In Greece there is a unique in its kind Laboratory in whole Europe

In the courtyard of the traditional building in Kalamata (the capital of South/East Peloponnese) where the Department of History, Archeology and Cultural  Resources Management of the University of Peloponnese is set since 2003, Greek students enjoy the  sunshine  sitting together with colleagues from the U.S., Slovenia and Turkey who have moved in Kalamata in order to attend in English language the Master’s program “CultTech” (Cultural Heritage Materials and Technologies), while a Canadian has already graduated and  returned to his homeland.

The increasingly efficient teenage brain

Some brain networks become more densely connected during adolescence while others become less so, according to a new analysis published in eNeuro of neuroimaging data collected from more than 700 children and adolescents from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort. These changes in network connectivity may underlie the refinement of cognitive abilities that develop during the teenage years. Continue reading “The increasingly efficient teenage brain”

Genomes of five late Neandertals provide insights into Neandertal population history

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have sequenced the genomes of five Neandertals that lived between 39,000 and 47,000 years ago. These late Neandertals are all more closely related to the Neandertals that contributed DNA to modern human ancestors than an older Neandertal from the Altai Mountains that was previously sequenced. Their genomes also provide evidence for a turnover in the Neandertal population towards the end of Neandertal history.
