Absolutely Confabulous
Confabulation is a striking symptom of some kinds of brain damage. Patients tell often fantastic stories about things that have happened to them, or that are going on now. It's a classic sign of Korsakoff's syndrome, a disorder caused by vitamin B1 deficiency due to chronic alcoholism.Korsakoff's was memorably illustrated on House (Season 1 Episode 10, to be exact). Here's a clip; unfortunately, it's overdubbed in Russian, but you can hear the original if you pay attention.Why does confabulation happen? An influential theory is that confabulation is caused by a failure to filter out irrelevant memories. Suppose I ask you to tell me what happened yesterday. As you reply, yesterday's memories will probably trigger all kinds of associations with other memories, but you'll able to recognize those as irrelevant: that wasn't yesterday, that was last week.A confabulating patient can't do that, this theory says, so they end up with a huge jumble of memories; the confabulated stories are an attempt to make some sense of this mess. See above for my attempt to confabulate a story linking the three random concepts of a cat, a fire engine and a chair.Now British neuroscientists Turner, Cipolotti and Shallice argue that this is only part of the truth: Spontaneous confabulation, temporal context confusion and reality monitoring. They discuss three patients, all of whom began to confabulate after suffering ruptured aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery, which destroyed parts of their ventromedial prefrontal cortex.The patient's stories are tragic, although we can take solace in the fact that they presumably don't know that. The confabulations ranged from the mildly odd:Patient HS was a 59-year-old man admitted after being found disoriented in the street. [he] had undergone clipping of an ACoA aneurysm 25 years previously. He had been left with a profound confusional state, memory impairment, and confabulation. As a result, HS had been unable to return to work and had spent at least part of the intervening period homeless...He... continued to produce spontaneous confabulations involving temporal distortions (believing that he had undergone surgery only 18 months previously) and other source memory distortions (confusing memories of interactions with the examiner with interactions with other patients).To the surreal:GN was disoriented to place, situation, and time and produced consistent confabulations, for example, believing that the year was 1972 and that he was in a hospital in America after being shot. He regularly produced markedly bizarre confabulations, for example, reporting that he had attended a party the night before and met a woman with a bee?s head. He frequently attemptedto act upon his mistaken beliefs, for example, attempting to leave the hospital to attend meetings.Anyway, in order to try to discover the mechanism of confabulation, they gave the patients some memory tests. The results were clear: the confabulating patients had no problems remembering stuff, but were unable to tell where they remembered it from.For example, in one task, the subjects were shown a series of pictures, some of which appeared only once, and some of which were repeated. They had to say which ones were repeats.The patients did normally the first time they did this task, but when they did the test again, this time with a different subset of pictures repeated, they ran into problems, saying pictures that appeared only once during the session were repeats. They were unable to tell the difference between repeats within the session and repeats from previous sessions. This replicates an earlier study of other confabulators.But Turner et al found that this lack of awareness for the source of information, wasn't just limited to when things happened. The confabulating patients were also unable to tell the difference between things they'd actually heard, and things they'd only imagined.Subjects were read a list of 15 words, and also told to silently imagine 15 other words (e.g. "imagine a fruit beginning with A" - apple). They were later asked to remember the words and to say whether they were heard or just imagined. Patients did well on the task except that they wrongly said that they'd actually heard many of the imagined words.The authors conclude that confabulation is caused by a failure to recognize the source of memories, not just in terms of time, but in terms of whether they were real or fantasy. For a confabulator, all memories are of equal importance. Why this happens as a result of damage to certain parts of the brain remains, however, a mystery.Turner MS, Cipolotti L, & Shallice T (2010).

New Moon May 13, 2010: Entice the Willing Collaborators
In honor of this month?s New Moon in the beautiful earth sign, Taurus, I begin with an awareness of Earth and body. Yielding into the Earth, I expand my perceptions. This is where I come from. She is my support. Listening and sensing with my body and soul, I realize my heart is heavy with the awareness of what we have done. Birds covered in black, heavy grime; turtles dying; unleashed floods of oil where no oil should flow; overwhelming greed and the complicity in that greed. Enough. We stand at a crossroads. The planets agree to stand for our choices. If ever you have felt that there is no use, change cannot happen or it won?t happen, now is the time to let go of that thought?because change must happen. We need a change in consciousness and it is happening. We can also be the midwives to this change, nurture it along, give it a nudge, be ready to catch it when it comes.
Looking over the transits and transitions of this next month, I admit a bit of weariness overtook me. Last month I wrote about the life-force rodeo, how the ingress of Uranus and Jupiter into Aries is like sitting on the back of a bull. We are in for a ride. It is important to be mindful, to have the personal practices in place so that impulsivity does not take over, so that we can consciously move into a new way to be and think; because we know that anger and aggression lead us to the same old cycles of karmic debt and the sea creatures will suffer. Weariness, cynicism, and hopelessness are present and yet these attitudes do not need to be the only response or even the predominant response to our challenges. The good thing about Aries is that it helps us to believe we can begin again. We have an opportunity for a fresh start.
What will help us make the shift? I?m beginning to think that the coming surge of life-force is a call to embrace Joy in a whole new way. The force of Joy will help us to shift into the new consciousness that is required of us if we are to live in balance and just relationship with all that is.
I am challenging myself with the following questions and offer them to my readers to consider: What is Joy? What are the old ideas I have about Joy that keep me thinking in old, ego-bound ways? How could the force of Joy help me to create, in the here and now, a life that is full of beauty and balance and mindfulness? If I dedicate myself to forming a new understanding of Joy, what will my obligation be to that force? How might this change my life?
I sometimes forget that I have willing allies. The earth, the planets, my family, teachers, colleagues, mysterious ones, ancestors?they all are willing to be my collaborators in this task of embracing Joy. For this work, I know I need a prayer, a call to my helpers and teachers, because this shift may be hard. I know I will need guidance and encouragement.
Light the fire
make it known
entice the willing collaborators of Joy
Keen pleasure
Gladness
Willingness to be the kiss and the consummation
Let us dance for the world
dance for what we will become
dance for our birthrights

