The Mystery and Magic of Glia: A Perspective on Their Roles in Health and Disease
Ben A. BarresCurriculums:
In this article, Ben Barres reviews recent evidence that glial cells are critical participants in every major aspect of brain development, function, and disease. Far more active than once thought, glial cells powerfully control synapse formation, function, and blood flow. They secrete many substances whose roles are not understood, and they are central players in CNS injury and disease. I argue that until the roles of nonneuronal cells are more fully understood and considered, neurobiology as a whole will progress only slowly.

Preliminary Reflections on the Adaptation of one form of Osteopathic palpation to Acupuncture
Daniel Bensky, D.O.Curriculums:
Fondateur du Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine The goal of this brief article is to accomplish two simple things. First, introduce a type of palpation adapted from the osteopathic world to serve the practice of acupuncture. While simple and easy to practice, it does take some time to become proficient at this technique. After practicing it for over ten years, I believe I have achieved a modicum of proficiency; enough in any case to present it to the audience of the NAJOM which is well versed in various palpatory techniques. After a brief description of the background to this technique and going over how to practice it, I would like to both talk about some clinical ramifications and use some of my findings utilizing it to look at some of meridian therapy's basic assumptions from a slightly different perspective
