...reduces a serious learning disability to the mere flick of a neural switch and because, by doing so, it holds out a tantalizing possibility that one day a cure may be as simple as flicking that switch in reverse. Cohen Kadosh hopes the result will allow scientists to develop a diagnostic tool for dyscalculia based on neuroimaging. Identifying children with developmental dyscalculia would let parents intervene earlier to teach important math concepts, just as they can intervene today to help dyslexic children read better...

The greatest danger that HPV poses is that it may cause pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, vulva, anus, or penis. Pre-cancerous cervical changes (by far the most common among these four) can be detected by a pap smear; medical follow-up can ensure that pre-cancerous changes...
