New York, NY (February 13, 2003)--Our brains are the basis of who we are our intellect, our personality, and our emotional states. At the same time, diseases of the brain rank at the top of the list of our most serious health problems, accounting for more long-term care and chronic suffering than all other medical problems put together. Thus, researchers have long sought to learn more about how the brain works, and how to treat a myriad of brain-related disorders -- from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's, from multiple sclerosis to stroke; from traumatic brain injury to spinal cord injury, and from depression to pain. For the first time, a single, comprehensive home reference, The DANA Guide to Brain Health, is making all of their discoveries accessible to the lay public, along with practical, hands-on advice.

Researchers found that even a small increase in the number of women who have passed through that door to a managerial position dramatically increases other women's chances of being hired or promoted into that position. The result: a Catch-22 situation with important implications for the movement of women into management, as well as for the national affirmative action debate.
