That specific part is found at the front of the hypothalamus in an area of the brain that is known to help regulate male sexual behavior. Within this site, LeVay looked at four different groupings of cells, technically referred to as the interstitial nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus, or INAH for short. Other researchers had already reported that INAH 2 and 3 were larger in men than in women. LeVay hypothesized that one or both of them might vary with sexual orientation as well...
...today's matchup with the Blue Devils, Harvard will have to contend with the dangerous inside play of senior Sue Harnett. The 6'4" center is coming off anterior cruciate ligament damage to her knee, an injury she sustained in the finals of last year's Classic. But Harnett compiled impressive numbers (19.5 ppg., 8.7 rpg.) the previous season and it will be up to Crimson center Debbie Flandermeyer to neutralize...
...weren't for the anterior cruciate ligaments in Catliff's right knee--which he tore the summer after his junior year, forcing him to sit out last season--they would never have shared the turf for the Crimson...
...were too narrow, he ordered the right leg opened and its saphenous vein removed. Taking two pieces of this vein, which proved to be of heavier caliber, he anchored them to the aorta; then he attached one to the posterior descending coronary artery, the other to the left anterior descending artery. In effect, he had used the first three bypasses to clear traffic through the clogged local streets-and the aortic bypasses to provide two expressways for additional free flow...
...most important artery, the posterior tibial, was destroyed for a length of several inches and was beyond repair. The smaller anterior tibial artery had lost only 1½ inches. By taking out splintered bone and shortening the leg slightly, the surgeons were able to pull the two ends of the artery together. Then they drilled through the bone above and below the fracture and inserted four stainless-steel pins; they held the projecting ends of the pins together with steel bars and surgical screws. With everything firmly in place, Dr. Byers and his assistant finished the delicate task of repairing...