Her processes and cycles
The singleness of everything
The collection of more than
Praise ? Dance ? Entice ? Light the signal fires
Let us call for a radical evolution of consciousness.
Let us call for Joy.
What the planetary allies are up to:
Uranus: ally of change. Moving into Aries, Uranus challenges us to embrace new beginnings and to be mindful of impulsivity.
Saturn: ally of discipline. In Virgo until July 21, Saturn is encouraging us to work behind the scenes, to be of service, to pay attention to the details, and to insist on holistic solutions. When Saturn moves back into Libra after July 21, this planet becomes the ally that provides a firm counterbalance to impulsivity. Saturn collaborates in new beginnings that include balance and beauty.
Jupiter: ally of expansive belief. While in Pisces, ecstatic experiences open us to all collaborators, and to belief that we are all connected. In Aries, we are optimistic that we can begin anew. Joy is our birthright. The caution is to not settle for short-term solutions, quick fixes, or for what feels good now.
Pluto: ally of absolute truth. With Pluto in Capricorn, we are invited to look at the shadows that underlie authority?our own and others?; to claim power; and to live in integrity with the consequences of being powerful.
Chiron: ally of shamanic wisdom gained from wounds and heart openings. Through Chiron transits we gather medicine (I thank Adam Gainsburg for this metaphor for Chiron transits.) Chiron has just entered Pisces; it re-enters Aquarius on July 20; then returns to Pisces in February of 2011. Pisces medicine is gained through the experience of oneness, connection and compassion. Aquarius medicine is gained through the experience of isolation or the act of revolt.
Neptune: ally of the collective consciousness. Neptune confronts us with the fine line between ecstasy and illusion. While in Aquarius, we are offered the wonders of group mind, communal identity, and networks. How are we escaping into useless fantasy and how are we evolving?
Highlights of the New Moon of May 13:
The opposition between Uranus and Saturn with Jupiter just 3 degrees away from conjunction with Uranus is in force. Venus is squaring this opposition. Our relationships are impacted, but through relating we may find a way to synthesize both Uranus and Saturn.
Mars has almost reached the degree of its retrograde station from December. It is square to the Sun and Moon emphasizing the possible conflict between fixed earth? stability and sustenance and fixed fire?stewarding the life-force of Joy. Is one too conservative and cautious? Is the other too impulsive and light-hearted? Both signs are fixed. So even though it seems that earth naturally has more gravitas, and therefore more importance than fire, both are essential energies. How do we embrace them both?
Highlights of the Full Moon of May 27:
The opposition between Uranus and Saturn continues with Uranus on the cusp of moving into Aries. Jupiter is even closer to Uranus now. Energy is building. The signs of the Sun and Moon, Gemini and Sagittarius, focus on learning. There is an opportunity for new insight and expression. The Sun and Moon are square to Chiron in Pisces. What medicine do you gather? Who needs this wisdom? Mars has moved past its stationary degree and opposes Neptune. This aspect could encourage mystical experiences or escapism. Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto. Power and shadows influence our relationships. We can deepen what we are experiencing and look with honesty at relationship dynamics.

The Horror, The Horror
You're watching a horror movie.The characters are going about their lives, blissfully unaware that something horrifying is about to happen. You the viewer know that things are going to end badly, though, because you know it's a horror movie.Someone opens a closet - a bloody corpse could fall out! Or they're drinking a glass of water - which could be infected with a virus! Or they're talking to some guy - who's probably a serial killer! And so on.The effect of this - and a good director can get a lot of mileage from it - is that scenes which would otherwise be entirely mundane, are experienced as scary, purely because you know that something scary is going to happen, so you see potential horror in every innocent little thing. An expectation as to what's going to happen, leads to you interpreting events in a certain way, and this creates certain emotions.In a medical context, that would be called a placebo effect. Or a nocebo effect when expectations make people feel worse rather than better.The horror movie analogy is useful, because it shows that placebo effects don't just happen to other people. We all like to think that if we were given a placebo treatment, we wouldn't be fooled. Unlike all those silly, suggestible, placebo responders, we'd stay as sick as ever until we got a proper cure.I wouldn't be so sure. We're always interpreting the world around us, and interpreting our own thoughts and feelings, on the basis of our expectations and beliefs about what's going on. We don't suddenly stop doing this when it comes to health.Suppose you have the flu. You feel terrible, and you're out of aspirin. You don't think you'll be able to make that meeting this afternoon, so you phone in sick.Now, clearly, flu is a real disease, and it really does make you feel ill. But how do you know that you wouldn't be able to handle the meeting? Unless you have an extensive history of getting the flu in all its various forms, this is an interpretation, a best guess as to what you'll feel in the future, and it might be too pessimistic.Maybe, if you tried, you'd get on OK. Maybe if you had some aspirin that would reassure you enough to give it a go. And just maybe it would still have worked even if those "aspirins" were just sugar pills...Link: See my previous posts I Feel X, Therefore Y and How Blind is Double Blind?

Sex and Money on the Brain
Back in 1991, Mark Knopfler sang"Sex and money are my major kicksGet me in a fight I like the dirty tricks"Now twenty years later a team of French neuroscientists have followed up on this observation with a neuroimaging study: The Architecture of Reward Value Coding in the Human Orbitofrontal Cortex.Sescousse et al note that people like erotic stimuli, i.e. porn, and they also like money. However, there's a difference: porn is, probably, a more "primitive" kind of rewarding stimulus, given that naked people have been around for as long as there have been people, whereas money is a recent invention.The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is known to respond to all kinds of rewarding stimuli, but it's been suggested that the more primitive the reward, the more likely it is to activate the evolutionarily older posterior part of the OFC, whereas abstract stimuli, like money, activate more anterior parts of that area.While this makes intuitive sense, it's never been directly tested. So Sescousse et al took 18 heterosexual guys, put them in an fMRI scanner, showed them porn, and gave them money. Specifically:Two categories (high and low intensity) of erotic pictures and monetary gains were used. Nudity being the main criteria driving the reward value of erotic stimuli, we separated them into a ?low intensity? group displaying women in underwear or bathing suits and a ?high intensity? group displaying naked women in an inviting posture. Each erotic picture was presented only once to avoid habituation. A similar element of surprise was introduced for the monetary rewards by randomly varying the amounts at stake: the low amounts were ?1-3 and the high amounts were ?10-12.You've gotta love neuroscience. Although the authors declined to provide any samples of the stimuli used.Anyway, what happened?As hypothesized, monetary rewards specifically recruited the anterior lateral OFC ... In contrast, erotic rewards elicited activity specifically in the posterior part of the lateral OFC straddling [fnaar fnaar] the posterior and lateral orbital gyri. These results demonstrate a double dissociation between monetary/erotic rewards and the anterior/posterior OFC ... Among erotic-specific areas, a large cluster was also present in the medial OFC, encompassing the medial orbital gyrus, the straight [how appropriate] gyrus, and the most ventral part of the superior frontal gyrus. [immature emphasis mine]In other words, the posterior-primitive, anterior-abstract relationship did seem to hold, at least if you accept that money is more abstract than porn. (Many other areas were activated by both kinds of rewards, such as the ventral striatum, but these were less interesting as they've been identified in many previous studies.)Overall, this is a good study, and a nice example of hypothesis-testing using fMRI, which is to be preferred to just putting people in a scanner and seeing which parts of the brain light up in a purely exploratory manner...Sescousse G, Redout� J, & Dreher JC (2010).

