After how many miles do you change the brakes on your car?

Jan 09, 2010 by voluntarheel | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

It's cold outside and I'm too lazy to go look at my car owner's manual, but how often do you change the brakes on a car - specifically a 2001 Acura TL? This set of brakes probably has 50k miles on it and a lot of it has been city driving. I'm not hard

I recommend changing them when they need it, not by mileage. If you have some experience with a local mechanic, have them check them when you have your tires rotated. They don't really need to be replaced until they wear down to the indicators, which

Tiny worms change direction using two human-like neural circuits

10.12.11

In the past, scientists have relied on that neural wiring map to draw conclusions about how these worms control movement. Some of the conclusions turned out to be incorrect, because "the structural map is not the whole story," Xu said.

"Our current view on the circuitry needs to be significantly revised," he said.

To get a more complete picture, it's necessary to observe and record the activity of individual neurons while the animal is engaged in a specific type of behavior, such as changing its direction of motion.

To accomplish this, the Xu lab developed an instrument called CARIBN (for Calcium Ratiometric Imaging of Behaving Nematodes) that allows researchers to simultaneously image the activity of individual neurons while recording the animal's behavior.

Using this tool, the researchers first confirmed that several important neurons, called command interneurons, are part of the gas pedal circuit that was believed to be solely responsible for motion changes.
