It’s commonly said that we humans use only about 10 percent of our brains, with some people attributing Einstein’s brilliance to his ability to stretch that paltry figure to 15 percent.
But in the video above, neurologist Dr. Richard Cytowic debunks these familiar notions, arguing that brain regions once believed to be “silent” are actually humming with activity.

A Pennsylvania medical examiner reports more than a dozen people have died in recent weeks from overdosing on laced heroin thought to be sweeping the region.
Allegheny County medical examiner Dr. Karl Williams said Thursday that laboratory tests confirmed that the ultra-potent painkiller fentanyl was present in heroin samples seized in connection with at least 14 overdose deaths in Pennsylvania, according to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Fentanyl, which is typically prescribed to cancer patients as a last resort, can be 10 to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to CNN. The laced heroin has been sold under street names like “Bud Ice” and “Theraflu.”

How germy are those lemon wedges we plop into our water glasses at restaurants?
A slice of lemon can spruce up plain-old water, but you might be drinking more than you bargained for. Turns out, those seemingly innocuous water glass garnishes (see also: iced tea and diet soda) could be serving up a host of unappetizing organisms.

If you’ve ever known someone with depression or have battled it yourself, you’re deeply aware of the accidental insensitivity that can often come with it. For those who may not understand the complexities, it’s easy to say things that have the potential to do more harm than good.
While the U.S. has one of the lower clinical depression rates in the world, the number of people it has an impact on is still significant. An estimated 1 in 10 Americans suffer yearly from the illness.

In 2005, a young woman named Jill appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” with her brutally honest father, Kirk, to talk about what it was like being “the fat one in the family.” Overweight and feeling shunned, Jill — then known as Jill Roberts — listened as her father shared his harsh criticisms of her.
“Does it bother me when we’re out in public that Jill’s overweight? It does. I’ll be honest,” Kirk said back then.
“I just have this built-up hatred, like, ‘What is wrong with you? Why don’t you love me?'” Jill said, through tears.

New details have emerged in the case of a British woman who admitted to a triple killing last year.
Joanna Dennehy, 31, pleaded guilty in November to murdering three men by stabbing them in the heart and dumping their bodies in ditches in Cambridgeshire.
Her alleged accomplices, Leslie Layton, 36, and 7-foot-2-inch Gary “Stretch” Richards, 47, are now on trial. Providing evidence against them, Dennehy’s friend Georgina Page described how the confessed killer likened herself and Richards to Bonnie and Clyde, and “jumped around like a schoolgirl” when she learned of news reports about the murders, according to the BBC.

Ten years ago, I was almost 60 pounds more than I am now.
I had cut my hair short, added a few highlights and really had this frumpy vibe going on. I had two kids at the time, ages 6 and 2. I was trying to be taken seriously as a good mommy and had let myself go. I was eating a ridiculous amount of sugar. I cared way too much about what other women thought of me. I formed new friendships with the moms from school and they frequently revolved around food. I hated the way I looked, but I fit in. After seeing the pictures from a trip to Disney with my family, I wondered how I let it happen. I knew I was wearing a size 14 and at five feet tall, it looked like I was wearing an even bigger size. I had a double chin and knew if I didn’t stop this weight train, I’d be even bigger.
