Bonding with a mate changes brain chemistry, researchers find
Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:18:00 -0700
Voles who became separated from a mate produced higher levels of a chemical that has been linked to depression. Losing a partner 'has a dramatic impact on the brain,' one of the study's authors says. Working with mouse-like rodents called prairie voles, scientists have found that close monogamous relationships alter the chemistry of the brain, fostering the release of a compound that builds loyalty, but also plays a role in depression during times of separation.

Drop in TB funding could set back fight against AIDS
Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
About 11 million of 33 million HIV-positive people have TB, a Nobel laureate warns, and if financially troubled nations renege on aid pledges, it would deprive the poor of treatment. Fearing that the global economic crisis could cause nations to renege on commitments to fight tuberculosis, new Nobel laureate and HIV co-discoverer Francoise Barre-Sinoussi warned that a drop in TB funding could wipe out gains made against AIDS because so many people suffer from both diseases.
