![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe best not to advertise too loudly after all? ![]() On the other hand, the film is honest, and shows him at times being an egotistical jerk and a bit of a lowlife. (Though far from religious, Reed later did write songs with Jewish themes and visited Israel.) On the one hand, it would’ve been cool to let people know he was a member of the tribe. I mean, when you are as cool as the Velvet Underground, you are too cool for labels of any kind, but it’s weird to me that a total newcomer might watch this documentary and leave unaware of Reed’s ethnic identity. I can’t imagine that it never came up at the time - especially when Warhol paired the Velvet Underground with the tall, blonde, German chanteuse Nico - but for whatever reason it is left undiscussed. Though Reed and others both in archival and new interview footage in the film are Jewish, there’s not a single reference made to this fact. ![]() songs that get played on the radio, like “Pale Blue Eyes” and “Sweet Jane,” come from this later era.) Eventually, Reed left the band altogether, and though there is a longer story to tell, that’s where the movie leaves off. Reed clashed with Warhol, and then with Cale, and eventually retooled the group in a slightly more user-friendly version. The film follows the Velvets’ recording years, including their 1967 “The Velvet Underground & Nico” (with the famous banana peel on the cover) and the amphetamine-inspired “White Light/White Heat” follow-up. Haynes shows how these two men, plus an additional guitarist named Sterling Morrison and a drummer named Maureen Tucker, married Cale’s extreme radicalism with Reed’s rock ’n roll attitude and proclivity toward darkness. Living in a now-legendary tenement building on the Lower East Side filled with filmmakers and artists and radical thinkers, Cale began experimenting with drones, atonality, sonic textures, and an expansive use of time. Luckily he met John Cale, a young Welsh musician schooled in classical music who fell in with an extremely avant-garde circle upon coming to Manhattan. (Reed’s sister, in a current interview, doesn’t exactly stand by that decision, but does defend her parents a bit with some “it was the times” prevarication.) Reed quit Long Island for Manhattan with the hopes of becoming a rock star, and ended up working as a songwriter for a discount record company, scratching out “sound-a-likes” and curiosities like “ The Ostrich.” But inside was a dark poet yearning to get out. The place was New York City and the time was the ’60s just before they became “the ’60s.” The key players were Reed, a miserable suburban kid whose Jewish parents attempted to have the “homosexual tendencies” zapped out of him via electroshock treatment. But the group, led by the late Lou Reed (born Lewis Allan Reed, originally Rabinowitz) was not just an example of “right place, right time,” they helped create the place and time. The singer had a range of about three notes, the musicianship wasn’t particularly nuanced, and while the lyrics were certainly transgressive, they drew their power from blunt force more than wit. Now, let’s be clear: they aren’t the best band. The case has been abundantly clear since the mid-1960s, and if you haven’t been paying attention, there’s a spectacular new documentary from director Todd Haynes eager to show you the light - interestingly called “The Velvet Underground,” and out on October 15 on Apple TV+. Maybe some Israeli tech startup can devise a gizmo that can scientifically prove this statement to be true, but until that day comes you’ll simply have to accept what I say. One such example is this: The Velvet Underground is the coolest rock band there ever was. NEW YORK - I’m all about subjectivity when assessing art, but there are some things you just have to lay down as fact. ![]()

In addition, prior studies have shown that working memory task performance measures are heritable phenotypes ( Ando et al., 2001 Luciano et al., 2001 Polderman et al., 2006). Activation during this task is affected in persons with genetically influenced neurodegenerative ( Wishart et al., 2004) and neuropsychiatric disorders ( Callicott et al., 1998 Matsuo et al., 2007), and in healthy family members at increased genetic risk for some of these disorders ( Callicott et al., 2003 Drapier et al., 2008). To tease apart these contributions to individual variability, we measured brain response to an n-back working memory (WM) task. It is of considerable interest to know how much of this variability is due to genetic differences between people, how much to their (unique) environmental experience, and how much to measurement error. However, even with a rigidly standardized stimulus or task, we know that the brain's response is highly variable between people. These genetic brain maps should facilitate discovery of gene variants influencing cognitive brain function through genome-wide association studies, potentially opening up new avenues in the treatment of brain disorders.įunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful tool for interrogating the mechanisms of the brain's response to different environmental stimuli. By establishing the heritability of cognitive brain function in a large sample that affords good statistical power, and using voxel-by-voxel analyses, this study provides the necessary evidence for task-related brain activation to be considered as an endophenotype for psychiatric or neurological disorders, and represents a substantial new contribution to the field of neuroimaging genetics. Individual variations in activation of the working memory network are therefore significantly influenced by genetic factors. ![]() Furthermore, high test-retest reliability for a subsample of 40 twins indicates that nongenetic variance in the fMRI brain response is largely due to unique environmental influences rather than measurement error. Patterns of task-related brain response (BOLD signal difference of 2-back minus 0-back) were significantly heritable, with the highest estimates (40–65%) in the inferior, middle, and superior frontal gyri, left supplementary motor area, precentral and postcentral gyri, middle cingulate cortex, superior medial gyrus, angular gyrus, superior parietal lobule, including precuneus, and superior occipital gyri. Here we report voxel-by-voxel genetic model fitting in a large sample of 319 healthy, young adult, human identical and fraternal twins (mean ± SD age, 23.6 ± 1.8 years) who performed an n-back working memory task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at a high magnetic field (4 tesla). Although key to understanding individual variation in task-related brain activation, the genetic contribution to these individual differences remains largely unknown. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only one Thumper at a time will appear on the Plains at any instance, and there is a 90 to 120 second cooldown time before another Thumper will spawn.The advanced Thumper variants - the Tusk Thumper Bull and Tusk Thumper Doma - have higher chances of spawning when performing high level Bounties.When a Thumper only has half its health left, it will eject a hatch on its top side, opening up a launcher that will allow it to release Tusk Seeker Drones to call in reinforcements.They will only emerge from the ground once players are within striking distance.

Ciliated airway epithelia not only serve a clearance function, but also provide a habitat and a gateway for co-evolved symbionts that play an essential role in the development of the host immune system, and are believed to provide colonization resistance against pathogens.

For example, on airway epithelia, motile cilia clear both mucus and inhaled particles, and disruption of this mucociliary transport can lead to airway disease. In Kansos Bioinspired Motion Lab, we study the flow physics of living systems.
