Contrary to popular opinion, I don't work ALL the time, I do take some times to play games like MINESWEEPER!
Here is what I am reading today:
“This study examined the relationship between previous dietary adherence during a low-calorie diet weight loss intervention and subsequent weight change during a 2-year follow-up for weight maintenance.”
“How does a nose generate the signals that the brain registers as smell? The conventional theory says it’s down to the different shapes of smelly molecules. But fruit flies have now distinguished between two molecules with identical shapes, providing the first experimental evidence to support a controversial theory that the sense of smell can operate by detecting molecular vibrations.”
“A dozen brain regions, working together, create feelings of passionate love. Stephanie Ortigue of Syracuse University and her colleagues worldwide compared MRI studies of people who indicated they were either in love or were experiencing maternal or unconditional love. The comparison revealed a “passion network”—the red regions shown here at various angles. The network releases neurotransmitters and other chemicals in the brain and blood that create the sensations of attraction, arousal, pleasure…and obsession.”
“People who smoke cigarettes or have smoked in the past may be more likely to develop Lou Gehrig’s disease
, according to a new study. The disease slowly kills the neurons that send messages between the brain and the rest of the body, causing patients to lose control of their muscles — including those that are essential for eating and breathing. Most people who are diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, don’t survive more than five years after the diagnosis.”
