Along the way it triggers an automatic reflex that causes the man to flinch and tighten his gluteal muscle. After the impulse reaches the thalamus, a major (and evolutionally ancient) junction box at the base of the brain, where it is perceived as pain, it proceeds...

To carry the crux of his case, the prosecutor relied on the experts-and they came through with explicit, if esoteric evidence. Although scientists never had before been able to find traces of the drug after it had been injected into...