2010 Venedik Film Festivalinde Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba'da 2010 Venedik Film Festivali'nde 'Machete' filmiyle dikkat �eken isimlerden biri oldu. Genel olarak tarz?n? be?endi?im Jessica Alba'n?n Valentino marka elbisesinde limon renkli �i�eklerde ?ahane ama Jess'in �zerinde bir tuhaf g�r�n�yor; ben ��zemedim. G�rebilen var m?? :)Se�imini yine Valentino'dan yana kulland??? siyah elbisesinin Jessica'ya yak??mad???n? d�?�n�yorum. K�pelerinin kendisine daha fazla ???lt? sa?lad??? ortada. Ten rengini d�?�nerek kendini fazla siyaha bo?masa iyi olurmu?. Yaln?z Ferragamo ayakkab?lar?n g�zelli?ine dikkat! Dolce & Gabbana'n?n uzun kollu �i�ek bask?l? elbisesiyle Jessica �ok sevimli olmu?. Gladyat�r sandaletleriyse Michael Kors. Bu kez sa�lar?n? d�z kullanmay? tercih eden Jessica'n?n bu stili ona daha �ok yak???yor. ���n�n aras?ndan bu benim favorim oldu.

dear Sinead O'Connor,
thank you for your beauty...inside and out.thank you for your voice...which is from another dimension.thank you for standing unafraid against a world that destroys anything with an identity, an opinion, or a soul. a world that despises honesty and is almost never willing to face its own fears or the truth.thank you for your emotional disorder.thank you for your bald head, and for your tears.thank you for basically sacrificing a career people would (and do) kill for, in order to maintain your own voice and to stand strong by your own convictions.i'm sorry for the way people treated you. from your childhood to the moment you stood on the stage at Madison Square Garden at the Bob Dylan Tribute Concert, a lone brave and talented 25-year-old girl from ireland being crucified by a mob of tens of thousands like a witch on trial.they were so scared of you, Sinead. you shook the delusional axis of this planet in a way it just couldn't withstand.i was very young during those days, and living in a sheltered world where i never really had the chance to appreciate your music or your actions. quite the opposite actually. as a child, i too was trained to hate warriors like you.but i find inspiration in you now. and the sound of your voice - and the rage & pain it unleashes with such clarity - shatters something within me.i don't know you. i've never met you, and i probably never will.but sometimes i go on, because you did.

Sinemada Trend - S�per Kad?n Kahramanlar?n Deri ?le ?mtihan?!
Tamamiyle hayali olsa da ger�eklikten nasibini alm?? gibi muamele g�r�rler. Kad?n s�per kahramanlar deri k?yafetlerinin cazibesinden ald??? g��le bize her durumda ba? etme yetisini ve zekas?n? en parlak ?ekilde g�zler �n�ne sererler. Deri g��l� bir metaryal olsa da kad?n kahramanlar? beyazperdede izledik�e ald???m?z gazla sinema salonlar?ndan i�imize t�rl� yetenekler enjekte edilmi? gibi ayr?l?r?z. Hepimiz g��s�zlerin ge�irdi?i evrimlere bak?p nas?l kahraman ve y?k?lmaz olduklar?n? g�rmeyi severiz. Bunun i�in verdikleri insan �st� �aba umut ????? niteli?inde olur ve 'istersen sende ba?arabilirsin' gibi bir duyguyu da yan?na bonus olarak verir. ?nsan ruhunda var olan kahramanl?k g�d�s�n� d�rt�p �?karmas?n? iyi bilen Hollywood, kost�m tasar?mc?lar? ile birlikte bunu �yle bir destekliyor ki erkekleri etkileyebildikleri gibi kad?nlar?n ruhuna da i?lemeyi ba?ar?yorlar. Bu sebeple de?il mi senaryo k?tl??? �ekildi?inde �izgi romanlara ve bilgisayar oyunlar?na s?rtlar?n? dayay?p, o sekt�rden destek almalar?. T�rk kad?nlar?n? niye afilli kost�mler i�inde g�remiyoruz yoksa bizden bir kad?n kahraman olmaz m?? Olur hem de bal gibi olur da, bizde ki bu yetene?i g�rmesi i�in Ye?il�am'?n az?c?k g�zlerini a�makta fayda var :) Deri k?yafetlere form verip harikalar yaratan Simay B�lb�l ve Ezra - Tuba �etin karde?lerde k?yafetleri pekala tasarlayabilirler. Tamam can?m, bu sadece moda ile olacak i? de?il. Sinema sekt�r�n�n �etrefilli yollar?na girmeden ve b�t�e hesaplar? ile u?ra?madan yolumuza devam edelim.K?z?l, sar???n, esmer yada farkl? renklerde olmalar? bile onlar?n ama�lar?n? birbirinden ay?rm?yor. Tek ama�lar? var o da k�t�leri tarihin tozlu sayfalar?n? aras?na g�mmek! ?ntikam duygusu ile yan?p tutu?salar da kimileri i�in bir an gelir intikam bana g�re de?il der, kimileri i�inse intikam so?uk yenen bir yemektir felsefesi asla de?i?mez. So?uk kanl? g�r�nt�lerinin alt?nda yatan duygusal kad?nsa umulmad?k bir anda onlara nanik yap?verir. ?ddial? makyajlar?na ald?rmadan iki damla g�zya??n?n s�z�ld�?� bile g�r�lm�?t�r.

