied to the development of intelligent computers." 研究團隊領導人,國立清華大學 教授江安世解釋:「這項發現可以幫助人類了解蛋白質和神經元如何形成記憶,而且可能有助於研發治療腦部病變與提升人類記憶力的方法。它甚至可以應用於研發智慧型電腦。」

Spotlight on TaiwanGo team!

A Taiwanese research team has recently identified the brain cells responsible for the formation of long-term memory in fruit flies, which could pave the way for curing human brain diseases and enhancing memory. After seven years of research, they found that the formation of long-term memories requires the synthesis of new proteins in only a few cells in the brains of fruit flies.   台灣焦點

台灣研究團隊,加油!

一支台灣研究團隊最近找到了可形成果蠅長期記憶的腦細胞,而這項發現或許可為治療人類腦部病變與提升記憶力開啟先河。經過七年的研究,該研究團隊發現,只要果蠅大腦內少數細胞合成新的蛋白質,即可形成長期記憶。

Cryptic, you say? Not if you take into consideration Lin's wide scope of musical influences, which range from Hong Kong's Eason Chan to British alternative rock group Radiohead. A similar mix of wide-ranging talents and performances is scheduled to take place at the jazz concert scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 26. Lin's eclectic performance style will be enhanced by an ensemble of top instrumentalists trained overseas in Europe and the U.S. — violins, keyboards, saxophones, oh my!

     認為這樣太神秘了?如果你考慮到林宥嘉廣泛的音樂啟蒙就不會這麼想了;他受到許多音樂人的影響,包括香港歌手陳奕迅到英國另類搖滾樂團電台司令等。「林宥嘉邂逅爵士慈善音樂會」預計在二月廿六日星期日舉行,到時你就能夠欣賞到他多元的歌唱技巧與精湛演出。現場將會有來自歐美,且受過嚴格訓練的海外頂尖樂團以小提琴、電子琴和薩克斯風,襯托這位小天王兼容並蓄的表演風格。天啊,真是等不及了!

By partnering with the Taiwan Foundation for Rare Disorders (TFRD), Lin is trading his usual rocker uniform for a gentleman's outfit, all in the name of charity. Aptly christened "A jazzy night with Yoga Lin," the benefit concert will be hosted by the National Taiwan University of Science & Technology's EDBA/EMBA program. If you haven't figured out the business connection between the local university and one of our favorite artists, the hint lies within The Student Post's maxim: "The Best of Both Worlds." 台科大 EDBA/EMBA 研究所與財團法人罕見疾病基金會合作,特邀林宥嘉共襄盛舉,舉辦一場名為「林宥嘉邂逅爵士慈善音樂會」的義演,而林宥嘉一改平日搖滾風格,換上紳士形象的服裝演唱。倘若你不了解國內大學和受歡迎的歌手之間究竟有什麼商業連結,提示就是《學生郵報》的座右銘——「相輔相成」。
