...neuroscientist who discovered vigabatrin for drug addiction, I was extremely pleased with the breadth and accuracy of "The Science of Addiction." The use of vigabatrin as a potential treatment for drug addiction derives directly from advances made in nuclear medicine imaging research at Brookhaven National Laboratory. If successful, its impact will be felt worldwide. Taxpayer-funded institutions like Brookhaven truly help support the translation of discoveries made in the laboratory to treatments for patients afflicted with life-threatening illnesses, including drug addiction. Continued political support and financial investment in scientific research are vital to maintaining our way of life...

...wrecking job on the notion that dreams are a random by-product of REM sleep was carried out by the South African neuroscientist and psychoanalyst Solms, who was working at the Royal London Hospital in the 1990s when he made his career-defining discoveries. Solms wasn't alone at the time in realizing that dreaming occurred outside periods of REM, that it was also common at sleep onset and shortly before waking in the morning. But he found an even weaker spot in the Hobson-McCarley hypothesis. If their theory was right, then people with damage to a part...
...imaging study, to be published shortly in the American journal Bipolar Disorders, is the culmination of four years' work by a psychiatrist (Malhi) and a neuroscientist (Lagopoulos) who make an engagingly odd pairing. Cambridge-trained Malhi does most of the talking, often employing metaphors to explain complex ideas; Lagopoulos pipes up in a manner that suggests he would have impressed the heck out of his high-school science teacher. They often disagree, and sometimes argue "but outside work we're the best of friends," says Lagopoulos...
COULD THINKING ABOUT THOUGHTS IN A new way affect not only such pathological brain states as OCD and depression but also normal activity? To find out, neuroscientist Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin at Madison turned to Buddhist monks, the Olympic athletes of mental training. Some monks have spent more than 10,000 hours of their lives in meditation. Earlier in Davidson's career, he had found that activity greater in the left prefrontal cortex than in the right correlates with a higher baseline level of contentment. The relative left/right activity came to be seen as a marker...
