| To 'think outside the box,' think outside the box Posted: 23 Jan 2012 02:58 PM PST Want to think outside the box? Try actually thinking outside of a box. In a new study, researchers had students think up solutions to problems while acting out various metaphors about creative thinking and found that the instructions actually worked.  |
| Lifelong brain-stimulating habits linked to lower Alzheimer's protein levels Posted: 23 Jan 2012 01:33 PM PST People who have made mental engagement a lifelong habit have lower levels of a key protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study by neuroscientists. The findings could provide support for cognitive therapies to help prevent the onset of a debilitating disease.  |
| Nurturing mothers rear physically healthier adults Posted: 23 Jan 2012 09:39 AM PST Nurturing mothers have garnered accolades for rescuing skinned knees on the playground and coaxing their children to sleep with lullabies. Now they're gaining merit for their offspring's physical health in middle age. While children raised in families with low socioeconomic status frequently go on to have high rates of chronic illness in adulthood, a sizable minority remain healthy across the life course, new research shows.  |
| Women report feeling pain more intensely than men, says study of electronic medical records Posted: 23 Jan 2012 08:55 AM PST Women report more intense pain than men in virtually every disease category, according to researchers who mined a huge collection of electronic medical records to establish the broad gender difference to a high level of statistical significance.  |
| Benefits of high quality child care persist 30 years later Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:37 AM PST Adults who participated in a high quality early childhood education program in the 1970s are still benefiting from their early experiences in a variety of ways, according to a new study.  |
| Pictures of food create feelings of hunger Posted: 19 Jan 2012 07:17 AM PST Researchers have demonstrated something scientifically for the first time that laypeople have always known: the mere sight of delicious food stimulates the appetite. A study on healthy young men has documented that the amount of the neurosecretory protein hormone ghrelin in the blood increases as a result of visual stimulation through images of food. As a main regulator, ghrelin controls both eating behavior and the physical processes involved in food metabolism.  |
| Walking and texting at the same time? Study says think again Posted: 18 Jan 2012 02:32 PM PST Talking on a cell phone or texting while walking may seem natural and easy, but it could be dangerous and result in walking errors and interfere with memory recall. Researchers found this to be the case in a study of young people walking and using their cell phones.  |
