   11-02-2006 · EurekAlert!
   The stickiness of human neurons may have been a key factor in why the human brain evolved beyond the brains of our primate relatives. In a study comparing the genomes of humans, chimpanzees and other vertebrates, researchers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Joint Genome Institute (JGI) found a strikingly high degree of genetic differences in DNA sequences that appear to regulate genes involved in nerve cell adhesion molecules.

6. A clever catchphrase goes a long way -- even if you don't get the joke
   02-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study discusses the benefits of slogans with multiple meanings, like a cell phone company using "The Clear Alternative," or a tax-preparation service advertising that "You Get More in Return." The researchers found that some people are better at recognizing additional meanings than others, but also that degree of understanding has little impact on how well people respond to the catchphrases. In fact, consumers who didn’t get the joke often expressed the greatest appreciation of the punned slogans.

   05-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study finds that the heat setting you choose when doing laundry makes all the difference when it comes to killing dust mites. The researchers found that washing laundry in hot water -- 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 ºC) or higher -- kills all house dust mites, compared with just 6.5 percent of dust mites in laundry washed at 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 ºC), or warm water. The study is being presented at the American Thoracic Society 2007 International Conference, on Sunday, May 20.
