| Researchers map neurons in the brain involved with social interactions with others in groups Posted: 21 Oct 2021 02:52 PM PDT In social experiments, three monkeys sat around a rotary table and took turns offering food to one of the other two monkeys. Certain neurons in the brain responded to the actions of other monkeys in the group and influenced an animal's upcoming decisions to reciprocate or retaliate. |
| Bat study reveals secrets of the social brain Posted: 21 Oct 2021 02:51 PM PDT Neuroscientists used wireless devices to record the neural activity of freely interacting Egyptian fruit bats, providing researchers with the first glimpse into how the brains of social mammals process complex group interactions. |
| Scientists look beyond the individual brain to study the collective mind Posted: 21 Oct 2021 02:51 PM PDT Scientists argue that efforts to understand human cognition should expand beyond the study of individual brains. They call on neuroscientists to incorporate evidence from social science disciplines to better understand how people think. |
| Spending time in nature promotes early childhood development Posted: 21 Oct 2021 09:10 AM PDT Want to ensure your child hits their expected developmental milestones? New research suggests living in areas with high exposure to green-space can help set them up for success. |
| Starting mammography at age 40 would reduce disparities in deaths for Black women Posted: 18 Oct 2021 02:22 PM PDT If Black women begin mammography screening every other year starting at age 40, breast cancer deaths could be reduced by 57 percent compared to starting screening 10 years later according to recent analyses. |
| Doctors should stop relying on ‘mental shortcuts’ when deciding patient care Posted: 18 Oct 2021 10:03 AM PDT Algorithms and analytics are now common used by professional sports, in sales forecasts, lending decisions and by car insurance providers. Managers and other decision makers no longer simply 'go with their gut.' But doctors often remain reluctant to introduce such information when making medical decisions for patients. It is time for many doctors to stop relying on their use of mental shortcuts, usually called decision rules or heuristics, when making decisions about patient care with limited cognitive resources, experts say. |
| For oxygen-deprived newborns, rewarming after cooling therapy can trigger seizures Posted: 18 Oct 2021 10:03 AM PDT Oxygen-deprived newborns who undergo cooling therapy to protect their brains are at an elevated risk of seizures and brain damage during the rewarming period, which could be a precursor of disability or death, a new study suggests. The finding could lead to better ways to protect these vulnerable patients during an often overlooked yet critical period of cooling -- or hypothermia -- therapy. |
| Filling half of kids' plates with fruits and veggies helps increase consumption Posted: 18 Oct 2021 07:59 AM PDT Filling half of a child's plate with fruits and veggies isn't just recommended by the United States Dietary Guidelines, it also helps increase the amount of produce that kids end up eating, according to new research. |
| Anglers need tailored messaging to inspire action on invasive species Posted: 18 Oct 2021 07:59 AM PDT Lakeside education campaigns discourage anglers from transporting aquatic hitchhikers between lakes, but new research hows those campaigns are less effective than they could be. According to the study, the key could be tailoring messaging in accordance with anglers' value systems and risk perceptions. |
| Cleaning the brain after ischemic stroke Posted: 18 Oct 2021 07:00 AM PDT Researchers identify the role of cell receptor CD300a in efferocytosis, a process by which dead cells are eliminated from the body. Mice deficient in CD300a exhibited an increase in efferocytosis in the brain following the induction of stroke and treatment with a CD300a-blocking antibody lessened the severity of neurological symptoms in stroke-induced mice. CD300a may represent a potential target for therapy in the treatment of ischemic stroke. |
