Laughing to make friends and influence others.   Mozart 'can cut epilepsy' - Music, particularly Mozart, could have a therapeutic effect on epilepsy, say scientists.   Natural Selection: Evolving evolvability - In yeast, a modified protein known as a prion generates variation in growth rate across diverse environments. Is this an example of an agent that has evolved in order to promote its possessor's adaptability?   Neanderthal DNA: Not just old but old and cold? - The retrieval of ancient DNA from two Neanderthal skeletons found at Mezmaiskaya in Russia and Feldhofer in Germany has fueled demand for more of the same. But a group of British experts has warned the science community to beware.   Negative genetic correlation between male sexual attractiveness and survival - Here I show that sexual attractiveness in male guppies (Poecilia reticulata) is heritable and genetically correlated with ornamentation.   Neuroanatomical basis for first- and second-order representations of bodily states - Our findings provide empirical support for a theory proposing a hierarchical representation of bodily states.   Neurobiology of laughter - Did you hear the one about the prefrontal cortex?   Neuroethology and the philosophy of cognitive science - Online paper by Brian L. Keeley.   Neurons derived from radial glial cells establish radial units in neocortex - Here we show that clones consist of mitotic radial glia and postmitotic neurons, and that neurons migrate along clonally related radial glia.   Neurophysiology: Good memories of bad events in infancy - We found that very young rat pups exposed to various odours associated with shock treatment learn an approach response to that odour, whereas older pups learn odour avoidance.   Origins of the specious - Andrew Brown explains why 'Introducing Evolutionary Psychology', the latest in Icon Books' popular series of comic books on important subjects, has been withdrawn from sale while 10,000 stickers are pasted over the face of Steven Rose.   Palaeoanthropology and politics - Norman Levitt reflects on the Kennewick Man affair.   Paleolithic Pit Stop - A French site suggests Neandertals and early modern humans behaved similarly.   Perfect pitch may help babies speak - US researchers say everyone may be born with perfect pitch to help them learn the skills of language.   Pinker and the Brain - Cognitive scientist Steven Pinker plumbs the evolutionary origins of language and behavior while keeping his detractors at bay.   Prediction and Accommodation in Evolutionary Psychology - Ketelaar and Ellis have provided a remarkably clear and succinct statement of Lakatosian philosophy of science and have also argued compellingly that evolutionary theory fills the Lakatosian criteria of a progressivity.   Psychological brain damage - Martin Teicher and colleagues report four types of brain damage caused by psychological abuse.     [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] Help build the largest human-edited directory on the web.   Submit a Site - Open Directory Project - Become an Editor
