Science Buzz Lunch, April 15, 2013
Topics discussed included:
1) A recent paper by V. Salimpoor et al. in Science describing an MRI neuroimaging study that revealed that activity in the nuclear accumbens could predict how much people were willing to pay for a new song that were listening to
2) A report in National Geographic magazine about a study showing that elementary school students learn math better when their teachers use gestures as well as speech to teach math compared to when their teachers use speech alone
3) News reports about the reasons for the recently increased longevity in Nagano prefecture (including decreased dietary salt and increased exercise) and the decreased longevity in Okinawa prefecture (including increased meat consumption and obesity).
