The effect of sleep on memory
BODY:
Professor Ted Abel, director of the Biological Basis of Behaviour Program, University of Pennsylvania. He is an expert on sleep and memory, and has studied how sleep deprivation hampers memory abilities. He is speaking at the "Molecular and Genetic Mechanisms of Memory" Symposium at Otago University today (Friday 28 August).
EXTENDED BODY:
We know that sleep deprivation affects our brain function - but how much does it impact on our short and long-term memory?
One of the world's leading researchers in this area is Director of the Biological Basis of Behaviour Program at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Ted Abel.
Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping - and Professor Abel says this could have lead to evolutionary disaster, given we are out of touch with our surroundings and unaware of potential dangers.
However, sleep of course, plays the key role of allowing our brain to recover and enables memories to be stored - which means messing with sleep can send our brains awry.
"It's really important for our neurocircuits, they can't just go on firing all the time, they need these periods of rest and recovery."
He says sleep is a very active process, not just the dreams that we wake up and remember, but the patterns of neuronal activity that happen during the night.
Professor Abel is visiting Otago University to speak today at a symposium on the brain mechanisms of memory.
He talked to Nine to Noon's Kathryn Ryan about how lack of sleep can affect your memory, the value of naps and sleeping after traumatic events.

EXTENDED BODY:
Dawn, September 10, 1984. Outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York nearly 100 New Zealanders are waiting. They're there to celebrate the opening of Te Māori exhibition. As the sun rises, a karanga rings out along 84th Street and 5th Avenue. Sir Pita Sharples recalls the opening
Who are these people who come and pray in the dark, and talk to pieces of wood, and say prayers that stop the rain?
Pita Sharples was 43 years old, a cultural leader living in West Auckland and part of the large New Zealand group flown in for the opening of Te Māori.
'When the karanga began, we'd been up for hours preparing.Two of us were the manutaki and we led the procession in with out taiahas. It was really exciting.'
10 years of work had led up to this landmark exhibition of Māori art, opening at what co-curator Sir Hirini Moko Mead called ‘the centre of the world of art.’ The New Zealand party contained representatives from most of the country’s iwi. But not all were there. Some iwi had not consented to their taonga traveling offshore.
'The opposition to it going was the fact that these are artifact forms of living people. So they carry the mana of that whakapapa and that tribe...but of course we go and we are the living taonga if you like, so I didn't see a difference.'
This was the first time New Zealand had been on the front page of the New York Times since Hillary climbed Everest.
The Māori presence in Manhattan had caused quite a stir within the local media. The New York Times wrote that 'the Māori rituals added some meaning to the sculptures in the exhibition and not just for the Māoris. Gasps of wonder and surprise and not a few teary eyes were seen in the exhibition hall when the warriors dance and the elders spoke.'
Television and radio coverage of the respect shown to these works by the New York audience greatly affected many watching and listening back home in New Zealand. When the exhibition returned in 1987 Pita Sharples recalls having mixed emotions.
The welcome back of these taonga to New Zealand was so big,every museum wanted (them)...I thought "why? It's been here all this time!"
'We take it to America and make it famous in your eyes and now that it is famous, you want to welcome it. Where were you guys yesterday? This has been around!'
Nevertheless, Sir Pita is certain that the sea change that occurred between 1984 and 1987 has remained and improved the nation.
'Wow, today marae play a full role in New Zealand's activities. So finally we've broken through.'
And given the chance, Pita Sharples would do it all again and looks forward to a time when Te Māori or a similar exhibition travels to museums in Europe and elsewhere.
'Some of the younger ones who were involved at that time like myself are still around, so I think there is every possibility of doing something else. This is a time when globalisation is almost out of hand, and you are part of a global culture.'
So I think it is even more important that we do something at this time to reinforce the mana of Māori history and the taonga, both living and physical, that carry this history and carry the hopes of the future.

