Why are these scientific publications of recent interest?

Baird, AA; Kagan, J; Gaudette, T; Walz, KA; Hershlag, N; Boas, DA (August 2002). "Frontal lobe activation during object permanence: data from near-infrared spectroscopy". NeuroImage 16 (4): 1120–6. doi:10.1006/nimg.2002.1170. PMID 12202098.

The "Hershlag, N." refers to Natalie Portman, who recently picked up a Best Actress Oscar. Portman, who went to Harvard and was also precocious at science (to all-round envy, no doubt), is probably the only Oscar winner with an Erdos number.