Assasinlik ruhlar?nda oldu?u i�in saklanma, kimlik de?i?tirme gibi konular �zerine doktora yapm??lard?r. ?yi veya k�t� olsunlar, do?ru yolu bulsun yada bulamas?nlar verilen mesajlar yerine ula?m??t?r. G�zelse aptald?r kavram?n? y?kmak i�in olabildi?ince �al??an bu kahramanlara haklar?n? verelim.Onu unutmak ne m�mk�n telefon hatt?ndan �?k?p gelen TRINITY'nin d�v�? stili e?ine az rastlan?r �zellikte.

Uzun siyah deri pelerinini her bayandan onun gibi d�zg�n ta??mas? beklenmemeli, zor i?. Bu kadar aksiyon ve az?c?k felsefenin i�inde Neo'ya duydu?u a?k �zel bir yerdedir. Neo 'Trinity HELP' dedi?i anda onun yan?nda olmaya her zaman haz?r kad?n?n? bulur!Batman'a ihtiya� duymad??? gibi onu belinden sar?p Batmobile'?na atmas?na da gerek olmayan tek kad?n CATWOMAN' d?r. Bunun aksine o Batman'i kendine a??k edebilir. Kuyru?unu sallay?p, k?rba�?yla uzaktaki rakibinin bile dikkatini da??tacak yetenekte ve �ekiciliktedir. Kedilerin �zelliklerini kendinde bar?nd?rmas?ndan dolay? d�rt ayak �zerine d�?me konusunda olduk�a ba?ar?l?d?r. Hayat? boyunca i�ine kapan?k, kendi halinde, sessiz ,sakin olan Selina camdan d�?�p kedilerin sald?r?s?na u?ray?nca DNA s? de?i?ikli?e u?ray?p bamba?ka biri olarak yeniden do?ar. Evine gitti?i gibi diki? makinesinin �n�ne oturur ve ba?lar kendi kost�m�n� dikmeye, tabi bunun i�in ki?ili?ini yans?tan deriyi an?nda se�er. Sahip oldu?u kedi i� g�d�leri i�indeki intikam �anlar?n? �oktan harekete ge�irmi?tir. 2004 yap?m?

HALLE BERRY Catwoman'da istedi?imiz gibi bir kahraman yaratamasa da Storm gibi mistik bir karaktere daha �ok yak??m??t?r. Siyah deri kost�m�n�n �zerinde do?al olarak eksik olmayan tek ?ey ' X ' logosudur. Sinemada izledi?imde kendimi bir an �nce salondan atma iste?iyle yan?p tutu?du?um filmdeki kad?n kahramana gelmek isterim. Watchmen'de ki seksi SILK SPECTRE! Sally J�piter 1940'lar?n Silk Spectre's? olsa da ya?ad??? olaylardan sonra bu maceras?na son verir ve k?z? Laurie Jupiter'e b?rak?r. Anneden k?za ge�en bu �nvan ile k�t�lerin pe?ine ekip arkada?lar?yla ile birlikte d�?er. Watchmen, kahramanlar? ile ger�ek �izgi roman fanatiklerinin g�nl�nde ayr? bir yeri olsa da benim gibi sadece filmini izleyenler i�in hayalk?r?kl??? olu?turabilir.

Sar? ve siyah renklerden olu?an kost�m�n�n� giyip sa�lar?n? oraya buraya savururken d�v�?mesi g�r�lmeye de?er (!) Siyah jartiyeri ile garip d�v�? stilleri sergileyen Silk Spectre benim kad?n kahraman?m olmaktan �oook uzak!Alice'in tek hatas? Umbrella gibi bir ?irkete hizmet etmekti. Bu ?irket bu k?za hi� ac?mad??? gibi insanl?k ad?na yapmad???n? da b?rakmad?. RESIDENT EVIL'da Alice'i canland?ran MILLA JOVOVICH bu filmle dikkat �ekmeyi ba?ard?. Resident Evil serilerinde giydi?i farkl? deri k?yafetler ile hem sert hem kad?ns? olmay? bildi. Her b�l�mde Alice upgrade edilmi? haliyle kar??m?za �?kt?. G�z� kara bu kad?n korkusuzca zombilerin aras?na kendini atmaktan ve ba?kalar?n? kurtarmak ad?na kendini feda etmekten hi� ka�?nmaz. Yava? yava? yeteneklerinin artt???n? g�rd�?�m�z Alice d�v�? hareketlerini rahatl?kla yapabilmek ad?na deriden vazge�mez. Alice'in di?er bir �zelli?i ise nereye giderse gitsin zombi k�pek s�r�lerini pe?ine takabilme becerisidir. Eee olsun o kadar! UNDERWORLD vampirler aras? d�zenlenen g�zellik yar??mas? birincisini a�?kl?yorum: KATE BECKINSALE. Bir seri filminde daha kad?n kahraman?m?z?n �zerinden siyah deriler eksik olmaz. Yer alt?n?n karanl?k sular?nda gezinmekten �ekinmeyen Selene'nin kurtadamlar ile ili?kisi de bir o kadar sa?lamd?r.

Beyazperde de ki bu �nvan?na ra?men ak?lda kal?c? bir deri kost�me hi� sahip olamam??t?r asl?nda. Ger�ek hayat?nda siyahlar?n kad?n? �nvan?n? korudu?u gibi deriden de vazge�mez ve film galalar?nda s?kl?kla kar??m?za �?kar. Her filminde deriyi tek par�a olarak mutlaka kullan?r.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider'da tek tip bir deri kost�m� yoktur, Mr. & Mrs. Smith'de gizli bir ajan olarak verilen g�revi deri elbisesi sayesinde hi� zorlanamadan bitirmi?tir.

