These congenital abnormal vascular connections frequently enlarge over time. The lesions can occur on a familial basis. Patients may be asymptomatic, although they often present with headaches, seizures, or small parenchymal hemorrhages. In most patients, cavernous angiomas are solitary and asymptomatic. In recent times, increasing MRI has detected several such asymptomatic cases and has prompted a study into the genetics and natural history of this condition. It is now known that cavernous angiomas have a genetic basis. Familial forms of cavernous angiomas are associated with a set of genes called CCM genes (cerebral cavernous angioma). This is a case repor...

But according to Time to Eat the Dog? The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, dogs are worse for the earth than SUVs. We’ll have to read the book to find out exactly why, but we’re guessing it has to do with unsustainable pet food and plastic toys. Eco Salon suggests that if you aren’t already a dog-owner, you may want to try a more eco-friendly pet like a hamster, canary, fish, or cat. But…but…but…We love dogs. We think that as long as you try to make your pet’s life as green as you can, you should adopt that puppy you’ve been visiting in the shelter. After all, who el...

In Canada, the GRE general test is now $180 and the Psychology subject test is $150. If you live in the US, there is a fee reduction program you can apply for (see here for info), but I didn’t find anything similar for Canadians. If any Canadian readers know of any GRE subsidies or bursaries, please share.In light of this information, unless there is any demand for this study guide to continue, this may very well be the last entry. If anyone has any specific questions, they may feel free to contact me.I’m too lazy to link all of the previous pages, but you can find them in the archives and under the label “GRE”.

Cognitive dissonance theory states that when an elicited behaviour is inconsistent with an individual’s attitude, tension (dissonance) results and either the behaviour or the attitude is changed as a result of this difference between what one believes and what one does. b. An exchange is when one person gives something to another person in return for something else (money, protection, food). c. Self-awareness, or self-perception, theory states attitudes are the result of observed behaviours. For example, if you repeatedly buy unicorn figurines, you might infer that you really like un...

This past week, conventional wisdom was once again turned on its head with the publication of a study by University of Wisconsin-Madison psychology professor Janet Hyde and her colleagues showing that girls are just as good as boys in math. But, as you’ll read on, you’ll learn researchers have known this for years. Why this continues to be “news” or the conventional wisdom is beyond me. Though girls take just as many advanced high school math courses today as boys, and women earn 48 percent of all mathematics bachelor’s degrees, the stereotype persists that girls struggle with math, says researcher Hyde. Not only do many parents and teachers believe this, but scholars also use it to explain the dearth of female mathematic...
