New study: Pine bark extract reduces ADHD symptoms in children
A new study reveals that Pycnogenol, (pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, reduces ADHD in children.

Oligodendrocytes, Homunculus and surgery for Epilepsy
Guess what each of them have in common?

If you, like me, were unaware of the oligodendrocytes link with Penfield,
