  1. Five killings at Camp Liberty in Iraq: Calculation or despair?

    JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, WASH. — The court-martial of Army Sgt. John Russell concluded Saturday with a military judge asked to decide whether the 14-year Army veteran was deluded by depression and despair as he shot five fellow service members in Iraq, or was executing a calculated plan of revenge against psychiatrists who had blocked his hopes for an early exit from the Army.

  2. Of course you're stressed. Just look at you.

    We all know the face of stress: the clenched jaw, the furrowed brow, the intense stare. And, really, it's not a bad look. We all do some of our best work under pressure. Adrenaline and other stress hormones give us the kick start we need to meet deadlines and generally get ahead in life.

  8. Robby Benson opens up about his heart in many ways in iBook

    "I have eclectic fans because I've had a very eclectic career. When someone comes up to me, they may be from the days of 'The Chosen'; it may be completely from Broadway," says actor Robby Benson. "So I'm never sure what might surprise them the most. Maybe the fact that I'm still alive."

  9. To prevent stroke injury, sing, dance, touch, look, move?

    For those&nbsp;lucky enough to have the first signs of a stroke recognized by friends or family, things often get&nbsp;very quiet very quickly as 911 calls are made, gurneys are wheeled in and&nbsp;tests are conducted. University of California Irvine neuroscientist <a title="The lab from which research emerges" href="http://frostiglab.bio.uci.edu/" target="_blank">Ron D. Frostig</a> says that if rats are any guide to human health (and they&nbsp;often are the starting point for new treatments), stroke victims might do a lot better with a quick dose of stimulation instead.

  10. Soldiers' brains bear scars of emotional wounds

    Eighteen months after they have returned from a war zone, soldiers bear&nbsp;an unmistakable sign of emotional trauma deep inside their brains. But in&nbsp;most,&nbsp;a key node of the brain's fear circuitry returns to normal, perhaps&nbsp;keeping&nbsp;mental illness such as post-traumatic stress disorder (<a title="PTSD: Have you been screened?" href="http://www.militarymentalhealth.org/Welcome.aspx" target="_blank">PTSD</a>)&nbsp;from developing,&nbsp;says a new study published Tuesday in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

  11. Rodent of the Week: Ritalin and Prozac -- a troubling combo for children?

    Four in 10 kids who get a diagnosis of either depression or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) end up getting both diagnoses sometime in their young lives. That means a lot will spend&nbsp;some part of their adolescence&nbsp;taking two psychiatric medications: methylphenidate (better known by its commercial name, Ritalin) and fluoxetine (better known as Prozac, the only of the new-generation antidepressants approved for kids as young as 8 years old). A <a title="study abstract in Journal of Neuroscience" href="http://www.jneurosci.org/content/31/28/10347.abstract" target="_blank">new study</a> conducted on rats suggests that taking that combination of drugs may change the adults they will become in ways that are distinctly troubling.
