Numbers In Our Hands
Simple numerical tasks, such as classifying digits as odd or even by pressing left or right buttons, reveal that we like to associate small numbers with left space. Where does this preference come from? Could it reflect the fact we all learned numbers by counting on our fingers?

Improving Anxiety Treatment Through The Help Of Brain Imaging: A Potential Future Treatment Strategy
Wouldn't it be nice if our doctors could predict accurately whether we would respond to a particular medication? This question is important because research studies provide information about how groups of patients tend to respond to treatments, but inevitably, differences among groups of patients with the same diagnosis mean that findings about groups of patients may not apply to individuals from those groups.

Study Shows Racial Discrimination Has Different Mental Health Effects On Asians
The first national study of Asians living in the United States shows that for some individuals, strong ties to their ethnicity can guard against the negative effects of racism. For others, strong ties to ethnicity can actually make the negative effects of discrimination worse. And the mental health effects of such discrimination may shift over a lifetime as Asian-Americans continue to examine their ethnic ties, say researchers.
