Scientists Listen To Brain Patterns Of Tone-deafness
Tone deafness -- or amusia -- can be congenital, present from birth, or acquired following injury to the brain. In a new study, researchers now report the first objective measurement of the brain deficit in congenital amusia. Liver May Be Source Of 'Good' Cholesterol
Research in mice suggests that the liver may produce most of the body's "good"cholesterol, an unexpected finding that might one day help scientists develop new treatments to raise levels of this heart-protecting molecule in humans.
