Hi! Just wanted to say Thanks for the Stereophonics recommendation, they've been on heavy rotation in my office all day. Made the day a lot more bearable.
is it one of those human-eating plants? Just kidding. Although that could be handy.
I'm working on a theory regarding physical differences in the male and female brains and the relationship thereof to depression. It seems more psychology based, but it's a lot of physical stuff. I still work with my research team at Hopkins, and we're in the middle of a very intriguing study.
Heh. No, just pretty red blossoms, without any man eating tendencies.
That sounds intruiging. Though I have to admit that my knowledge of brain areas that relate to behavior is awfully small. All I remember is area 10 or something like that. Are you usuing case studies or test persons?
The PET Scans are taken while showing the patient images, playing a disturbing sound, or asking uncomfortable questions. The PET scan estimates the blood flow through the amygdala at the time of discomfort, and compares that to a baseline that was taken when they were not under duress. There was some genotyping involved to check the serotonin levels in each patient, and then compared to their pet scan. Serotonin has been linked to the excitement of the Amygdala. So the difference comes into play when asking men and women to recall the experiences. The amygdala responds differently in men and women when recalling the experience of the uncomfortable situation/duress.
I'm down for lunch. Do you want to hit that sub shop down the street? I'm afraid I can't eat another hospital-made tuna sandwich.

You'll have to explain the Flor de Manita to me sometime; I'm not much of a green thumb ;)

Difficult to explain, I'll just bring you one.

Pretty red blossoms sounds good. My desk could use some color.
Man I am getting hungry. It might be time to hit the cafeteria.

If you don't mind I'd join you for lunch, I hate eating alone.

You had the cafeteria tuna? You're a brave soul. Sub sounds great. Meet you in the lobby?
