LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 24 (UPI) -- A neuroscientist says a project he is working on at the University of Louisville in Kentucky uses magnetism to treat individuals with autism.

Dr. Manuel Casanova said rather than providing autism sufferers with medication, his research team has been exposing patients' brains to a low-frequency magnetic field to help them in their battle against the medical condition, the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal said Tuesday.

"This therapeutic intervention is so simple and doesn't have the side effects," Casanova said.

If a whole Web page doesn't fit in a single window, life's too short to use the scroll bar. Even the mouse's wheel, if it has one, requires some time-consuming precision. Instead, press the Space bar to see the next screenful (when your insertion-point cursor isn't in a text box, of course). Press the Option/Shift key with the Space bar to scroll up again. (The Page Up and Page Down keys work, too, but the Space bar is a bigger target.)
