In my systems neurobiology lab this morning, my professor tipped us off to a cool little paper in the new issue of Science:
Naqvi, N. H., Rudrauf, D., Damasio, H., & Bechara, A. (2007). Damage to the insula disrupts addiction to cigarette smoking. Science, 315, 531-534.
It seems like you can download the full-text pdf of the article from the Science web site for free, at least for now.
Today was the last straw. JR, Kate, and Bubba of my personal morning radio hell have gotten the boot. If I wanted to wake up to obnoxious screeching, irritating topics (today’s topic: stupid things women do to entrap men), and people arguing over who’s stupid and who’s mean, I would have children.
I’m not one of those students that turns into a total stress case over coursework; I’m more of a sit down, put the blinders on, and slog through it come hell or high water type; but it’s always interesting to see how even a small quiz like this one disrupts my normal routine.
