Contribution of medial versus lateral temporal-lobe structures to human odour identification.
To investigate possible distinct contributions of different temporal-lobe structures to odour identification, the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test was administered monorhinally to seizure-free patients who had undergone one of three types of temporal-lobe resection practised in three different institutions for surgical treatment of epilepsy. The resections were neocorticectomy (Dublin), selective amygdalohippocampectomy (Zurich), or anterior temporal-lobe resection with encroachment on amygdala and hippocampus (Montreal). Resections, analysed from MRI scans, showed unexpected encroachment on medial structures in most patients of the neocorticectomy groups, and largest amygdala and hippocampal resections in the amygdalohippocampectomy groups. Impaired odour identification was observed in all patient groups, irrespective of surgical approach, with greatest impairment in the nostril ipsilateral to the resection. The finding ofto watch batting practice as players send balls flying over the Monster. I would encourage first time visitors to take batting practice in down by the Green Monster.

But the highlight for me was the actual game and the fans. I love my Texas Rangers, but at many games the seats are empty and people are not focused on the game. Not true with Red Sox fans at Fenway Park. The fans are involved in every pitch, and the energy that is conveyed on television is multiplied at the actual game.

Because of the nasty weather and the fact that the Red Sox were losing most of the game, the crowd was somewhat muted. However, that does not mean the fans were quiet. When the Red Sox made a rally
