| Why humans are so sociable these days Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:52 PM PST Humans have evolved to become the most flexible of the primates and being able to live in lots of different social settings sets us apart from non-human primates, suggests new research.  |
| Starlings help to explain irrational preferences Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:31 PM PST Research into decision-making by European starlings may help to explain why many animals, including humans, sometimes exhibit irrational preferences.  |
| Being told painting is fake changes brain's response to art Posted: 20 Dec 2011 05:26 PM PST Being told that a work of art is authentic or fake alters the brain's response to the visual content of artwork, academics have found.  |
| Mediterranean diet gives longer life, Swedish study suggests Posted: 20 Dec 2011 12:41 PM PST A Mediterranean diet with large amounts of vegetables and fish gives a longer life, according to Swedish research. A number of studies since the 1950s have shown that a Mediterranean diet, based on a high consumption of fish and vegetables and a low consumption of animal-based products such as meat and milk, leads to better health.  |
| Breastfeeding promotes healthy growth Posted: 20 Dec 2011 10:39 AM PST Breastfed children follow a different growth pattern than non-breastfed children, new research shows. Breastfeeding lowers the levels of the growth hormones IGF-I and insulin in the blood, which means that growth is slightly slower. This is believed to reduce the risk of overweight and diabetes later in life.  |
| Which wheats make the best whole-grain cookie doughs? Posted: 20 Dec 2011 10:38 AM PST Festive cookies, served at year-end holiday gatherings, may in the future be made with a larger proportion of whole-grain flour instead of familiar, highly refined white flour.  |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2011 10:37 AM PST Anxious study participants aren't as physiologically sensitive to subtle changes in their environment as less fearful individuals, new research shows. Researchers reason that anxious people could have a deficit in their threat evaluation capacities, which are necessary for effective decision-making and fear regulation.  |