A Tale of Two Genes
An unusually gripping genetics paper from Biological Psychiatry: Pagnamenta et al.The authors discuss a family where two out of the three children were diagnosed with autism. In 2009, they detected a previously unknown copy number variant mutation in the two affected brothers: a 594 kb deletion knocking out two genes, called DOCK4 and IMMP2L.Yet this mutation was also carried by their non-autistic mother and sister, suggesting that it wasn't responsible for the autism. The mother's side of the family, however, have a history of dyslexia or undiagnosed "reading difficulties"; all of the 8 relatives with the mutation "performed poorly on reading assessment".Further investigation revealed that the affected boys also carried a second, entirely separate, novel deletion, affecting the gene CNTNAP5. Their mother and sister did not. This mutation came from their father, who was not diagnosed with autism but apparently had "various autistic traits".Perhaps it was the combination of the two mutations that caused autism in the two affected boys. The mother's family had a mutation that caused dyslexia; the father's side had one that caused some symptoms of autism but was not, by itself, enough to cause the disorder per se.However, things aren't so clear. There were cases of diagnosed autism spectrum disorders in the father's family, although few details are given and DNA was only available from one of the father's relatives. So it may have been that the autism was all about the CNTNAP5, and this mutation just has a variable penetrance, causing "full-blown" autism in some people and merely traits in others (like the father).In order to try to confirm whether these two mutations do indeed cause dyslexia and autism, they searched for them in several hundred unrelated autism and dyslexia patients as well as healthy controls. They detected the a DOCK4 deletion in 1 out of 600 dyslexics (and in his dyslexic father, but not his unaffected sister), but not in 2000 controls. 3 different CNTNAP5 mutations were found in the affected kids from 3 out of 143 autism families, although one of them was also found in over 1000 controls.This is how psychiatric genetics is shaping up: someone finds a rare mutation in one family, they follow it up, and it's only carried by one out of several hundred other cases. So there are almost certainly hundreds of genes "for" disorders like autism, and it only takes a mutation in one (or two) to cause autism.Here's another recent example: they found PTCHD1 variants in a full 1% of autism cases. It seems to me that autism, for example, is one of the things that happens when something goes wrong during brain development. Hundreds of genes act in synchrony to build a brain; it only takes one playing out of tune to mess things up, and autism is one common result.Mental retardation and epilepsy are the other main ones, and we know that there are dozens or hundreds of different forms of these conditions each caused by a different gene or genes. The million dollar question is what it is that makes the autistic brain autistic, as opposed to, say, epileptic.The "rare variants" model has some interesting implications. The father in the Pagnamenta et al. study had never been diagnosed with anything. He had what the authors call "autistic traits", but presumably he and everyone just thought of those as part of who he was - and they could have been anything from shyness, to preferring routine over novelty, to being good at crosswords.Had he not carried the CNTNAP5 mutation, he'd have been a completely different person. He might well have been drawn to a very different career, he'd probably never have married the woman he did, etc.Of course, that doesn't mean that it's "the gene for being him"; all of his other 23,000 genes, and his environment, came together to make him who he was. But the point is that these differences don't just pile up on top of each other; they interact. One little change can change everything.Link: BishopBlog on why behavioural genetics is more complicated than some people want you to think.Pagnamenta, A., Bacchelli, E., de Jonge, M., Mirza, G., Scerri, T., Minopoli, F., Chiocchetti, A., Ludwig, K., Hoffmann, P., & Paracchini, S.

Normal? You're Weird - Psychiatrists
Almost everyone is pretty screwed up. That's not my opinion, that's official - according to a new paper in the latest British Journal of Psychiatry.Make sure you're sitting down for this. No less than 48% of the population have "personality difficulties", and on top of that 21% have a full blown "personality disorder", and another 7% have it even worse with "complex" or "severe" personality disorders.That's quite a lot of people. Indeed it only leaves an elite 22.5% with no personality disturbances whatsoever. You're as likely to have a "simple PD" as you are to have a normal personality, and fully half the population fall into the "difficulties" category.I have difficulties with this.Where do these results come from? The Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, which is a government study of the British population. They phoned up a random sample of several thousand people, and gave them the SCID interview, in other words they asked them questions. 116 questions in fact.48% of people answered "yes" to enough questions such that, according to their criteria, they had "personality difficulties". They defined "personality difficulties", which is not a term in common use, as being "one criterion less than the threshold for personality disorder (PD)" according to DSM-IV criteria.So what? Well, as far as I'm concerned, that means simply that "personality difficulties" is a crap category, which labels normality as pathological. I can tell that most of people with "difficulties" are in fact normal because they are the literally the norm. It's not rocket science.So we can conclude that "personality difficulties" should either be scrapped or renamed "normal". In which case the weird minority of people without any such features should be relabelled. Maybe they are best known as "saints", or "�bermenschen", or perhaps "people who lie on questionnaires".This, however, is not what the authors say. They defend their category of Personality Difficulties on the grounds that this group are slightly more likely to have a history of "issues" than the elite 22.5 percent, e.g. homelessness (3.0% vs. 1.6%), 'financial crisis' (10.1% vs. 6.8%), or having had treatment for mental illness (11% vs 6%).They say:The finding that 72% of the population has at least some degree of personality disturbance is counterintuitive, but the evidence that those with ?personality difficulty? covering two out of five of the population [it's actually closer to half], differs significantly from those with no personality disturbance in the prevalence of a history of running away from home, police contacts, homelessness... shows that this separation is useful from both clinical and societal viewpoints.Well, yeah...but no. The vast majority (90+%) of people with Personality Difficulty had no history of these things. It's true that, as a group, they have higher average rates, but all this tells you is that some of them have problems. I suspect they're the ones right at the "top end" of this category, the people who are almost into the next category up.Here's what I think is going on:The "difficulties" group and the "none" group are essentially the same in terms of the levels of crap stuff happening to them - because they are the same, normal, everyday people - except that a small % of the "difficulties" group do have some moderate degree of problems, because they are close to being "PD".This does not mean that the "difficulties" category is good. Quite the reverse, it means it's rubbish, because it spans so many diverse people and lumps them all together. What you should do, if you insist on drawing lines in the sand, would be this:Now I don't know that that's how things work, but it seems plausible. Bearing in mind that the categories they used are entirely arbitrary, it would be very odd if they did correspond to reality.To be fair to the authors, this is not the only argument in their paper. Their basic point is that personality disturbance is a spectrum: rather than it being a black-and-white question of "normal" vs."PD", there are degrees, ranging from "simple PD" which is associated with a moderate degree of life crap, up to "complex PD" which has much more and "severe PD" which is worst of all.They suggest that in the upcoming DSM-V revision of psychiatric diagnosis, it would be useful to formally incorporate the severity spectrum in some way - unlike the current DSM-IV, there everything is either/or. They also argue that with more severe cases of PD, it is not very useful to assign individual PD diagnoses (DSM-IV has no less than 10 different PDs) - severe PD is just severe PD.That's all fine, as long as it doesn't lead to pathologizing 78% of the population - but this is exactly what it might do. The authors do admit that "the SCID screen for personality disorder, like almost all screening instruments, overdiagnoses personality pathology", but provide little assurance that a "spectrum" approach won't do the same thing.Yang M, Coid J, & Tyrer P (2010).

