...unaffected peers. Perhaps they just had more fear circuits to contend with? Neuroscientists are tempted to say yes, but they admit the conclusion is pretty speculative. Another group of researchers found that patients with post-traumatic stress disorder had a smaller hippocampus than normal. Perhaps their stressful experiences had somehow interfered with the hippocampus' ability to make new memories and, just as important, forget the old ones? Again, no one knows for sure...

...relationship between anxiety and depression. Researchers know that adults who suffer from depression were often very anxious as children. (It's also true that many kids outgrow their anxiety disorders to become perfectly well-adjusted adults.) Is that just a coincidence, as many believe, or does anxiety somehow prime the brain to become depressed later in life? Brain scans show that the amygdala is very active in depressed patients, even when they are sleeping. Studies of twins suggest that many of the same genes could be involved. "There's a lot of overlap," says Dr. Dennis Charney, chief...

...arrest for domestic violence somehow humanized him, it also punished him in the way that must have hurt him most: he was no longer well liked. Phoenix fans were glad to see him go.

The authors caution that "with the adrenaline pumping, we can work ourselves into believing that we are somehow different, and therefore not subject to the normal human frailties that can defeat ordinary mortals on ordinary missions." Anchor yourself, say the authors, by distinguishing your role from your self, by keeping personal confidants (as distinguished from allies), by seeking emotional sanctuary and love, and by exercising and otherwise taking care of yourself, body and soul...

...literature?quite literally?that saves him. In an astonishing climax, a desperate letter dispatched from Khoo Thwe's rebel camp somehow reaches Dr. Casey, who, with the help of an ex-SAS officer, smuggles the young Padaung out of his jungle nightmare and into the hushed cloisters of Caius College, Cambridge. A happy ending, then? Not entirely. As Khoo Thwe sadly (and guiltily) acknowledges, for each miraculous success story like his own there are thousands of bright young Burmese whose futures remain blighted by a repressive regime. Khoo Thwe is clearly still haunted by the "green ghosts," and not even...
