If you could regulate this gene expression in humans, you probably could treat anxiety disorders,” Bolshakov said. The genetic mutation made it impossible for the mice to produce stathmin. The brain activity of the mutant mice showed that they had difficulties strengthening connections between their nerve...

In this case, the devil was in the details: some basic common sense could have spared hundreds of Harvard students an afternoon of stress, worry, and uncertainly in an unfamiliar place.Given the trust that hundreds of students had placed in the UC by purchasing shuttle tickets, it would have hardly been unreasonable for the entire UC to be called into action Saturday morning, distributing flyers about the change at the game and the tailgate...
