Our college has just opened a new campus and I've been told that I can
suggest a basic psychology library to be included in the new budget. The
catch is that the list has to be ready in two days. Can anyone suggest an
existing list of a basic contemporary psych collection that I can use as
Some have none at all. Myelin in generally found on axons
that cover great distances. I would be surprised to find
myelin on an interneuron with an axon that was less than a
millimeter long. Yes, there are many neurons in that

Hi Nancy:
I am fairly sure this is a myth. I don't have a reference handy but I
believe it began as an investigation someplace in the midwest where
there seemed to be a relatively high rate of Alzheimer's correlated with
a relatively high amount of ground aluminum in the drinking water, hence

Yes, this is what I had in mind and I thank you for responding. Mine was a
genuine question, not meant to be merely rhetorical. Given that some

in Alzheimer's patients, we would then admit, in a "deviance model," that
