Women`s brains are different from men`s. That`s not news. What is news is that the differences are smaller than most people believe. They are not big enough to say that one sex is smarter or better at math than the other.

Kids asked to physically gesture at math problems are nearly three times more likely than non-gesturers to remember what they`ve learned. In today`s issue of the journal Cognition, a University of Rochester scientist suggests it`s possible to help children learn difficult concepts by providing gestures as an additional and potent avenue for taking in information.

Alcohol and smoking can be harmful, if not deadly. While the desire for these substances can be due to environmental cues, genomic factors also play an important role. The etiology of these desires is multifactorial and a result of complex interactions with the environment. Adoption and twin studies have shown that the use of these substances is likely to be inherited. Such studies have provided evidence that one`s sex can influence the genetic factors for alcohol and tobacco use.

The internal clock in living beings that regulates sleeping and waking patterns -- usually called the circadian clock -- has often befuddled scientists due to its mysterious time delays. Molecular interactions that regulate the circadian clock happen within milliseconds, yet the body clock resets about every 24 hours. What, then, stretches the expression of the clock over such a relatively long period?
