1. Study identifies multiple genetic risk factors for prostate cancer
   04-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A study led by researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California and Harvard Medical School has identified seven genetic risk factors that predict risk for prostate cancer. According to the study's findings, these risk factors are clustered in a single region of the human genome on chromosome 8 and powerfully predict a man's probability of developing prostate cancer.

   08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A reversal of tectonic plate motion between Acapulco and Mexico City in the last half of 2006 probably didn't ease seismic strain in the region or the specter of a major earthquake anticipated there in the coming decades, says a University of Colorado at Boulder professor.

6. Where the brain makes sense of speech
   12-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have identified regions of the brain where speech sounds are perceived as having abstract meaning, rather than as just a stream of sensory input. They said their identification of the regions demonstrates that the understanding of speech does not just emerge from lower-level processing of speech sounds, but involves a specialized perceptual region.Steven Small and his colleagues published their findings in the Dec. 20, 2007, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press.

7. Brain center for 'sound space' identified
   09-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain terra incognita. Now, researchers have identified the region responsible for a key auditory process -- perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds. The findings settle a controversy in earlier studies that failed to establish the auditory region, called the planum temporale, as responsible for perceiving auditory space.

8. NASA-funded robotic sub makes final dive to reach bottom of Earth's deepest sinkhole
   05-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences and other institutions begin the final leg of a five-year, NASA-funded mission to reach the bottom of Cenote Zacatón in Mexico, the world's deepest known sinkhole, hoping to learn about Zacatón's geology, geothermal vents and forms of life. Previous expeditions tested the robotic probe that makes the dive, DEPTHX, designed to explore for life in extreme regions on Earth and in outer space.

   While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain "uncharted territory." Now, researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and elsewhere have identified a region responsible for a key auditory process -- perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds, even when the listener is not concentrating on those sounds.

10. Earthquake experts at Tel Aviv University turn to history for guidance
    10-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
    The best seismologists in the world don't know when the next big earthquake will hit. But a Tel Aviv University geologist suggests that earthquake patterns recorded in historical documents of Middle Eastern countries indicate that the region's next significant quake is long overdue.
