Exposure to light overnight might drive fat gain. In one study, mice exposed to light 24 hours a day gained 57% more fat than those on a normal 12-hour light cycle — despite eating and moving the same amount.

10 years ago, thrombectomy gave us hope against the darkest strokes. I've watched patients walk out of hospitals who once would have not. But too many still suffer without access. Your donation to Mission Thrombectomy means someone's mother, father, child gets a second chance at life.

Is your ability to remember temporal lobe anatomy temporary? You can see it best on coronal images   Centrally in the temporal lobe is the old allocortex (hippocampus, etc) that is preserved going back to rats Laterally is the neocortex involved in the newer higher functions
