PASSing on the Healing - PASS Awareness Week

PASS Awareness Week June 25-29

The PASS Foundation has designated June 25-29 as “PASS Awareness Week”, with a special ?PASS Awareness Day? on June 29th.

PASS is an acronym for Post Abortion Stress Syndrome, and is a name for a collection of problems that can affect some women after an abortion.

PASS Awareness Week also marks the third anniversary of the PASS Online Support Site, http://www.afterabortion.com

The PASS support site has been helping women, men and family members affected by abortion since June 1998. The site provides help through non-political, non-religious “peer support” discussion, volunteer helpers, online recovery groups and various resources and information. The site’s numerous and busy message boards provide specialized support for many different post-abortion situations, as well as common recovery issues.

The PASS Foundation is a politically neutral, non-religion affiliated organization that seeks to have PASS treated as a medical issue for women, not as a political or religious one.

Music and Language are Processed by the Same Brain Systems

Scientists have long debated whether or not language and music depend on common processes in the mind. Now, scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have found evidence that the processing of music and language do indeed depend on some of the same brain systems. Their findings, which are currently available on-line and will be published later this year in the journal NeuroImage, are the first to suggest that two different aspects of both music and language depend on the same two memory systems in the brain. One brain system, based in the temporal lobes, helps humans memorize information in both language and music- for example, words and meanings in language and familiar melodies in music. The other system, based in the frontal lobes, helps us unconsciously learn and use the rules that underlie both language and music, such as the rules of syntax in sentences, and the rules of harmony in music……..
