How well do you know your mind? Research sheds light on brain structure that may hold key

Just how confident are you that you made the right decision? New research has uncovered a part of the brain that's larger in people who seem particularly introspective.

Some people know their minds better than others, and research being reported Friday is a step at understanding the biology behind that important part of human consciousness. It's work necessary for one d...

Erupting volcanoes ushered in dinosaurs, study says

2010-03-24T07:16:13Z

Dinosaurs rose to dominance 200 million years ago after volcanic eruptions killed off their rivals, and were later wiped from the face of the Earth by a meteorite, paleontologists have found.

Volcanic gases led to an abrupt rise in global warming that decimated crurotarsans, creatures closely related to today's crocodiles, according to a study led by Brown University paleobiologist Jessica Whiteside.

AP IMPACT: Positive eugenics? Gene tests appear to reduce levels of some inherited diseases

Some of mankind's most devastating inherited diseases appear to be declining, and a few have nearly disappeared, because more people are using genetic testing to decide whether to have children.

Births of babies with cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs and other less familiar disorders seem to have dropped since testing came into wider use,

Can Self-Talk Implement Success or Failure?

When you were a little kid, you probably talked out loud to yourself.

Maybe you had an invisible playmate. Perfectly normal. Today you

hold internal dialogues, but they are silent.

A survey of scientists indicates it is common to ask questions and discuss

possibilities between yourself, you, and your shadow. We test our ideas internally,

even before make written or word processing notes.

Ethnicity Predicts How Gene Variations Affect Response to Schizophrenia Medications

Different variations in the same gene influence how well different ethnic groups, and people within the same ethnic group, respond to various antipsychotic medications, report NIMH-funded researchers. If confirmed, their findings could one day help clinicians predict which medication is most likely to help a patient, based on his or her genetic makeup.

A medication that works well for one person with schizophrenia often doesn't work well for another. Genetic variations are thought to p...
