<br/><br/> "Sometime in their 50's, half the members of an aristocratic Italian family die of insomnia. In their search to understand their obscure gothic affliction, they inadvertently helped explain the cause of mad cow disease." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article traces the history of fatal familial insomnia (FFI) in one family, examining the findings of a researcher who contends that prions, or "deviant proteins," cause both FFI and mad cow disease.
