A brain gain with a brain drain [PDF]

open access: possibleEconomics Letters, 1997
"We study human capital depletion and formation in an economy open to out-migration, as opposed to an economy which is closed. Under the assumption of asymmetric information, the enlarged opportunities and the associated different structure of incentives can give rise to a brain gain in conjunction with a brain drain. Migration by high-skill members of

Big brain/smart brain

Neurology, 2011
Over the past half-century, insights from research have repeatedly rekindled our curiosity about how the structure of the brain relates to the process of thinking. For example, we now appreciate the importance of the synaptic connections that fill the pink stuff we used to call “neuropil” on brain histologic sections1 and the role of selective neuronal

Brain Death or Brain Dying?

Journal of Child Neurology, 2012
For the past 50 years, the medical profession has understood ‘‘brain death’’ to represent the endpoint of a neuropathologic vicious cycle. An initial major brain injury sets off a mutually exacerbating cascade of cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and decreased cerebral blood flow, which advances beyond some point-of-no-return to a state ...
