All emotions, envy and jealousy included, are drivers of survival. A response to our environment may be rather simple, such as seeing water and drinking it, but emotions drive a more organized and more intricate pattern of behavior. They influence a wide array of functions, both neurological and physiological. And some emotions are more complex than others.

The first thing that strikes me when I visit Alex in her supported accommodation is the huge lock on the kitchen door. The accessible rooms are devoid of any food or drink, the exception being two dispensers of sugar-free squash in the living room. Even the food-waste bin outside the back door is padlocked. Packages delivered to the home’s residents are opened in front of staff and searched for surreptitiously ordered food.

SCI COPY ISBN Neurologist Leschziner’s ( The Man Who Tasted Words) latest work is a fascinating look at how neuroscience can unlock and offer insight into why people act the way they do.

SummaryNeuropsychiatric symptoms in SLE and other systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) are challenging to diagnose, attribute and manage. We investigated the timings of onset of a broad range of neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms in relation to timing of SLE onset. In addition, we explored whether NP symptoms may be a prodrome to SARD onset and to subsequent flares. We collected patient reports of the timing of their first episode of 29 NP symptoms relative to SLE non-NP symptom onset.

Almost all of us snore. Some of our bedrooms are accompanied by a soundtrack of a gentle rhythmic hum, while others are filled with a loud rumble. For most, snoring can be considered entirely normal, but for some people, it is a marker that not all is well – it may be an indication of a condition known as sleep apnoea. Sleep apnoea refers to pauses in breathing during sleep. Rarely, this may be due to the brain not signalling for us to breathe – something known as central sleep apnoea.