Father of the Modern Romney
BODY:
Holmes Warren is described as " the father of the modern Romney", the breed which is the base of the New Zealand flock. In the 1950's ad 1960's when others bred for wool, Holmes was breeding for twinning and easy care lambing. He was a shrewd observer of stock and a man ahead of his time. In 1970, Homes started the Wairarapa Romney Improvement group. He has just been awarded the 2015 New Zealand Sheep Industry Lifetime Achievement Award with the judges acknowledging the strong influence his work still has on today's national flock.
EXTENDED BODY:
Mike and Holmes Warren at Turanganui. (Below) A 1950's Romney with short legs and a squat body.
At 87 years old Holmes Warren still gets out farming most days on his southern Wairarapa property, Turanganui.
Looking out over his 5000 stud romney ewes, which trace their beginnings on the farm back to 1907, he's seeing an animal vastly different to those he started with nearly 70 years ago.
Back then the romney breed had shorter legs and a more squat looking body, with woolly faces. Breeders were selecting on looks rather than productive traits.
Holmes felt this wasn't "commercially sensible", so he started putting effort into breeding from twinning ewes, easy lambing ewes and ones with vigor.
It was slow going because fertility isn't a very heritable trait. Gradually however, the number of lambs climbed from one per ewe to one-point-six.
He says easy lambing ewes that were good mothers and who fossicked well on hill country, were much easier to achieve.
By boiling down the carcasses of ewes who needed help with lambing they worked out that a small pelvic opening was the problem. "So from there on we culled every ewe we had to lamb, heritability was quite high so we got on top of it quite quickly."
Holmes Warren's efforts have been rewarded with a 2015 New Zealand Sheep Industry Lifetime Achievement Award from Beef and Lamb New Zealand. That organisation describes him as "the father of the modern romney".
It says his work continues to have a strong influence on today's national flock.

Oashore
BODY:
Ecological protection goes hand in hand with farming at a 550 hectare coastal property on Banks Peninsula. Cosmo Kentish-Barnes meets Oashore farm manager Kate Whyte, who has safeguarded the last pockets of podocarp forest and de-stocked much of the hill country farm. The rugged land leads down to three isolated bays that were used as whaling stations in the 19th century. Nowadays the bays are home to a penguin protection programme and a shipwreck in the sand is a reminder of the dangers the whalers once faced.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ecological protection goes hand in hand with farming at Oashore, a 550 hectare coastal property on Banks Peninsula owned by American businessman Doug DeAngelis.
Since buying the sheep and beef farm, Doug has protected over 50 hectares by covenant under the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust. The covenant means the magnificent landscape will remain undeveloped.
Kate Whyte lives on the property and manages it. "I lease out the farmland, manage weeds and pests and make sure all the fencing's up to scratch. Looking after the habitat that's here already is priority number one" she says.
There are no longer cattle on Oashore and the non-covenanted part of the farm is only grazed lightly by sheep. The property is distinctive botanically with a number of rare species, including the only population of the shrub Muehlenbeckia astonii on Banks Peninsula.
In the steep gullies that lead down to three isolated bays are pockets native forest.
"The really significant thing about bush like this on the Peninsula is that it's got all the tiers of the vegetation, you've got the podocarps at the top, then under that canopy you've got the hardwood species and then on the bottom you got the ferns and the ground cover species".
Kate and her partner Bruce McCallum have put down dozens of traps to protect the local birdlife from predators such as cats, ferrets, rats and possums. "We see Kereru much more often and fantails, there are more bellbird sounds and the penguins would have travelled into these areas of bush to burrow once upon a time if it wasn't for the predators".
The three bays on the property were used as whaling stations in the 19th century. Nowadays the bays are home to a penguin protection programme and a shipwreck in the sand is a reminder of the dangers the whalers' faced.
Neighbouring farmer Ted Hutchinson, who has spent most of his 80 years in Magnet Bay, says the shipwreck dates back to 1844. "It was wrecked just round on Magnet Point and then it drifted round and finished up on the beach in Hikuraki Bay. The whalers took all they timber they could get off it to make a store house for the whaling station and the wreck has just laid under the sand ever since".
