| Sharing space: Proximity breeds collaboration Posted: 25 Oct 2012 02:46 PM PDT A new study shows that when researchers share a building, and especially a floor, the likelihood of forming new collaborations and obtaining funding increases dramatically. The findings have wide relevance to corporations, as well.  |
| Exercise boosts satisfaction with life, researchers find Posted: 25 Oct 2012 01:17 PM PDT Had a bad day? Extending your normal exercise routine by a few minutes may be the solution, according to researchers, who found that people's satisfaction with life was higher on days when they exercised more than usual.  |
| Robots in the home: Will older adults roll out the welcome mat? Posted: 25 Oct 2012 01:15 PM PDT Robots have the potential to help older adults with daily activities that can become more challenging with age. But are people willing to use and accept the new technology? A new study indicates the answer is yes, unless the tasks involve personal care or social activities.  |
| Impact of adversity on early life development demonstrated Posted: 25 Oct 2012 10:09 AM PDT It's time to end the nature versus nurture debate and embrace growing evidence that it's the interaction between biology and environment that influences human development. One study by evolutionary biologists using fruit flies showed that food deprivation and lack of adequate nutrition in early life had significant impact on adult behavior and quality of life.  |
| Omega-3 intake heightens working memory in healthy young adults Posted: 25 Oct 2012 09:24 AM PDT In the first study of its kind, researchers have determined that healthy young adults ages 18-25 can improve their working memory even further by increasing their Omega-3 fatty acid intake.  |
| Workouts in extreme weight-loss TV fuel negative attitudes about exercise, study finds Posted: 25 Oct 2012 09:24 AM PDT The Biggest Loser might be a TV ratings winner, but its extreme depiction of exercise is more likely to turn people off than get them off the couch, according to new research.  |
| Resveratrol falls short in health benefits, study shows Posted: 25 Oct 2012 09:24 AM PDT Resveratrol, an ingredient in red wine thought to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce risk of heart disease and increase longevity, does not appear to have those benefits in healthy women, according to new research.  |
| Lonely older adults face more health risks Posted: 25 Oct 2012 08:02 AM PDT Research has shown that lonely older adults are at greater risk of developing health problems, but a new study offers hope. In a forthcoming article, the author shows that older adults who approach life with a positive outlook can reverse the negative health issues associated with a lonely life.  |
| Gene that's usually bad news loses its punch if you live to your 90s Posted: 25 Oct 2012 07:57 AM PDT A gene linked to the risk of developing Alzheimer's, heart disease and diabetes becomes less important to quality of life once people hit their 90s, a new study shows. At that point, good friends and a positive attitude have a bigger impact, the researchers say.  |
| When she says, 'It's not you, it's me,' it really might be you, study suggests Posted: 25 Oct 2012 06:55 AM PDT Long after women have chosen Mr. Stable over Mr. Sexy, they struggle subconsciously with the decision, suggests a new study from researchers who look at subtle, unconscious behaviors during ovulation. At their most fertile period, these women are less likely to feel close to their mates and more likely to find fault with them than women mated to sexually desirable men, according to the research.  |
