An electric signal can trick a monkey’s brain into believing the animal’s finger has been touched.
Touch something, and your brain knows. The hand sends signals to the brain to announce contact was made. But that feeling of touch may not require making actual contact, tests on monkeys now show. Zapping brain cells can fool the animal into thinking its finger has touched something.
A person who has lost a limb or become paralyzed may need an artificial limb to complete everyday tasks. But such patients may not truly feel any objects they hold. The new findings point toward one day creating a sense of touch in those who use such artificial limbs. Psychologist Sliman Bensmaia of University of Chicago worked on the new tests. His team’s findings appeared on October 14 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
The sense of touch is crucial to everyday tasks: People without it may have difficulty cracking an egg, lifting a cup or even turning a doorknob. That’s why restoring it is a major goal for designers of artificial limbs.
In their new study, Bensmaia and his co-workers worked with rhesus monkeys (恒河猴). The scientists implanted electrodes (电极)--- small devices that can detect and relay an electrical signal—into the animals’ brains. The scientists used the electrode data to identify which neurons had become active. Then the scientists used the implanted electrodes to zap those same neurons. And the monkeys reacted as though their fingers had been touched. In fact, they hadn’t.
The monkeys couldn’t use words to tell the scientists what they had felt. Instead, they communicated by looking in a particular direction—just as when they had really been touched.
The new findings show how touch-sensitive devices could be built. The new study also offers “ a nice clear pathway” for figuring out how to restore a sense of touch to an amputee(被截肢者) or someone with a injury of spinal cord.
The study shows how artificial limbs might be connected to the brain so that a person can “feel” with such a prosthesis (假肢). But such a supersensory device doesn’t exist yet and scientists have a lot of work to do before people will benefit from it. Researchers must first figure out whether the electrodes would work in people in the same way they do in monkeys.
“ I think the foundation is laid for human trials,” Bensmaia said.

In an early stage，in Americans’eyes，Ebola was only a disease characterized by fever in Africa． then a man from west Africa died from Ebola at a hospital in Dallas，Texas．And two nurses for him became infected with the virus，which made the US government issue new guidelines(指南)to health workers．
Top American have repeatedly said that most people have little chance of being infected．Experts have that Ebola can only be spread through with an infected person’s body fluid-like blood．But it many Americans are what they have heard．
A recent survey found more than 80 percent of Americans believe that Ebola can be spread in many ，including air forced through the nose or mouth．The Harvard School of Public Health the findings．The study also showed that most adults fear there will be a(n) of Ebola in the United States soon．
survey found that more than 70 percent of Americans would support calls to travel to and from Ebola-affected parts of Africa．
Thomas Frieden heads the U.S．Centers for Disease Control and Prevention．When asked whether officials had considered a travel ban，Mr．Frieden had to say：“We won’t be able to check travelers for when they leave or when they arrive. We won’t be able , as we do ,to take a detailed history to see if they were when they arrive. When they arrive, we wouldn’t be able to impose quarantine（强加隔离）as we now can if they have contact.”
Last week , President Barack Obama urged Americans not to what he called “ panic or fear “.
This week，the administration announced that all travelers arriving in the United States from some African nations are required to pass through one of five airports．

Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early．At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well．In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph．D．in mathematics．From then on, mathematic provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry．

Neumann really was a legend(传奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him．His driving ability is a part of this legend．He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road．The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour．Suddenly one of them stepped in my path．”
