☆ Meet Reed Jobs, the Apple cofounder's son who just launched a VC fund to invest in cancer treatments

Reed Jobs, the son of Steve Jobs, launched Yosemite, a VC firm that will invest in cancer treatments. Reed Jobs, Steve Jobs's oldest son, is striking out on his own. Jobs, one of three children of the Apple cofounder and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, is launching Yosemite, a venture capital firm that will invest in new cancer treatments, according to a press release. The 31-year-old was inspired by his father to start the fund after Steve Jobs died from complications of pancreatic cancer in 2011, he told The New York Times. Jobs's latest business venture will build on his previous work as a managing director at the Emerson Collective, the mission-driven corporation founded by his mother.

☆ Video may show an octopus waking up from a nightmare, scientists believe

A video shows an octopus appearing to wake up from sleep in distress. The behaviour looked similar to waking up from a nightmare, scientists said. One of the study's co-authors noted that it would be difficult to study an octopus' brain activity and determine whether they actually dream. Robyn Crook, an associate professor of biology at San Francisco State University, told Live Science that the octopus' behavior could have been due to senescence, which is when an octopus' body starts to break down before death. "I don't exclude that senescence could be one of the drivers of this," Ramos told Live Science.
☆ Is This Octopus Having a Nightmare?

Costello the octopus was napping while stuck to the glass of his tank at the Rockefeller University in New York. A minute later, Costello scuttled along the glass toward his tank’s sandy bottom, curling his arms over his body. “This was not a normal octopus behavior,” said Dr. Ramos, who is now at the University of Vermont. Perhaps Costello was having a nightmare, he and a team of researchers speculated. They shared this idea and other possible explanations in a study uploaded this month to the bioRxiv website.
☆ In a novel experiment, brain-like human tissue implanted in rat brains influenced the rodents' behavior

Their results, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, showed that the brain-like human tissue integrated with the rat tissue, then continued to mature. The researchers injected the human tissue into the rats’ somatosensory cortexes — regions that receive and process sensory information like touch or pain. The researchers also used a puff of air to prod the rats’ whiskers, then observed how the human neurons responded. "We found that human neurons respond very quickly after we stimulated the whiskers. "Human neurons become part of the rat circuitry," Pașca said, adding that the neurons were "sparkling with electrical activity" under a microscope.
