I am afraid to look at the stuff that's accumulated in my aggregator.
OK, that's perhaps overstating things, but the prospecting of sorting through it all and picking out stuff to link to is still too overwhelming. I got me a bad case of blogging anxiety.
Meanwhile, here's some stuff cribbed from Scientific American -- they've got a "Link to this article" widget that took care of the HTML gruntwork for me.
- Scientists See How Placebo Effect Eases Pain
- Sex Differences in the Brain -- Men and women display patterns of behavioral and cognitive differences that reflect varying hormonal influences on brain development
- Sleep Lets Brain File Memories
- Tetris Dreams -- How and when people see pieces from the computer game in their sleep tells of the role dreaming plays in learning
- How long can humans stay awake?
I will get my shit together, eventually.

Tertris dreams! People did research on tetris dreams! That's so cool! I learned tetris while staying with my aunt and uncle when I was 13 or so, and when I told them I saw tetris blocks in my dreams they wouldn't let me play anymore!

I know what you mean about Tetris :D
Even worse was when I'd start seeing the pieces in my head when I was just on the verge of falling asleep...

I never played much Tetris, but right around the same time that Tetris was becoming popular, I was playing a lot of Sim City -- the original version, which was pretty much limited to rectangular blocks of uniform size. I had a lot of Sim City dreams in those days.
Maybe there's something about those blocky shapes that resonates well with our dreaming minds.

Thanks for the link to How long can humans stay awake?
The quick answer of 264 hours was what I was looking for. I don't hold the world record.
