...them out they actually work,” says Penny Q. Fang ’08. Students like Ecaterina R. Burton ’08 agree. “I’ve gleaned the most benefit from keeping a gratitude journal, where every day I write down things that fill me with gratitude for being alive,” Burton writes in an e-mail. Others, like Allen A. T. Ewal ’06-’07 have found a little more inner peace through in-section meditation. “Before the section, hearing the word...
...report by a Harvard Medical School (HMS) research team identified specific neurons in macaque monkeys that assign values to different material objects to facilitate decision-making. The results could provide insight into the mechanisms behind human choice. The report, which appeared in the online edition of the journal Nature on Sunday, located these neurons in an area of the brain known as the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). “There are neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex whose activity represents or encodes the value that subjects assign to the available goods when they make choices,” said Camillo Padoa...
...reason to be happy. Through April, Mollohan faced mounting allegations in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times that he had routed as much as $250 million of federal money to nonprofits he set up, employees and contractors of which in turn funneled money to his campaigns. He had also been accused of underreporting real estate holdings on his personal financial disclosure forms. Mollohan has denied wrongdoing...
...scientifically rigorous, well-controlled study that involved nearly 20,000 women and was conducted by very reputable researchers. More data will be presented in June at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The investigators are also writing a paper to submit to a research journal, but felt it would be unethical to withhold from the group that participated in the STAR trial their overall conclusion that raloxifene was the winner. The women will now find out which drug they were taking, and those on tamoxifen will be given the choice of either staying on that drug...
...been a definitive test: clinicians are able to diagnose the condition only after months of observing symptoms and excluding other disorders. Kiernan, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales, and Ph.D. student Steve Vucic say they've developed a better way. Described in the American journal Muscle & Nerve, it involves 40-year-old technology called transcranial magnetic stimulation, which the pair have tailored for a new purpose. Held against a subject's head, a magnetic coil discharges a current that stimulates the motor cortex - the part of the brain that controls movement - causing an involuntary twitch...
