With the increase in the share of young people who are students, and increases the average number of years of education is the main indicator by which the world is measured by the stock of human capital. If you believe that the number of universities, students, and years of education per capita reflects the amount of knowledge, the search for the causes of stagnation, which today is the Russian economy, should not be

Scientists have discovered how the smell becomes a memory Smell can evoke memories of events many years ago and involved several areas of the brain, found researchers from Germany. Neuroscientists have long known that short-term memory for odors is responsible piriforme cortex — the part of a structure called the olfactory brain. However, about the long-term memory for odours, to date, was not known. Scientists from Ruhr University in Germany, the first to show that this process involves several areas of the brain. They conducted a study on rats, affecting the brain by electrical impulses of different frequencies and intensities to simulate the process of remembering olfactory sensations. The same way we form long-term memories in the hippocampus. However piriformes bark that didn’t work in any of the variants of standard protocols. And scientists have suggested that to start the process piriformes the bark of the desired signal from higher
