The reason that there's no hover state for those links is that the links
are rectangular.  If you hover your mouse over them and look at the status
bar of your browser so that you can see the destination of the link you
can see that the edges of the links drop vertically from the top of the
diagonal lines, so it is possible to point at the 'Home' link and get to
the 'Study' page.

To have shaped links you would have to use image maps or Flash.
