Sci would like to note that the methods of this study are not for the faint of heart. I looked at them and got the feeling that I imagine guys get when people talk glibly of things like ballsack punching. Let’s just put it this way: electrode needles. IN YOUR CLITORIS. Now, please relax, and […]
Some of you may have read Sci’s recent post on Neuroblogging last year’s SfN meeting, and how she thinks this year could be better. A very few of you who have been following Sci for long enough (all two of you, hi Mom and Dad!) may recall that I myself got to blog last year’s […]
You’ve all heard it takes two to tango. And it certainly takes two (or more) to argue. And now, apparently it really does take two to have a conversation. Stephens et al. “Speaker–listener neural coupling underlies successful communication” PNAS, 2010.
Anyone who follows Sci’s twitter feed (you can grab it in the upper right of the blog! Is that a cute feature or what!) will know that Sci LOVES her scones. And cake. And cupcakes. And croissants. Basically, I love baked goods. They are made of awesome and win. I was listening to a podcast […]
As all you happy neuroscience geeks know, the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting is fast approaching! Sci wishes desperately she were going, but right now it looks like only the powers of the science gods could get her that coveted late-breaking abstract, for the science doth not smile upon this young post-doc. But that […]

You know, a lot of people do various “jams”. Sci doesn’t do jams. Well, ok, I love blackberry. But in general I don’t think any of the music I listen to qualifies as a “jam”. Anyway, Mr. S took me a little bit ago to see Arcade Fire in concert! It was a bit of […]
The following is my entry for the newly created Carnal Carnival, a blog carnival started by Jason (of The Thoughtful Animal and Child’s Play) and our dear blogfather Bora. Sci is a little upset she didn’t think of it first. This will be a carnival covered the weird and odd and, if possible, the completely […]
Today, Sci would like to take you down memory lane. The memory lane of 4 months ago (or so) when I was writing my dissertation.
I’m sure that most people know that anorexia occurs more often in women than in men, though overall in about 0.3-0.6{9f43b4361d9a125bc126dd2a2d1949be02545ec69880430bc4fed2272fd72da3} of the population. What a lot of people DON’T know is that anorexia nervosa is a highly heritable disease. In fact, cases of anorexia nervosa have been reported as early as the 16th century […]
