[Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." The Meaning of Food

Columbia University Medical Center researchers have successfully restored normal memory and synaptic function in mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease. They identified an enzyme that is required for normal cognition but that is impaired in a mouse model of Alzheimer's. Mice regained the ability to form new memories when the enzyme's function was elevated. The research suggests that boosting the function of this enzyme may provide a promising strategy for battling Alzheimer's disease, and perhaps reversing its effects. LibyaOnline.com
