...extra days off gave audiences a chance to catch up on hits they'd missed; four of the session's top five slots were occupied by holdovers. The apocalyptic travesty 2012 landed in third place. In less than three weeks it has earned $486.9 million worldwide, 71% coming from overseas. (The movie has something for folks everywhere: Europe and Asia get destroyed along with the U.S.) After biding its time since early November, A Christmas Carol saw a 30% bump from the previous weekend, to finish fifth. Audiences decided, since they had started their Christmas shopping, that it might...
With over 50% of the House participating and a whole extra day of dining hall skits, Kirkland should be high on holiday cheer. With the "Single Ladies" dance being so 2008, however, the floor is open for the next big thing. What will it be? You’ll have to check back to find...

...single gene injected into the monkeys was coded for the naturally occurring protein follistatin, which blocks the function of another protein called myostatin that hinders muscle growth. Past research in mice that were genetically engineered to have an extra copy of the follistatin-producing gene has shown that blocking myostatin, by increasing follistatin, causes muscles to bulk up fast. What Kaspar and his team found was that the same effect could be achieved simply by injecting genes - ferried aboard a small, non-disease-causing virus known as AAV, or adeno-associated virus - into the muscle. They further discovered that once...
...findings suggest that when dopamine is present during an imagined event - that is, even when you're not actually experiencing it in person - it still influences how much pleasure the brain will expect from it in the future. Researchers think the extra shot of dopamine may aid learning - that is, it boosts your brain's learned association between pleasure and whatever experience you're thinking about at the time. Or perhaps, the authors speculate, the extra dopamine makes us simply want something more while we're imagining it. In other words, it would be useful to have...
