Both EurekAlert and ScienceDaily have a story called "Sense of taste different in women with anorexia nervosa". The stories have been "adapted" from a press release issued earlier today by the University of California, San Diego.
This "adaption" is nothing more than a reproduction of the press release, spelling mistakes included:
...a new study finds that women with anorexia have distinct differences in the insulta -- the specific part of the brain that is important for recognizing taste -- according to a new study by University of Pittsburgh and University of California, San Diego researchers currently on line in advance of publication in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
Something I like even less than the syndication of copy by news agencies is syndication of my own "copy", especially when I haven't given permission.
Update: I've just received this email from the "author" of Boleman & Friends:
.I'm sorry about that, I was just posting them to my site so my mom could see them opposed to sending her links. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sending her a PDF of the articles instead. Again, I'm sorry for ripping articles off of your site.

The insulta is clearly located adjacent to the crockus.
