Brain Activity Prior To Treatment Flags Vulnerability To Antidepressan
In a finding that opens new doors to determining susceptibility to antidepressant side effects, researchers at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute report that changes in brain activity prior to treatment with antidepressants can flag patient vulnerability. Two Genes Are Important Key To Regulating Immune Response
Scientists have identified two genes that may be crucial to the production of an immune system cytokine. The discovery fills in an important "missing link"in a biochemical pathway that's long been tied to disorders ranging from lupus and Type 1 diabetes, to cancer and AIDS. New Brain Marker Shows Promise For Predicting Future Alzheimer's Disea
Researchers have used imaging technology to identify a new marker that may help identify those at greatest risk for cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease. While other studies have focused on the brain's ability to turn on certain regions, this research determined that losing the ability to turn off a region of the brain may be a more sensitive marker of future cognitive decline. Accident Prone? Scientists Link Brain Function To Knee Injuries
A torn anterior cruciate ligament is among an athlete's most-dreaded injuries, often requiring surgery and months of rehab. Curiously, most athletes aren't injured in a tackle or collision, they actually "do themselves in"-- they end up injuring themselves landing off-balance during a jump or run. But why? In the first study of its kind, University of Delaware scientists show that differences in brain function may be to blame, predisposing some of us to "noncontact"knee injuries. Really Big Planets: When Do Gas Giants Reach The Point Of No Return?
Astronomers have identified the point at which a star causes the atmosphere of an orbiting gas giant to become critically unstable. Depending upon their proximity to a host star, giant Jupiter-like planets have atmospheres which are either stable and thin, or unstable and rapidly expanding. The research enables us to work out whether planets in other systems are stable or unstable by using a 3-D model to characterize their atmospheres. Top Techy Tools for Artists
From technique enhancers to health protectors, our guide to helpful artist's gizmos includes a graphics tablet and airbrush, as well as an air purifier and good lighting. In Gadget Lab. Amend for Arnold [Schwarzenegger] &Jen
This group seeks to amend Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 (called "ASC 215") of the United States Constitution, which allows only natural-born citizens to become president. Such an amendment would allow people to run for president if they have been U.S. citizens for 20 years or more. Includes links to news coverage and a commercial. (The "Jen"in the title is Canadian-born Jennifer Granholm, elected governor of Michigan in 2002.) Bose-Einstein Condensate Runs Circles Around Magnetic Trap
Bose-Einstein condensation typically happens inside a magnetic trap, yielding a nebula of cold gas. UC Berkeley physicists found that a gentle nudge was enough to launch a blob into a circular orbit - the first BEC storage ring. The ring allows study of cold collisions, quantized circulation and perhaps fluid analogs of general relativity. One goal is two BEC blobs traveling in opposite directions, creating matter wave interference that could allow sensitive detection of rotation. No Breakfast And Frequent Fast Food Leads To Extra Pounds In Aging Tee
The phrase "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"has taken on new meaning for teenagers. A new study suggests that as teens enter adulthood, they are more likely to skip breakfast and increase their fast food consumption, and that both behaviors lead to an increased risk of weight gain. Researchers at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at the Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School conducted the study. Why Embryos Need A Good Diet
A thick-coated vole and a man with cardiovascular disease have something in common: both are doing what their mothers told them. They are part of the developmental programming phenomenon that is broader than many acknowledge, according to a review paper published in The Journal of Physiology.