Food Stamp Nation With Massive Inflation
The number of people in the United States needing food stamps to survive is trending toward 45 million. Those living on fixed incomes or government assistance are being ravaged by exploding inflation. Year over year pork is up 68%, coffee 45%, sugar 24%, salmon 30%, oranges 35%, barley 32%, beef 23%, and the list goes on. U6 (unemployment) just soared to 17.1%, and as what Art Cashin calls "the tale of two economies" persists, it is leaving behind a trail of tears.A global food crisis is brewing and with it massive inflation is arriving at a time when we have the most people on government assistance since the Great Depression.When people recall the suffering 80 years ago in the last depression in the United States, we conjure up images of bread lines.In the modern world, people push carts at Wal-marts across the country looking to purchase staples like baby formula and milk. This shopping often occurs near midnight at the end of each month, and for the first few hours after midnight Wal-mart's sales soar because the government assistance cards have been activated.By "the tale of two economies," Cashin referred to the suffering that was happening on Main Street even as the stock market rallied. I don't care that the Dow has crossed 11,000 when so many families are living in motel rooms, cars, and tent cities. Now these families will be struggling to feed themselves and their children because of the irresponsibility of the central planners and bankers.The question now becomes: In a civilized society, when will these central planners and bankers be held accountable for the destruction they have brought on the United States? It is time to end the culture of corruption if only because, as inflation explodes, the people simply cannot afford it anymore.Link Here..420 Banks Demand 1-World CurrencyInvestors Plow Into Junk Bonds; Junk Bond Sales at Record Highs

Too Big To Fail: Bank Of America Goes Bankrupt? So Does The FDIC
The FDIC has a herculean challenge in confronting the too big to fail banks. There is little doubt that having institutions that are too big is part of the reason for the current systemic crisis. Yet through the last few years the solution has been to make these banks even bigger allowing their web to spread even further and deeper into the economy. The FDIC has an insolvent Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) backing up $13 trillion in banking assets. And what the banks call assets is simply stunning. Bank of America for example has $2.3 trillion in assets (or a larger amount than the annual GDP of California). Yet 41 percent of the assets are backed by loans, predominately real estate loans.Let us take a look at the breakdown of the $2.3 trillion:More Here..

Robo-Signers: Mortgage Experience Not Necessary
Banks hired hair stylists, teens to process foreclosure documents, workers' testimony shows.In an effort to rush through thousands of home foreclosures since 2007, financial institutions and their mortgage servicing departments hired hair stylists, Walmart floor workers and people who had worked on assembly lines and installed them in "foreclosure expert" jobs with no formal training, a Florida lawyer says.In depositions released Tuesday, many of those workers testified that they barely knew what a mortgage was. Some couldn't define the word "affidavit." Others didn't know what a complaint was, or even what was meant by personal property. Most troubling, several said they knew they were lying when they signed the foreclosure affidavits and that they agreed with the defense lawyers' accusations about document fraud."The mortgage servicers hired people who would never question authority," said Peter Ticktin, a Deerfield Beach, Fla., lawyer who is defending 3,000 homeowners in foreclosure cases. As part of his work, Ticktin gathered 150 depositions from bank employees who say they signed foreclosure affidavits without reviewing the documents or ever laying eyes on them -- earning them the name "robo-signers."More Here..

