...request of students and their parents marks a responsible move from HUDS. Eating concerns are rampant at Harvard among all sexes, and too often it is an issue that goes ignored. The removal of the cards indicates that higher-up figures at Harvard are responsive to students’ mental health concerns. Now, the eating experience at Harvard can be further improved by adopting a holistic approach to healthy eating...
...round. “It’s natural to feel like you’ve had something taken away from you,” Harvard coach Kevin Rhoads said regarding the situation yesterday. “And something like that can really distract you. It was a real mental test for us [yesterday] to ignore what was thrown out [Saturday].” Operating under the assumption that the scores would indeed not count, Rhoads attempted to rally his squad at dinner Saturday.

...neurons in the brain regions that control the fingers. Studies of London cab drivers, who must memorize all the city's streets, show that they have an unusually large hippocampus, a structure involved in memory. Giedd's research suggests that the cerebellum, an area that coordinates both physical and mental activities, is particularly responsive to experience, but he warns that it's too soon to know just what drives the buildup and pruning phases. He's hoping his studies of twins will help answer such questions: "We're looking at what they eat, how they spend their time...

Some scientists now believe that ADHD and Tourette's syndrome, which typically appear by the time a child reaches age 7, may be related to the brain proliferation period. Though both disorders have genetic roots, the rapid growth of brain tissue in early childhood, especially in regions rich in dopamine, "may set the stage for the increase in motor activities and tics," says Dr. Martin Teicher, director of developmental biopsychiatry research at McLean...
