## Resource

In quake stricken Venezuela once bustling streets are silent but for the sound of crying, as citizens scrape through the rubble with their bare hands searching desperately for the missing. Freelance Venezuelan journalist Camilla Rodriguez Montilla says hopes are fading but anger at the slow official response is growing. If it takes you by surprise chances are you’re more likely to remember it. Neuroscientists from the University of Sydney have looked inside our brains to understand how we respond to unexpected events, and how that primes our neural pathways for high performance and memory making. Dr Reuben Rideaux, is the lead researcher of this paper. Palestinians describe their presence as psychological warfare, but music teacher Ahmed Abu Amsha has found a way to drown out the menacing thrum of Israeli drones - with song.
