‘Holy Grail’ of Hearing: True Identity of Pivotal Hearing Structure Is Revealed – September 5, 2007
Our ability to hear is made possible by way of a Rube Goldberg-style
process in which sound vibrations entering the ear shake and jostle
a successive chain of structures until, lo and behold, they are
converted into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the
brain. Exactly how the electrical signal is generated has been
the subject of ongoing research interest. Continue reading

New Study Examines Brain-Gut Relationship in those Suffering with Stomach Pain or Discomfort (Functional Dyspepsia) – September 5, 2007
A new clinical study will explore the brain-gut interaction in
patients with functional dyspepsia and whether certain drugs can
effectively relieve symptoms of this disorder. Functional dyspepsia
is a costly and chronic disorder that can cause severe stomach
pain often reported as cramping, bloating, and gas, or great discomfort
or fullness after eating. The study is funded by the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) at six medical centers in the U.S. Continue reading

Rates of Bipolar Diagnosis in Youth Rapidly Climbing, Treatment Patterns Similar to Adults – September 3, 2007
The number of visits to a doctor’s office that resulted in a diagnosis
of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents has increased by
40 times over the last decade, reported researchers funded in part
by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Over the same time
period, the number of visits by adults resulting in a bipolar disorder
diagnosis almost doubled. The cause of these increases is unclear.
Medication prescription patterns for the two groups were similar.
The study was published in the September 2007 issue of the Continue reading
