Progress in the study of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

2009-07-02T22:12:00.002-03:00

NIMH- Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Share Genetic Roots
"A trio of genome-wide studies – collectively the largest to date – has pinpointed a vast array of genetic variation that cumulatively may account for at least one third of the genetic risk for schizophrenia. One of the studies traced schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, in part, to the same chromosomal neighborhoods."

PICTURES: Prehistoric European Cave Artists Were Female
"We don't know what the roles of artists were in Upper Paleolithic society [roughly 40,000 to 20,000 years ago] generally," he said. "But it's a step forward to be able to say that a strong majority of them were women."

Boring Lecturer??

25 ways to have fun with...
#11. Bring a small cactus to class with you. Raise your hand and when you're called on say that the cactus has a question. Turn and look at the cactus as if you're waiting for it to say something. After a few moments shrug and wait for your lecturer to move on. Do this once a day and become increasingly irritated with the cactus every time sighing heavily and giving it evil looks when it fails to "speak." When you leave the room after class start yelling at the cactus "I can't believe you embarrassed me AGAIN...."

This was fun to watch. Rough and really goofy but all the potential for refinement is fun to imagine. I instantly thought of the novel I just finished reading Halting State by Charles Stross. I was waiting for them to do a medical scanner Start Treck move with a finger and get a medical readout of their health too but I am sure reading toilet paper packages seemed more relevant.