Fransa'n?n gelmi? ge�mi? en ate?li hatunlar?ndan olma �nvan?n? elinde tutabilen ender g�zelliklerden biridir. Heykeli dikilesi kad?n s�z�n� hakk?n? vererek heykeli bile dikilen bu tanr?�a �l�ms�zlerin aras?nda yerini alm??t?r. Bir di?er heykeli dikilen Frans?z g�zeli Laetitia Casta Louis Vuitton'un 2010 K?? Koleksiyonu ile Bardot'un stili ile Fransa'n?n simgesi bu kad?n?n kimli?ine b�r�nm�?t�. ?ri dalgal? bukleleri, hafif aralad??? dudaklar?n?n aras?na yerle?tirdi?i seksi cazibesi ve kampanya foto?raflar?nda taklit edilesi stiliyle idol olmaya devam ediyor. ?�yle d�?�n�n ki James Bond filmindeki k?zlar?n ?imdiye dek en haval?s? denizden �?k?p kumlara do?ru a??r �ekimde Dolce & Gabbana bikinisi ile sahilin tozunu att?r?rken etraft?nda ki herkesin tek odak noktas? haline geliyor. ??te bu �ekimi ancak erkeklerin r�yalar?n? s�sleyip, vah?i ve romantik olmas?n? bilen Bridget Bardot gibi bir kad?n ba?arabilir. 50'lerden kopyalanas? bir stil miydi? KES?NL?KLE! Pin up k?zlar?n?n has �zelliklerini kendinde bar?nd?rmas?n? ba?aran bu kad?n?n siyah uzun �izmeleri ve sa� bantlar? ka� modac?ya ilham kayna?? oldu?unu kim bilir? Muhte?em irilikte g�zlerini ortaya �?kard??? rimeli onun imzas? gibi olmu?tur. Claudia Schiffer'?n tarz?n?n uzaktan yak?ndan ilgisi olmasa da fiziki a�?dan bir�ok noktada birbirine benzedikleri i�in g�n�m�z�n Bridget Bardot'su olarak ba?ka bir isime de sahip olmu?tur. Bardot stilinden bir par�a bana da bula?s?n diyorsan?z skinny jeanleri, k?sa etekleri, uzun �izmelerinizi giyip, hacimli sa�lar?n?z? savurmaya haz?r olun! Bridget Bardot'yu ?u s�zle �zetlemek kula?a gelen en anlaml? ?ey: Ve Tanr? Kad?n? Yaratt?!1950'lerin barbie bebek gibi g�r�nen ve ula??lmas? neredeyse imkans?z pin up k?z hallerinin yan?nda yan?nda AUDREY HEPBURN t�m s?cakkanl?l??? ve i�ten g�l�msemesi ile bizim 'the girl next door'umuz olmu?tur. Audrey Hepburn masumiyetin, zerafet ile nas?l birle?ti?inin en iyi ifade eden y�z hatlar?na sahip oldu?u 'My Fair Lady' imizdir! Hepimizin g�n�llerinde taht kurmay? ba?ard??? 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' ile de d??a d�n�k bir k?z?n ger�ekte i�e d�n�k halini en g�zel ?ekilde yans?tm??; siyah mini elbisesiyle ise her markan?n tekrar tekrar tasarlad??? ve modern kad?n?n gard?robunun da vazge�ilmez par�as? olmu?tur. Ak?ll?, mutlu olmas?n? her zaman bilen ( ama Pollyannac?l?k oynamadan bunu ba?arabilen ) kendine g�ven ve stil ikonu kelimeleri art?k Audrey ile e?de?er olmu?tur. Siyah mini elbisesi, uzun inci kolyesi, kapri ve slim pantolanlar?, bal?k�? yaka kazaklar?, sade ama �arp?c? gece elbiseleri, siyah g�ne? g�zl�kleriyle Audrey Hepburn'�n stilini genel olarak �zetleyebiliriz. Onun bu ilham veren stili kopyalanas? g�zellikte olup masumiyetini ortaya koydu?u gibi i�indeki di?ili?ini de her y�nden hissettirmesini bilen Audrey, di?er pin up k?zlar? gibi yenili?e �ok a�?k olmay?p o kad?ns? �zelliklerini farkl? bir ?ekilde g�stermeyi se�enlerden. Aktrist olmadan �nce balerin olan y?ld?z?n duru?unda bunu hissetmek m�mk�n. Sevimli ve ???lt? sa�an y�z�yle Audrey'nin bizlere kan?tlad??? ?ey ?u ki her?ey s?cak bir g�l�mseyi?le ba?lar...Efsanevi moda ikonu oldu?u gibi oyunculuk yetene?iyle de oscar heykelci?ini de kapan ve beyaz atl? prensinin sizi kulenizden kurtarmaya �al??t??? hayallere dala dururken o bu masal? ger�e?e d�n�?t�renlerden biri: GRACE KELLY. Monaco prensi ile hayat?n? birle?tirdikten sonra bu efsane moda ikonu, �nvanlar?na bir yenisini daha ekledi; Prenses Grace Kelly. ?imdi �ar??ya, pazara giderken kollardan d�?meyen Hermes �antalar? o zaman?n stil ikonu Grace Kelly'nin onuruna 'Kelly' isimli bir �anta bile �retmi?ti.; ka� ki?i Hermes taraf?ndan unutulmazl?k sembollerinin aras?nda yerini alabilir ki? Onun y�r�ngesine girdi?iniz anda zerafeti ile sizi i�ine al?r ve eski t�rk filmlerindeki han?m efendilerin masumiyetinin alt?nda yatan g�zellik gibi ak?llardan asla �?kmaz. Onun g�rkemli gardrobunda kimler yoktu ki... Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Lanvin gibi d�nyada moda devlerinin emrine amade oldu?unu d�?�n�rsek sayd?klar?m ufak bir b�l�m� olabilir ancak. Vintage elbiselerin de?erinin Grace Kelly gibi ikonlar?n esintisinden geldi?ini bilirsek ne kadar de?erli olduklar?n? ve asla niye eskimediklerini anlamam?z zor olmaz. Grace Kelly kimileri i�in mesafeli gibi g�r�nse de a??rba?l? tarz?yla do?ru duru?unu kan?tlam?? isimlerden biri. Kesinlikle �ok cesur ve kendini do?ru ifade eden kad?nlardan biri SOPHIA LOREN. Y?ld?z ve aktrist kavramlar?n?n birbirinden �ok farkl? oldu?unu d�?�nen ve kendisini aktrist kategorisinde tan?mlayacak kadar al�akg�n�ll�. Di?er 1950'lerdek ki pin up k?zlar?n? d�?�n�rsek kendisi y?rt?c?, g��l� ve kendinden emin g�r�n�?�yle d�nemin seks sembollerinden biri olmu?tur. ?ri g�zleri, kum saati v�cudu ve derin g�g�s dekolteleriyle 50'lerin seks sembollerinin simgesi ve odak noktas?d?r. Sophia Loren kendisindeki bu g�zelli?in fark?nda olup �zerine ne giyse k?vr?ml? v�cut hatlar? sayesinde muhte?em g�r�nd�?�n�n bilincinde pozlar? cesurca verir. ?talyanlar?n gururu y?ld?z kad?ns? elbiseler, etekler ile vintage tarz?n simgelerinden biri olmu?tur. K?vr?ml? v�cut hatlar? sayesinde giydi?i her elbise i�inde muhte?em g�r�nmesini �arp?c? v�cut hatlar?na bor�lu olan Sophia Loren de g�zellik yar??mas?nda ?ans?n? deneyenlerden biri olmu?. Onda ki bu ???lt?y? ke?fedenlerse vakit kaybetmeden filmlerde oynamas? i�in teklifte bulunup d�nya sinemas?na anlaml? bakan bir �ift g�z�n �tesindeki bu kad?n? kazand?rm??lar. 2005 y?l?nda Film Festivali i�in �lkemize gelen Sophia Loren kendi ya??tlar? i�inde zirvede nas?l kald???n? kan?tlar g�zellikteydi. ?imdiyse y?llar?n ondan bir ?ey al?p g�t�rmedi?i k?sm?na ge�i? yapm??, ta? bebek k?vam?ndan bir?ey kaybetmeden bizleri kendine hayran b?rakmaya devam ediyor...'Y�zy?l?n en �ekici kad?nlar' listesinde bir numarada olabilmeyi ve o listede her zaman kalabilmeyi platin sar?s? sa�lar?na de?il; kendine �zg� kad?n? �zg�rce ortaya koyabilmesine bor�lu MARILYN MONROE. Playboy dergisine kapak oldu?u 1950'lerde erkeklerin dikkatini �ekmeyi ba?arsa da o hep ne istedi?ini bilmesi sayesinde seksi sar???n �nvan?n? korudu. Beyaz bir elbise, k?rm?z? bir ruj, a?a??dan gelen hafif esintinin de katk?s?yla 'Yaz Bekar?' filmindeki bu ikonik g�r�nt� ile haf?zalar?m?zdan y�z y?llar boyu �?kmayacak tek kad?n olma �zelli?ine sahip Marilyn Monroe . Bu sebeple g�n�m�zde pin up k?z sembollerinde en �ok rastlad???m?z y�z�n Marilyn'nin ki olmas? tesad�f de?il. G�r�nt�s�n�n aksine Hollywood'da para onu ilgilendiren konular aras?nda hi� olmad?; o i?in kendini harika hissetmek k?sm?ndayd?. Kad?ns? duygular?n? ifade etmek ve d??a vurmak onun do?as?nda oldu?u i�in bug�n bile a?k hayat? g�ndeme gelip, giyim stili ile de onun taklit eden �nl�ler �?k?yor. Taklitler asl?n? ya?at?r s�z� onun sayesinde tasdiklenip, onaylat?labilir. Marilyn aptal sar???n rollerinde oynasa bile bir kad?nda olmas? gereken her?eye sahipti ama g�zlerindeki h�z�n ve �ocuksu g�l�mseyi?i ile ger�e?in ta kendisiydi.Menek?e g�zl� y?ld?z ELIZABETH TAYLOR' �zellikle bu g�zlerinin farkl?l??? ile sinemada iz b?rakm??t?r. M�cevherlere olan d�?k�nl�?� ile nam salan bu kad?na Kleopatra gibi g�steri?li bir film ancak yak??abilirdi. M�cevherlere o kadar tutkuyla ba?l? ki bunun �zerine bir kitap yaz?p, m�cevherci d�kkan? bile a�m??! Kendine d�?k�nl�?� narsistlik seviyesinde olup, l�ks� hayat?n?n merkezine bile koysa o sempatikli?i ile kendini sevdirmesini biliyor. Hayat dolu bu g�zel ?imdi bir k�?esine �ekilip oturmak yerine zaman?n?n b�y�k b�l�m�n� AIDS i�in yap?lan yard?mlara katk?da bulunarak ge�iriyor.

