Does Stress Damage The Brain? on 2009-12-17
- The authors measured the gray matter density of the brains of combat-exposed Vietnam veterans, some with and some without PTSD, and their combat-unexposed identical twins using a technology called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The detailed images provided by the MRI scans then allowed the investigators to compare specific brain regions of the siblings. They found that the gray matter density of the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, an area of the brain involved in emotional functioning, was reduced in veterans with PTSD, but not in their twins who had not experienced combat.
  
  According to Dr. Pitman, "this finding supports the conclusion that the psychological stress resulting from the traumatic stressor may damage this brain region, with deleterious emotional consequences."

- A Healthy Family Social Environment May Reduce Schizophrenia Risk by 86% for High Genetic Risk Groups
- Published In: The British Journal of Psychiatry (2004)
- 4 more annotations...
- - Many of the common risk genes for schizophrenia are seen in healthy people, and they never develop the disorder
  - The results of this study suggest that there are protective family environmental factors that may reduce the schizophrenia risk for a susceptible child by up to 86%.
  - In this study, 36.8% of high-genetic risk adoptees living in a dysfunctional family environment were found to have developed a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder, compared to only 5.8% of those in a healthy family environment.
  - This evidence suggests that people with high-genetic risk for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders receive a protective effect of the healthy family environment of 86% decrease in risk. The study suggests that children with genetic or biological liability for schizophrenia and related disorders may be sensitive to both difficult (volatile, unpredictable, judgmental or hostile) and overly protective or isolated environmental conditions.
Schizophrenia Cause and Prevention on 2009-12-17
- Environmental factors later in life (during early childhood
  and adolescence) can either damage the brain further and thereby increase
  the risk of schizophrenia, or lessen the expression of genetic or neurodevelopmental
  defects and decrease the risk of schizophrenia.

SanDisk's Sansa Fuze: An iPod Nano killer? : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech on 2009-04-07
- I've been listening to tunes over my Shure SE110 earphones, and the Fuze's audio quality sounded pretty good to me,
- The player also comes with a trio of key features missing in the Nano: an FM radio (which programs your presets automatically), voice recording (a tiny, built-in mic sits on the left spine of the Fuze), and a microSD slot for memory expansion.
- 3 more annotations...
- - So far, so good—and indeed, if you care more about tunes than video, the Fuze beats the Nano by a nose, especially given its subscription music support and bargain price.
  - That said, I was bummed by the Fuze's video abilities. While video playback on the Fuze looks just fine, most MPEG4 video files mus
  - So, with its access to a wealth of TV shows and movies via iTunes, the Nano gets the edge in the video department. But if you're more interesting in music than video, the bargain-priced Fuze looks like your best bet.
The Caffeine Web » Psychosis on 2009-04-06
- “The symptoms of caffeine overdose are varied and bizarre and could be easily misinterpreted….Coffee overindulgence is overlooked many times because the bizarre symptoms may resemble and masquerade as an organic or mental disease.”
- Clinical nutritionist: Caffeinated persons are routinely “misdiagnosed as neurotic or even psychotic”
- 1 more annotations...
- - “In over a decade of practice as a clinical nutritionist, I have seen firsthand, with thousands of clients, that caffeine is a health hazard. Anxiety, muscle aches, PMS, headaches….However, if that’s all caffeine has done to you, you’re lucky. What about people misdiagnosed as neurotic or even psychotic, who spend years and small fortunes in psychotherapy–all because no one asked them about their caffeine intake?”
