Dr. Bromage's is the first scientist to produce a reconstruction of the skull that questions Richard Leakey's depiction of modern man's earliest direct ancestor as having a vertical facial profile and a relatively large brain -- an interpretation widely accepted until now.

7. Aggressive treatment for whiplash does not promote faster recovery
   05-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Whiplash, the most common traffic injury, leads to neck pain, headache and other symptoms, resulting in a significant burden of disability and health care utilization. Although there are few effective treatments for whiplash, a growing body of evidence suggests that the type and intensity of treatment received shortly after the injury have a long-lasting influence on the prognosis.

8. How stress alleviates pain
   12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   One way to alleviate the pain of banging your shin while on a hike is to encounter a grizzly bear -- a well-known phenomenon called stress-induced analgesia. Now, researchers have elucidated a key mechanism by which the stress hormone noradrenaline -- which floods the bloodstream during grizzly encounters and other stressful events -- affects the brain's pain-processing pathway to produce such analgesia. Pankaj Sah and colleagues published their findings in the Dec. 6, 2007, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press.
