...last week’s issue of the scientific journal “Cell,” a mutation in a single gene that controls production of the protein stathmin can embolden mice to make them more willing to explore and less likely to fear painful or dangerous stimuli. Vadim Y. Bolshakov—director of McLean Hospital’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School (HMS)—said that the study’s findings could serve as a launching point for research in psychiatric medicine. “Stathmin...

Instead, Fonda spends most of her free time at the multiplex (she loved The Aviator and Finding Neverland) or with her family. Her once contentious relationship with daughter Vanessa Vadim, 36, has improved. Vadim and her two young children, as well as Fonda's other daughter, Mary Luana Williams (known as Lulu), 36, an African American whom Fonda unofficially adopted when Williams was about 13, live nearby. Troy Garity, 31, her son with Tom Hayden, lives in Los Angeles...
