Some researchers went looking for evidence that low to moderate alcohol consumption could stave off brain problems. That is not what they found.
Nobody wants to think about their brain's shrinking. But our brains do so as we
age, by about two percent every ten year. According to a new article in the Annals of Neurology, that figure is higher for people who drink.
The authors request that people remember that the correlation that was found is between drinking and decreases in brain size, not brain function.

Mauricio Delgado, a cognitive neuroscientist at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, and his colleague Elizabeth Phelps of New York University measured the brain activity of 15 volunteers as they played a simple game.

Dr. Gabor Mate sees ghosts. They're not the paranormal kind but regular people afflicted by a condition that Mate says originates in the brain: addiction. In his book "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts," Mate argues that addiction defies easy fixes and requires compassion ahead of judgment or punishment. Mate, who works in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside, said in an interview he aimed to show his patients have turned to drugs and alcohol to set right an imbalance in their brain chemistry that often stems from a life of neglect and abuse.

Most vaccines are made from extracted or re-created proteins, but these guys are trying the whole plasmodium vivax, killed with radiation. So far, the process seems too cumbersome to be practical, but unlike sole-protein vaccines, it doesn't leave people collapsing in the middle of a conference.
So far it looks pretty tough. They have to remove the salivary glands by hand and it takes the whole team an hour to do just eighty mosquitoes.
On a more amusing note, you know how they kill the mosquitoes without killing the parasites? Ethanol. Drink up, kiddo.
