CMPA fees will go up - and down.

Perceived speed in peripheral vision can go up or down.

We measured the perceived speed and contrast of patterns in peripheral vision relative to foveal patterns for a range of eccentricities at both mesopic and photopic levels. The results indicate that perceived speed varies with eccentricity, speed, and luminance. At high (photopic) luminance, patterns appear slower when viewed peripherally rather than foveally, but at low (mesopic) luminance fas...

Clean up or go crazy

A utophagy is needed to clear up dementia-inducing proteins from the cell, report Filimonenko et al. During autophagy, the cell gobbles up its own internal components into membranous structures called autophago-somes, which fuse with multivesicular bodies (MVBs) before delivery to lysosomes, where the sequestered material is degraded. Autophagy is particularly important at times of cell stress ...