Israel and Palestine are Both Fighting Back...?
There are three basic schools of thought on the Israel / Palestine thing.Those evil Israelis are out to destroy Palestine, and the Palestinians are just fighting back.Those evil Palestinians are out to destroy Israel, and the Israelis are just fighting back.It's a cycle of violence, where both sides are fighting back against the other.Which one you subscribe to depends mostly on where you were born. I'm not aware of many people who've changed their minds on this issue, perhaps because doing so would require a study of the last 2,500 years of history, religion and politics.Wouldn't it be handy if science could provide an answer? According to the authors of a new paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, the "cycle" school is right: both sides are fighting back against the other: Both sides retaliate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The authors (from Switzerland, Israel and the USA) took data on daily fatalities on both sides, and also of daily launches of Palestinian "Qassam" rockets at Israel. The data run from 2001, the start of the current round of unpleasantness, to late 2008, the Gaza War.They looked to see whether the number of events that happened on a certain day predicted the number of events caused by the other side on the following days, i.e. whether a Palestinian death caused the Palestinians to retaliate by firing more rockets and killing more Israelis, and vice versa.What happened? They found that both sides were more likely to launch attacks on the days following a death on their own side. The exception to this rule was that Israel did not noticeably retaliate against Qassam launches. This is perhaps because Qassams are so ineffective: out of 3,645 recorded launches, they killed 15 people.These graphs show the number of "extra" actions on the days following a event, averaged over the whole 8 years, according to a statistical method called the Impulse Response Function. Note that the absolute size of the effects is larger for the Israeli retaliations (the Y axis is bigger); there were a total of 4,874 Palestinian fatalities and 1,062 Israeli fatalitiesThe authors then used another method called Vector Autoregression to discover more about the relationship. In theory, this method controls for the past history of actions by a given side, so that it reveals the number of actions independently caused by the opposing side.the number of Qassams fired increases by 6% on the first day after a single killing of a Palestinian by Israel; the probability of any Qassams being fired increases by 11%; and the probability of any Israelis being killed by Palestinians increases by 10%. Conversely, 1 day after the killing of a single Israeli by Palestinians, the number of Palestinians killed by Israel increases by 9%, and the probability of any Palestinians being killed increases by 20%....retaliation accounts for a larger fraction of Palestinian compared with Israeli aggression: in the levels specification, 10% of all Qassam rockets can be attributed to prior Israeli attacks on Palestinians, but only 4% of killings of Palestinians by Israel can be attributed to prior Palestinian attacks on Israel.... 6% of all days on which Palestinians attack Israel with rockets, and 5% of all days on which they attack by killing Israelis, can be attributed to retaliation; in contrast, this is true for only 2% of all days on which Israel kills Palestinians.What are we to make of this? This is a good paper as far as it goes, and it casts doubt on earlier analyses finding that Israel is retaliating against Palestinians but not vice versa. However, the inherent problem with all of this research (beyond the fact that it's all based on correlations and can only indirectly imply causation), is that it focuses on individual acts of violence. The authors say, citing surveys, thatOver one half of Israelis and three quarters of Palestinians think the other side seeks to take over their land. When accounting for their own acts of aggression, Israelis often claim to be merely responding to Palestinian violence, and Palestinians often see themselves as simply reacting to Israeli violence.But I don't think many Israelis would argue that the IDF only kills individual Palestinians as a reflex reaction to a particular attack. They're claiming that the whole conflict is a defensive one, that the Palestinians are the aggressors, but that doesn't rule out their taking the initiative on a tactical level e.g. in destroying Palestinian military capabilities before they have a chance to attack. And vice versa on the other side.WW2 was a war of aggression by the Axis powers, but that doesn't mean that the Allies only killed Axis soldiers after they'd attacked a certain place. The Allies were on the offensive for the second half of the war, and eventually invaded the Axis's own homelands, but it was still a defensive war, because the Axis were responsible for it.For Israel and for Palestine, the other guys are to blame for the whole thing. Who's right, if anyone, is fundamentally a historical, political and ethical question, that can't be answered by looking at day-to-day variations in who's shooting when.Comment Policy: Please only comment if you've got something to say about this paper, or related research. Comments that are just making the case for or against Israel will get deleted.Haushofer J, Biletzki A, & Kanwisher N (2010). Both sides retaliate in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
