| 'Rain Man'-like brains mapped at using MRIs and network analysis Posted: 28 Feb 2013 02:13 PM PST Combining hospital MRIs with the mathematical tool known as network analysis, a group of researchers has mapped the three-dimensional global connections within the brains of seven adults who have genetic malformations that leave them without the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right sides of the brain.  |
| Adult sleepwalking is serious condition that impacts health-related quality of life Posted: 28 Feb 2013 12:58 PM PST A new study found that adult sleepwalking is a potentially serious condition that may induce violent behaviors and affect health-related quality of life.  |
| The safer sex? For a little-known primate, a new understanding of why females outlive males Posted: 28 Feb 2013 12:56 PM PST Researchers studying aging in an endangered lemur known as the Milne-Edwards' sifaka report that in old age, females are the safer sex.  |
| Action video games boost reading skills, study of children with dyslexia suggests Posted: 28 Feb 2013 09:41 AM PST Much to the chagrin of parents who think their kids should spend less time playing video games and more time studying, time spent playing action video games can actually make dyslexic children read better, new research suggests. In fact, 12 hours of video game play did more for reading skills than is normally achieved with a year of spontaneous reading development or demanding traditional reading treatments.  |
| Aggressive advertising makes for aggressive men Posted: 28 Feb 2013 08:33 AM PST Does advertising influence society, or is it merely a reflection of society's pre-existing norms? Where male attitudes are concerned, a new study implicates magazine advertisements specifically aimed at men as helping to reinforce a certain set of views on masculinity termed "hyper-masculinity."  |
| Novel wireless brain sensor unveiled: Wireless, broadband, rechargeable, fully implantable Posted: 28 Feb 2013 06:38 AM PST In a significant advance for brain-computer interfaces, engineers have developed a novel wireless, broadband, rechargeable, fully implantable brain sensor that has performed well in animal models for more than a year.  |
| Brain-to-brain interface allows transmission of tactile and motor information between rats Posted: 28 Feb 2013 06:38 AM PST Researchers have electronically linked the brains of pairs of rats for the first time, enabling them to communicate directly to solve simple behavioral puzzles. A further test of this work successfully linked the brains of two animals thousands of miles apart -- one in Durham, N.C., and one in Natal, Brazil.  |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2013 05:02 AM PST Order tends towards disorder. This is also true for quantum states. Measurements show that in quantum mechanics this transition can be quite different from what we experience in our daily lives.  |
| Three overstretched DNA structures confirmed Posted: 28 Feb 2013 05:02 AM PST A novel discovery brings a close to a 17-year-old scientific debate about the impact of mechanical stretching on the structure of DNA.  |
