Getting To The Bottom Of Memory: Researchers Investigate The Molecular
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's (EMBL) Mouse Biology Unit in Monterotondo, Italy, and the Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Sevilla, Spain, now for the first time investigate the molecular basis of memory in living mice. The study, which appears in the current issue of Learning and Memory, identified a molecule that is crucially involved in learning and singled out the signaling pathway through which it affects memory. Warning For Women Who Binge Drink: Bladder Can Rupture
As levels of binge drinking in the UK rise, doctors report three cases of bladder rupture in women who attended hospital with lower abdominal pain.
