...dominance, jumping out to a 3-0 start as junior Alisha Mashruwala won three straight 11-5 contests against Sarah Crosky at the No. 2 spot. Co-Captain Katherine O’Donnell, playing at the No. 4 position, seized a commanding win over the Bears’ Kali Schellenberg...
...also some overlap between the areas of the brain most responsive to music and those used in spatial reasoning. But beyond that, there's little certainty as to why some pieces of music stimulate more than others - and even less understanding of music's sometimes soothing effects. Glenn Schellenberg, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, built on Rauscher's study by comparing the effects of a happy-sounding Mozart piece to a sad-sounding Albinoni piece, and then testing to see if music by the British rock band Blur had a bigger impact. (The answer...
...cited in the latter article, make a conscious decision to study, work, and spend time in Harvard Square because it is special. Students in search of fast food might consider that, like their Harvard degrees, the effort required to get the prize only makes it taste the sweeter. Catherine Schellenberg, Harvard University Staff
...mystery indeed is solved, the benefits could be enormous. Schellenberg suspects that the same helicase deficit that accelerates senescence in Werner's sufferers might, in a more measured form, cause aging in others. To prove this, he will create a strain of mouse that carries a mutant helicase gene so that he can learn how the enzyme works, and more important, how it can be manipulated. Depending upon what Schellenberg learns from these mice, it might be possible to sidestep genetics and simply use helicase boosters to slow aging in both Werner's patients and healthy people...
Running parallel to Schellenberg's work is research being conducted at the New York State Institute for Basic Research into the more devastating Werner's-like disorder known as progeria. People suffering from progeria grow old precociously too, but at a much faster rate; they are claimed by the infirmities of age in their 20s or teens. W. Ted Brown, chairman of the Institute's Department of Human Genetics, believes that progeria, like Werner's, is triggered by a single mutated gene. That genetic miswiring, however, may stimulate activity in the countless other genes that play a role in aging...
