A helpful article that could be used for AS (effect of the media) or
A2 (chemicals and the brain). It is a response from the authors of an
research paper looking at the effect of GABA on impulsivity. Their
research was linked to brain chemicals in rioters during the recent
disturbances.
The article is here: Riot control: How can we stop newspapers
distorting science?
