...testing negative, she separated from her husband. "I didn't know what I wanted anymore," she says. "A lot of decisions I made didn't make sense. I just wanted to be free." After the discovery of the Huntington's gene in 1993 and the development of a virtually error-free test, Ruth was retested. Again, negative. She has since remarried, had a third son and trained as a physical therapist. Often she works with HD patients...
Meanwhile, the Crimson offensive attack continued to impress, both through the air and on the ground. Sophomore quarterback Rich Linden (14-24, 193 yards, 3 TD) played a smart, error-free game, despite having to leave the game for a play in the second quarter after a hard hit.

More than a bit. In fact, the entire history of serotonin and of drugs that affect it has been largely a process of trial and error marked by chance discoveries, surprise connections and unanticipated therapeutic effects.

It was stumbled on in the late 1940s by U.S. and Italian researchers, working independently, in blood platelets and in the intestines, respectively. The Italians called it enteramine, the Americans serotonin (sero for blood, tonin for muscle tone)--and when the two groups compared notes, they found their compounds were identical...
...behavior. She knows the routes well, having written a cover story on another brain chemical, dopamine, and its role in addiction. Last week she looked at the natural antidepressant St. John's wort. Nash brought her usual clear-sightedness to the murky workings of serotonin and the trial-and-error science that brought forth beneficial--and potentially deadly--serotonin-enhancing drugs such as fen/phen. Nash's work has won the respect of scientists: she recently became an honorary member of Sigma Xi, a prestigious scientific-research society...
