...just means you can feel things beyond normal sensing. Everyone has this ability to a certain extent; other people call it a gut feeling. For those people, something "just tells you to do this." But for me, it's not some thing - it's someone. I never refer to this as a power because I don't like to put myself on a pedestal. I prefer to say that I have an ability that's more fine-tuned...
...disease but took insulin along with one additional medication to control blood sugar (typically metformin or glyburide) had 80% fewer brain-clogging amyloid plaques in their brain. Build up of these protein plaques, which are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, can interfere with normal communication between nerve cells and cause deficits in memory and cognition. "The group on combination therapy had a very, very low load of neuritic plaques," Beeri says. "Their brains looked almost like normal people." The medications did not, however, do much to reduce the number of tangles - the fibrous nerve nets that...
Beeri and her group are already trying to figure out how - and why - the combination therapies might curb plaque formation but leave the tangles alone. One theory is that the drugs normalize the communication network of insulin receptors, which go awry in the Alzheimer's brain, somehow restoring those pathways to as close to normal as possible, while clearing out the damaging plaques that form when the network malfunctions. "Our hypothesis is that with the combination therapy, the gene and protein expression of these Alzheimer's patients might be close to that of normal people who don't have Alzheimer...
...former airline safety analyst at Boeing. It usually means that the pilots are trying to get the plane low enough so that the outside air is breathable for humans. Says Curtis: "It may seem like the aircraft is going through a radical maneuver, and it is radical compared to normal flying, but this is standard protocol...
...nights ago, I had a handful of M&M's. In fact, I can tell you I ate seven of the peanut kind, which is my favorite. Under normal circumstances, I would've simply grabbed a bunch, mindlessly eaten them while talking to a colleague and forgotten them entirely...
