...with echoes and added effects sprinkled into the background and a low, raw bass at times. Up seems to take a lot of the positives from New Adventures in Hi-Fi and combines them with traditional R.E.M. The absence of Berry, who left as the result of a brain aneurysm during the Monster Tour, translates itself into an exotic mixture of spacey beats on several tracks. Screaming Trees drummer Barret Martin and Beck's Joey Waronker add occasional human drumming, but in reality, the drumming doesn't play too major a role in the guitar and vocal-driven group...
...Feeling brain-dead? Don?t worry ?- your tired old gray matter may work hard for you yet. Research to be published November in the journal Nature Medicine suggests that at least one area of the adult brain can reproduce and generate new cells, even after death. That is, of course, utterly contrary to everything we thought about the brain up until now. It was assumed that at some point in your grown-up life, brain cells stopped generating and started dying off. Not true -? at least not in the hippocampus, according to a team of American and Swedish scientists...
...results confirm a number of other studies made ?- but essentially ignored -- over the past 30 years, which saw the same growth occur in the same area of the brain in rats and birds. The hippocampus is our learning and memory center -? and in adult birds, it grew every time they learned new songs. Could lifelong education literally boost your brainpower? "We have to try to determine whether we might be able to have some positive control over how the human brain cells divide," said Dr. Fred Gage, the team leader.

And yet she slashed education and research funding, pinching Oxford as tightly as the network of polytechnic schools that might have eased Britain's working classes into the new era. She was directly responsible for Britain's "brain drain"; at a time when the rest of the Western world was swelling with emigres from the East, scientists and scholars fled the country for America and Europe. In great part thanks to Thatcher, you can spend your sections gazing wistfully at your perfectly accented British teaching fellow...
Scientists report a promising new treatment for Parkinson's disease. A study of advanced and even bedridden cases shows that electrically stimulating the brain with implanted electrodes reduces symptoms dramatically. Indeed, most patients who underwent the procedure were well enough to perform everyday tasks again--even while cutting back on their medication...
