TLDR
The hypothesis that a functional cortical motor area deafferentation is involved in the pathophysiological makeup of akinesia and that this abnormality is reversed by dopaminergic drugs is supported.
Volcanism and nuclear winter
Ozone, dust, smoke and humidity in nuclear winter
Recent correspondence on nuclear winter is commented on. Reasons are given for why the Tunguska meteor explosion may not be useful in calibrating the effects of a major nuclear exchange. The…

Nuclear Winter: Global Consequences of Multple Nuclear Explosions
TLDR
The potential global atmospheric and climatic consequences of nuclear war are investigated using models previously developed to study the effects of volcanic eruptions, finding long-term exposure to cold, dark, and radioactivity could pose a serious threat to human survivors and to other species.
“Nuclear winter” to be taken seriously
Nuclear winter not yet established
Talk of some of the consequences of nuclear warfare had better be postponed until the underlying assumptions are better understood.
From Santorini to Armageddon
North American tree-ring data confirm that volcanic eruptions can cause climatic change. So would nuclear war, but to a degree not yet calculable.
