Road Rage - What Annoys Drivers The Most?
Road rage, or driver aggression, is a major safety concern and is thought to be a contributory factor in almost half of all car crashes, researchers from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) reported in Accident Analysis and Prevention. The authors say that identifying what causes drivers to get irritated, and finding strategies to prevent driver aggression is a top priority for road safety. Apparently, exposure to gasoline vapors can make us more aggressive. Among the traffic behaviors that make drivers' blood boil are hostile displays, cutting in, weaving and speeding...

Hallucinogenic drug ibogaine is associated with a long QT interval
Tabernanthe iboga 1.5 out of 5 stars Life-threatening complications of ibogaine: three case reports. Paling FP et al. Neth J Med 2012 Nov;70:422-424. Abstract Ibogaine is a psychoactive alkaloid found in the bark of the root of the iboga plant (Tabernanthe iboga), a shrub that grows in the rain forests of western Central Africa. The plant is an important adjunct to Bwiti religious ceremonies in Gabon.

Capture of D2 Dopamine Receptor Signaling Complexes in Striatal Cells for Mass Spectrometry Proteomic Analysis
In recent years advancements in proteomic techniques have contributed to the understanding of protein interaction networks (Interactomes) in various cell types. Today, high throughput proteomics promises to define virtually all of the components of a signaling and a regulatory network within cells for various molecules including membrane-spanning receptors. The D2 dopamine receptor (D2R) is a primary mediator of dopamine transmission in the brain. Signaling through D2Rs has been linked to dopamine-mediated effects on motivation, reward, locomotion and addiction to drugs of abuse. In the striatum, the D2R is a key mediatory...

5 Tips on How to Keep New Year’s Resolutions
Why bother to make resolutions and then feel disappointed or guilty for breaking them? Do you get excited and resolve to change, but within days or weeks lose interest and can’t motivate yourself?

Long-Term Opioid Therapy Reconsidered: Addiction is Not Rare in Pain Patients

In an interview, Dr. Portenoy now says: “Clearly, if i had an inkling of what I know now then,I wouldn’t have spoken in the way that I spoke. It was clearly the wrong thing to do”.
