We all know what to do to fight climate change We should have been on a war footing in the 1970s, when the consequences of our selfish stupidity began to manifest themselves. Eventually the . . .
Researchers identify a neural pathway critical to correcting behavioral errors
Mount Sinai researchers have identified a neural pathway through which the brain detects errors and guides subsequent behavioral improvement. This process, called cognitive control, is frequently dysregulated in a wide range of psychiatric disorders.
The team s research, published February 19 in
Neuron, also suggests that neurostimulation of this brain pathway could provide an important mechanism for attention adjustments following behavioral errors.
When errors are committed, such as missing a stop sign or running a red light while driving, it s important for our survival to immediately adapt behavior by paying more attention to prevent further errors. This ability to adapt behavior after erroneous actions are one of the key components of human cognitive control.

A big thank you to the efforts and to the fun the above group has given to the community this year. Be sure to take a drive around and enjoy the displays.
The Santa Box located at the firehouse has been busy â keep it full. Thanks to those helpers also, and to all of you, for watching over neighbors and including them in your fun.
