Funding Supported Employment: Are There Better Ways?

This article describes different methods used by state Vocational Rehabilitation agencies to fund time limited supported employment services. Findings are reported from a survey of 385 vendored supported employment provider agencies regarding types of reimbursement method used, the influence of different types of methods on key consumer outcomes, and recommendations for improving funding system...

There are many ways to train a fly.

A biological understanding of memory remains one of the great quests of neuroscience. For over 30 years the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has primarily been viewed as an excellent vehicle to find 'memory genes'. However, the recent advent of sophisticated genetic tools to manipulate neural activity has meant that these genes can now be viewed within the context of functioning neural circuit...

How many ways are there to generate small RNAs?

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Lee et al. show that Neuropsora crassa uses several Dicer-dependent and -independent pathways to generate miRNA-like RNAs and small-interfering RNAs. Their studies expand the known small RNA biogenesis pathways and suggest the existence of others that are yet to be discovered.

Unacceptable emergency wait times.

P30: Are There Anxious Genes?

Anxiety comprises many clinical descriptions and phenotypes. A genetic predisposition to anxiety is undoubted; however, the nature and extent of that contribution is still unclear. Extensive genetic studies of the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) transporter (5-HTT) gene have revealed how variation in gene expression can be correlated with anxiety phenotypes. Complete genome-wide linkage s...
