Science Bulletins: The Roots of a Malaria Menace
Malaria kills more than a million people every year. Recently, an international team of biologists used genetic techniques to trace how the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum first emerged to infect humans. In their study of chimpanzees in West Africa, the researchers discovered that P. falciparum evolved from Plasmodium reichenowi, a species of chimpanzee malaria. Malaria thus began much like many other modern pandemics such as HIV, SARS, and swine flu—it jumped from animals to humans.

Science Bulletins: Amazon People Offer Clues to Heart Health
A long-term study of the Tsimane, a traditional community that lives in the Bolivian Amazon, is offering scientists a new perspective on the risks of heart disease. A recent report by anthropologists from the University of New Mexico and the University of California has found that although the Tsimane present a major risk factor—chronic inflammation—they don't show signs of cardiovascular disease.

Science Bulletins: Obesity's Genetic Markers
The rise in obesity in many modern societies is largely a result of environmental influences, yet genetic factors can make people more susceptible to weight gain. Scientists are uncovering the genetic markers that contribute to obesity so they can better understand the disease.
Mass murder of Kherson Jews
Vanda Kriger, who was born in 1925 in Kherson and lived there during the war years, describes how in late September 1941 her mother, together with other Jews, was transported from a prison in Kherson to a murder site, where they were shot.

Central Nervous System / Head & Neck
The neuroscience sequence is foundational in nature and stresses the organizational principles and structure/function relationships in the central nervous system. The course emphasizes the relationship between the gross organization of the Central Nervous System (CNS), its subdivision into specialized regions and the corresponding perceptions of sensory information and the nervous system control of behavior. The cell biology of the neuron, neurotransmitter systems and neuronal injury and repair
