Exploration of the Human Brain using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
A large body of molecular and neurophysiological evidence attaches synaptic plasticity and connectivity to specific functions and energy metabolism in particular areas of the brain. A favourable approach to investigating various brain functions in humans that enables a well-defined modulation of neuronal excitability and energy is to stimulate the brain using a dedicated transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocol and then to observe the effect on neurometabolites and brain functioning using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging. tDCS is a non-invasive technique for brain stimulation that modulates the level of cortical excitability (hyper- or hypo-polarisation of the membranes) to investigate the biochemical and physiological roles of the brain. The technique is also utilised for clinical and therapeutic purposes, such as depression, chronic pain, epilepsy, stroke-induced aphasia or Parkinson's motor symptoms, and can also be used to boost ongoing activities, including accelerated learning, focus, memorisation or relaxation.

Women and Sexuality in China
This book analyzes major Chinese governmental publications that deal with sexuality in 1950, when the new Marriage Law was enacted, and 1980, with the Second Marriage Law. Evans (Chinese, Univ. of Westminster) is well grounded in both feminist and Chinese studies, which allows her to deepen her analysis with references to China's present-day pop culture and conversations she has had with Chinese colleagues. Her major finding is that Chinese discourses consistently use medical and/or scientific explanations of gender differences to, essentially, denigrate women. Evans's analysis is consistent with much that has been written on China's political system?that it cannot survive without maintaining order and stability. However, she assumes that the audience is fluent in postmodernist language.
