Newly Identified Role of ApoE4 Suggests Possible Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's
Nearly a quarter century ago, a genetic variant known as ApoE4 was identified as a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease -- one that increases a person's chances of developing the neurodegenerative disease by up to 12 times.
The research is in Nature. (full access paywall)

Immune Cells May Heal Bleeding Brain After Strokes
While immune cells called neutrophils are known to act as infantry in the body's war on germs, a National Institutes of Health-funded study suggests they can act as medics as well. By studying rodents, researchers showed that instead of attacking germs, some neutrophils may help heal the brain after an intracerebral hemorrhage, a form of stroke caused by ruptured blood vessels. The study suggests that two neutrophil-related proteins may play critical roles in protecting the brain from stroke-induced damage and could be used as treatments for intracerebral hemorrhage.

New Tool to Assess Individual's Level of Wisdom Developed
Researchers at University of San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new tool called the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE) to assess an individual's level of wisdom, based upon a conceptualization of wisdom as a trait with a neurobiological as well as psychosocial basis.
The research is in Journal of Psychiatric Research. (full access paywall)

Your Living Room: aka the Augmented Reality Showroom
Over on Twitter today, people are plopping chairs and couches all over train stations, zoos, streets, and um yes, living rooms. All thanks to Ikea using Apple's ARKit to develop an AR shopping app.
Now, Ikea claims the 3-D furniture in Ikea Place shows up at scale with 98 percent accuracy, with true-to-life representations of the texture, fabric, lighting, and shadows. In testing the app, that held up: Digital sofas and chairs sprang to life realistically next to permanent, physical objects. Valdsgaard says much of that technological improvement comes from ARKit. Rather than using 2-D camera overlays, the app takes data from your phone's camera sensors to map digital objects in a room. Apple calls this "world tracking," and it helps keep a digital sofa from skittering around the room like a balloon. The furniture items also load faster than they did in the previous iteration, and don't require any calibration on the part of the user.

Santa Monica, CA
The #LAPhotowalk with +Trey Ratcliff was short, but I hope the images from the past days were able to give a glimpse of the place itself. Here is another one. Just exploring the beach. Santa Monica, CA is not far away from Hollywood, so things look a little bit different here, from time to time.
ENJOY

‘Stranger Things’ Pop-Up to Close Oct. 1 as Netflix Lawyers Slay Idea - Eater Chicago http://bit.ly/2ye3bcU
I'd have to say that's the best letter I've seen about this kind of stuff. +Netflix (politely) requires the pop-up bar to close, though in a way fans should enjoy. You have till Oct 1. +Kelly Kolton maybe you can go there for me. =D
