Tapeworm Interview: Binding of Isaac Creator Talks New Card Game, Art, and Themes - GameRant Tapeworm Interview: Binding of Isaac Creator Talks New Card Game, Art, and Themes - GameRant Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:53 AM PDT Game Rant recently had the chance to sit down with Edmund McMillen, creator of such classic games as Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac , to talk about his newest project. Rather than an update to Binding of Isaac or even the start of another video game, Edmund's latest creation is a tabletop card game called Tapeworm .

Toxoplasma gondii infection rewires the brain: Researchers - Outbreak News Today Toxoplasma gondii infection rewires the brain: Researchers - Outbreak News Today Posted: 02 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT Think about traffic flow in a city – there are stop signs, one-way streets, and traffic lights to organize movement across a widespread network. Now, imagine what would happen if you removed some of the traffic signals. Image/CDC Among your brain's 86 billion neurons are the brain's own version of stop signals: inhibitory neurons that emit chemicals to help regulate the flow of ions traveling down one cell's axon to the next neuron. Just as a city without traffic signals would experience a spike in vehicle accidents, when the brain's inhibitory signals are weakened, activity can become unchecked, leading to a variety of disorders. In a new study  published in  GLIA  on March 11, Virginia Tech neuroscientists at the Fralin B...
