...larger population would be exceedingly limited - if not impossible. For one thing, the evidence for fMRI-based lie detection is still conflicted: Although past studies have associated prefrontal-cortex activity with lying, researchers have yet to reach a consensus, and Greene's latest findings suggest that activity in the prefrontal cortex may in fact represent truth-telling in some people. "There is a great deal of variation between the findings described, and, crucially, there is an absence of replication by investigators of their own findings," wrote Sean Spence, a well-respected deception researcher at the University of Sheffield...
...mistake was to suggest that we would hold and participate in an off-the-record dinner with journalists and power brokers paid for by a sponsor.' KATHARINE WEYMOUTH, publisher of the Washington Post, after the newspaper sent out flyers advertising $25,000 "sponsorships" for an exclusive salon at her home in which lobbyists could meet with White House officials and the Post reporters who cover them...
...clinicians and researchers say screening is intended not as a diagnostic tool but as a way to identify patients who need further evaluation. Studies suggest that PPD affects as many as 1 out of 7 mothers and that failing to treat it exposes women and their babies to unwarranted risk. "Postpartum depression is not a benign, uncommon thing. We screen all infants for [the genetic disorder] phenylketonuria, which is extremely rare. Why don't we screen women for this?" asks University of Pittsburgh Medical Center psychiatrist Katherine Wisner...
...results suggest that as girls progress from early puberty to late adolescence, certain regions of their brains become more active when they face a potential social interaction. Specifically, when an older girl anticipates meeting someone new - someone she believes will be interested in her - her nucleus accumbens (which is associated with reward and motivation), hypothalamus (associated with hormone secretion), hippocampus (associated with social learning) and insula (associated with subjective feelings) all become more active. By contrast, boys in the same situation show no such increase in activity in these areas. In fact, the activity in their insula actually declines. (Read...
...trying to suggest that they have put aside their intention to drive Western forces out of Afghanistan, and I do not believe that al-Qaeda has put aside its intention to launch further attacks on the West. Far from it. Increasing casualty rates in the region, both among locals and among NATO troops, proves that they are actually more violent and more dangerous. But one opportunity that comes out of this is that they are also far more hated by the local population. If you read the reports coming out of Swat, out of Southern Afghanistan, out of Kandahar, Helmand...
