Genetic loci assigned for musical aptitude in Finnish families
Molecular and statistical genetic studies in 15 Finnish families have shown that there is a substantial genetic component in musical aptitude. Musical aptitude was determined using three tests: a test for auditory structuring ability (Karma Music test), and the Seashore pitch and time discriminati...Decision-Making Enabled By Neurons: Value Assigned To Available Choices.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have been able to pinpoint the neurons that are capable of deciphering the value that people attach// to different items. The activity of these neurons predicts the nature of decision making, when a person needs to choose from an array of items available. T...TNF Blockers May Help Some With Rheumatoid Arthritis
