Cells called motor neurons direct the electrical-signal traffic coming from all over the body to the muscles. Movement depends on the number and the firing characteristics of motor neurons. But with age, these messenger cells die off, leaving the rest to compensate by modifying the way they deliver the signal to the muscle.<\/p>\n<p>In her research, Joshi measures the muscles\u2019 signals because diminished hand task performance and muscle coordination shows up as altered signal characteristics. For example, the muscle signal of a person that has tremor while gripping will have different attributes than someone doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>She is comparing the motor neuron functioning of younger with older adults to identify exactly what changes occur as people age.<\/p>\n<h2>Gayantha R.

The first is that Mars used to be a cold, icy planet. The second contends that it had a more temperate climate, with flowing rivers and lakes.<\/p>\n<p>Which is correct? The answer may lie at the bottom of a California lake.<\/p>\n<p>That is where doctoral student Gayantha R. L. Kodikara is examining sediments to better understand a class of minerals called zeolites, which generally form in the presence of water.<\/p>\n<p>Kodikara is comparing orbital remote sensing data, which can detect zeolites, with his findings on the ground to determine the accuracy of the data. Then, he extrapolates his findings to Mars so that scientists can better pinpoint areas where zeolites might be found.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, it will support the theory that Mars was a warmer, wet planet. It\u2019s important because Mars\u2019 past has implications for Earth\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there used to be water (on Mars), why did it become a dry planet?\u201d Kodikara said. And what, he added, does that mean for Earth?<\/p>\n<p>So far, NASA rovers have not found evidence of zeolites on Mars, but Kodikara\u2019s research shows that they may be covered, masked or otherwise unable to be detected by remote sensing data.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stories written by Tony Rehagen, Silvia Acevedo, Kathy Quirk, Becky Lang, Laura Otto and Sarah Vickery\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They are inventors, innovators and mentors.
