...involve not only the original area, but other organs or tissues as well. It can, however, be combined with other systemic treatments, such as chemotherapy, to treat metastatic disease, and has often been used to treat solid metastatic tumors most commonly found in the lungs, liver, spine and brain. And the technology is continually evolving. The company's Synchrony program allows doctors to irradiate lung tumors by synchronizing the robotic arm with the rise and fall of a patient's breathing. Says Thomson: "Our dream is that we'll make radiosurgery an option for every cancer patient...
...rocket scientist to know that music is a wonderful thing. But being a neuroscientist might help, at least according to Oliver Sacks. Sacks, it’s true, is no ordinary scientist, and his latest collection of essays, “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain,” is not simply a dry scientific exploration of the connection between neurology and music, as we might expect from other scientists-turned-writers. Rather, it is an original, elegantly crafted, and inspiring investigation of the distinctly human obsession with all things musical.“What an odd thing...
...perform markedly worse on the task at hand: They selected the good symbols from the bad about as often as participants who didn't have the allele. The results suggest that learning - though influenced by dopamine - is a complex process that involves much more than one kind of brain receptor. "It's just one factor that may contribute to some problems that might arise in some people," says Markus Ullsperger, a co-author of the Science paper, based at the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research in Cologne.

We make choices, which then affect our brain chemistry. In trying to be scientific, we often reverse the relationship. While Jeffrey Kluger may value the choices we make, he did not use the word choices in his examination of morality. The connection we have with our community is a powerful factor in how we choose to behave, of course, and we do place others outside our community...
