Scientists have also learned that the old notion that 90% of sex is in the mind is literally true: the parts of the brain involved in sexual response include, at the very least, the sensory vagus nerves, the midbrain reticular formation, the basal ganglia, the anterior insula cortex, the amygdala, the cerebellum and the hypothalamus...
...became the youngest member of the Austrian team, winning world championships in the super-G and the combined downhill and slalom. But then came the injuries. A torn ligament in practice for the 1992 Albertville Games, a broken collarbone later in the year and a torn anterior cruciate ligament in 1994 kept him off the piste. Poor form in 1995-1996 prompted the coaches to drop him from the World Cup team to the less competitive Europa Cup, where he dominated the 1996-97 season and returned to World Cup racing...

She missed the remainder of that season due to the injury, but has returned to contribute to the Crimson squad this year...
...scan the brains of 17 students who said they were in love. He showed them pictures of their sweethearts and found that there were four particular parts of the brain that showed increased activity and blood flow. The areas that lighted up are part of the anterior cingulate cortex, which is near the brain's midline; the middle insula, which is deep in the brain; and part of the putamen and caudate nucleus. As it turns out, these are not the same precincts of the brain that light up for a feeling of simple lust. So, yes, love does exist...
...knee injury--damage to the anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL. As increasing numbers of young women lace up their cleats and head out onto the field, more are showing up in infirmaries and operating rooms with a partly torn or completely ruptured ACL. This is a lot more serious than an ankle sprain or a jammed finger. The ACL is the knee's most important stabilizer and if severely injured can require surgical repair and cause permanent, perhaps career-ending damage...
