...Kosslyn wrote. At age 35, Buckner is considered to be the best researcher of his age group in the field, Kosslyn wrote, and is also unusually young to be awarded tenure at Harvard. Buckner has distinguished himself through innovative research techniques in fMRI and his work on the brain and memory. In one study, Buckner found that it was possible to predict, on average, what new information a research subject would remember later by observing certain pathways in brain functioning. Buckner said in an interview yesterday that he has also focused on the effects of aging and disease on memory...
Gaghan wrote the script for Traffic, whose three complex story lines director Steven Soderbergh helpfully tinted in different colors. Nothing like that in Syriana. It zigzags from the Middle East to Europe to the U.S. as if to test both your patience and your eye-brain coordination. Yet the film does see the world in three colors: black, for the oil that brings out man's cunning and killer instinct; gray, for the shades of honor and self-interest by which the main players try to define themselves; and red, for the blood spilled in Allah...
...Others struggle to see any role for the SSRIs. As they see it, if depressed people's brain chemistry isn't messed up before they start taking the drugs, it's stone-cold certain that it will be once they're on them.

The most she can say for the SSRIs is that some of them are mildly sedating, "and this...
When all that’s left of brain break are cookie crumbs and stale bread, when Noch’s has closed its doors for the night, when one just can’t stomach those oily 7/11 sausages, and when a cup-o-noodles just won’t get the job done, the hungry Harvardian might be driven to the very precipice of despair. Until he realizes his salvation: that bastion of the burrito, king of the quesadilla, and redeemer of the ravenous undergraduate. Yes, the one and only Felipe’s. Unfortunately, it seems that...
...sense of skewed reality pervades the design of the play. We are confronted throughout by a giant portrait of Lenin painted on a broken wall, gazing down disapprovingly. His stern demeanor is broken, however, by jars (the brain-containing type) placed in alcoves cut out of the wall close to the ground and later, more strikingly, by backlit X-rays of people harmed by radiation, which shine out from Lenin’s formerly implacable face. Adding to the alternate-reality effect is the use of stilts for the party leaders and fat suits (and in one case, a costume...
