...link between protective mental health benefits and estrogen therapy appears to conflict with the findings of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), which found that women who took estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestin from age 65 increased their risk of mild impairment or dementia - along with other cardiovascular problems. But the authors of the Neurology studies stress that the age-dependent window is key when considering therapy and mental health. "Below 50, estrogen is protective. After 65 it is harmful. But nobody really knows between 50 and 65," says Rocca. "In the middle it's still unclear...

Though hundreds of villagers fled their homes and two women were wounded, such cross-border violence is becoming a regular feature of life in the north. But yesterday's attack could also be a prelude to a larger struggle...
...they used genetic engineering to create a mouse without this crucial gene and devised an experiment to test the hypothesis. The mice were guided into a box where they would get a mild foot shock; they would react by freezing. Then they were guided into a very similar box with no shock. The altered mice would freeze in the safe box as well, and it took them a long time to figure out the difference. Normal mice figured it out pretty quickly...
