Jefferson oncologists show focused radiation is effective as surgery against nerve tumor
Specifically aimed, "stereotactic" radiation may be as good as surgery - and in some cases, even better - in treating benign but potentially devastating brain tumors called non-acoustic schwannomas. view more (2007-10-31)
Why white light is best for our town centres
White lighting is twice as good at letting you see the face of someone else as that from the yellow light from high pressure sodium lamps commonly used to light our streets, according to new research sponsored by the ESRC and published as part of Social Science week. It can therefore allow the same facial recognition as conventional sodium... view more... (2004-06-22)

Financial risk-taking behavior is associated with higher testosterone levels
Higher levels of testosterone are correlated with financial risk-taking behavior, according to a new study in which men's testosterone levels were assessed before participation in an investment game. The findings help to shed light on the evolutionary function and biological origins of risk taking. view more (2008-09-30)
Gene-on-gene interactions may influence risk for developing alcoholism
Not only do both genes and environment have an impact on the development of alcohol-use disorders, but now researchers have found that certain genes may influence scientists' ability to interpret other genes' effects. One variant of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene - the ADH1B genotype - appears to be able to influence level of response (LR)... view more... (2006-08-28)
