  1. Review: Encounter with postwar giants at Southwest Chamber Music festival

    Southwest Chamber Music's 2013 L.A. International New Music Festival, in progress at the Colburn School's Zipper Concert Hall, is doing its attentive bit to broaden international musical relations. We hear too little music from Mexican, Korean or even Venezuelan composers.

Thankfully in such matters, Southwest can serve as an indispensable diplomat.

    Depression affects 1 in 6 Americans in the course of his or her lifetime. And while antidepressant medications have seemingly revolutionized treatment, making the depressed well again is a largely hit-or-miss proposition. A review of advances in depression treatment published in the Lancet this week acknowledges the limitations of current treatment, but looks ahead hopefully to several new therapies -- among them, deep-brain stimulation.

  8. A heart-and-mind link

  9. Use of atypical antipsychotics for lesser disorders is gaining ground, despite safety concerns
