Mysterious 'neural noise' actually primes brain for peak performance

Researchers at the University of Rochester may have answered one of neuroscience's most vexing questions--how can it be that our neurons, which are responsible for our crystal-clear thoughts, seem to fire in utterly random ways?

Calcium Supplementation May Not Actually Prevent colon cancer say researchers

Researchers now say that calcium previously thought to inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells// may not actually be true due to inconsistent results obtained in a number of studies.
