...nearly 8-min. lead on his closest competitor, a big cushion in this 20-stage race. And if his lead holds, Armstrong's achievement will be all the more remarkable. "The Tour de France is like running a marathon every day for 20 days," says Mark Gorski, manager of the U.S. Postal Service team, for which Armstrong rides. "Very few sporting events are that demanding...
There are simpler explanations--stress, for example. "Think about it," says Roger Gorski, a neurobiologist at UCLA who has studied rats' sexual behavior for 30 years. "These people undergo a lot of emotional trauma. To cut everything off to become a woman has got to be awfully stressful, and that has got to affect brain structures...
When Saul L. Chafin left as police chief a decade ago, the department stood at its apex. He had been widely credited for rebuilding morale after the troubled tenure of David L. Gorski, who was criticized for the same conduct Johnson now stands accused of being maccessible, arbitrary in decision-making and unapproachable. Chafin himself was so well-respected--and morale was so high that he received, by one count, five going away parties...
These conjectures about the corpus callosum have been hard to prove because the structure's girth varies dramatically with both age and health. Studies of autopsied material are of little use because brain tissue undergoes such dramatic changes in the hours after death. Neuroanatomist Laura Allen and neuroendocrinologist Roger Gorski of UCLA decided to try to circumvent some of these problems by obtaining brain scans from live, apparently healthy people. In their investigation of 146 subjects, published in April, they confirmed that parts of the corpus callosum were up to 23% wider in women than in men. They also measured...
...Even more intriguing, the UCLA researcher has learned that sex hormones (or the lack thereof) affect the anatomy of a rat's brain. Buried deep beneath the cerebral folds, Gorski discovered a part of the brain that appears to be involved in regulating sexual behavior and is five times as large in males as in females. But without testosterone this specialized region shrinks in castrated subjects. "In rats, sexual behavior is totally dependent on hormones," concludes Gorski. In humans, he allows, things are not nearly so simple...
