...some point, the system will never be fixed. It is simply unacceptable that no dining hall is open past 7:30 p.m. at a college where, according to Undergraduate Council (UC) survey data, over 50 percent of undergraduates stay up past 2 a.m. Sure, there’s always brain break, but even the most parsimonious undergrad wouldn’t call some cookies and an apple a healthy or filling meal—and that’s assuming the brain break food lasts long enough. There’s certainly no disagreement about the benefits of more reasonable...
...historian, Hyman’s presence in Mass. Hall will be a great boon to Faust’s early tenure. Hyman’s expertise on efforts to expand interdisciplinary science initiatives will also be valuable for Faust. From his appointment to lead the newly-created Mind, Brain, and Behavior program at Harvard in 1994 to his close involvement with the University Planning Committee on Science and Engineering and his vocal support of the creation of University-wide departments today, Hyman personifies academic collaboration and progress at Harvard. Interdisciplinarity is an issue that Faust will need to address immediately...
Although the results are undeniable, it's still unclear what's going on in the patients' brains. The researchers will start to explore this question next summer by taking pictures of the brain before and after surgery using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanners. Since the brain devotes roughly 35% of its power to vision, they hypothesize that when this sense is compromised, others, like smell and touch, take over the visual-processing circuits. After surgery, they suspect, the sense of sight reclaims its territory inside the brain...
...well - that created this war's unprecedented number of recovering outpatients. In past wars, injured soldiers were treated and discharged to VA hospitals for follow-up care. Walter Reed has kept them longer to improve use of the latest prostheses or ease post traumatic stress disorder and mild brain injuries, maladies rarely diagnosed in Vietnam...
...Walter Reed shouldn't be punished for extending its top-notch medical services to soldiers longer than military hospitals have in past conflicts. A leading center for amputations and brain injury, it has achieved amazing breakthroughs and revived function and hope for soldiers who would have died in past conflicts...
