Sleep, And How Cocaine Changes The Brain To Make Treatment So Difficul
New research clarifies the role of drugs of abuse on sleep, why cocaine is so powerful, and the brain changes that occur due to abuse that make addiction so difficult to treat. Studies have found that addictive drugs such as cocaine affect many circadian, or biological clock, genes including two which have been shown to regulate dopamine, a brain chemical that underlies the rewarding effects of cocaine. Space Heaters That Get Toasty Fast and Look Good Doing It
When it's so cold in your home office that you can't think, it's time to turn on a space heater. Wirededitors snuggled up to De'Longhi's Mica Panel, which they say "radiates an almost instant beam of life-giving warmth."
 New Measurement Undermines Physicists' Theories For Nature's Hidden 'P
A new measurement by a student and professor at the University of Rochester has shed new light on the limits of scientists' standard model of physics. Doctoral student Ben Kilminster and Kevin McFarland, professor of physics, used the particle accelerator at Fermilab to conduct the first measurement ever done with enough precision to discern certain characteristics of how the top quark, the heaviest particle in known physics, decays. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... One Small Step For Neurons, One Giant Leap For Nerve Cell Repair
The repair of damaged nerve cells is a major problem in medicine today. A new study is a significant advance towards a solution for neuronal repair. Scientists have created nerve cell connections in vitro using artificial substances, a major advance towards nerve cell repair. Stock Graphs Can Mislead: People Prefer Stocks With Shorter Runs
Can the way stock information is presented lead investors to make the wrong decisions? A new study shows that when investors use charts, they are likely to make a baseless decision about the riskiness of a stock based on its run-length. Imaging Technique Is Highly Accurate In Diagnosing, Locating Pancreas
The noninvasive imaging technology called positron-emission tomography (PET scan) is extremely accurate in diagnosing a type of congenital hyperinsulinism, a rare but severe imbalance of insulin levels in newborns. When that disease is confined to a limited section of the baby's pancreas, the PET scan is 100 percent accurate in locating the abnormal spot, and guiding surgeons to curative, organ-sparing surgery. Ambulance Crews Gain Crucial New Hand Held Computer Link To Emergency
Ambulance crews are to gain a crucial new tool to help them get speedy access to information on everything from advice on resuscitation drugs doses, to data on toxic chemicals and poisons thanks to a new Ambulance Crew Electronic Pocket Guide for Personal Digital Assistants, designed by the University of Warwick, being launched at the Ambulance Service Association Conference. Increased Availability Of Genetically Altered Mice To Aid Studies Of H
The National Institutes of Health will provide $4.8 million to establish and support a repository for its Knockout Mouse Project. This award is the final component of a more than $50 million initiative to increase the availability of genetically altered mice and related materials. Accurate taste perception relies on a properly functioning olfactory s
As anyone suffering through a head cold knows, food tastes wrong when the nose is clogged, an experience that leads many to conclude that the sense of taste operates normally only when the olfactory system is also in good working order. Evidence that the taste system influences olfactory perception, however, has been vanishingly rare -- until now.
