| Visual exposure predicts infants' ability to follow another's gaze Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:25 PM PDT Following another person's gaze can reveal a wealth of information critical to social interactions and also to safety. Gaze following typically emerges in infancy, and new research looking at preterm infants suggests that it's visual experience, not maturational age, that underlies this critical ability.  |
| Bigger government makes for more satisfied people Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:23 PM PDT People living in countries with governments that spend more on social services report being more contented, according to a new study.  |
| Do gut bacteria rule our minds? In an ecosystem within us, microbes evolved to sway food choices Posted: 15 Aug 2014 04:22 PM PDT It sounds like science fiction, but it seems that bacteria within us — which outnumber our own cells about 100-fold — may very well be affecting both our cravings and moods to get us to eat what they want, and often are driving us toward obesity.  |
| Guidelines can predict early menopause in child cancer survivors, giving hope for fertility Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:22 AM PDT Girls with cancer who are most likely to become infertile after treatment can be identified using guidelines developed almost 20 years ago, new research shows. The criteria will help to select which girls should be offered the opportunity to freeze some tissue from their ovaries for use in the future.  |
| Human milk fat improves growth in premature infants Posted: 15 Aug 2014 07:22 AM PDT For premature infants, adequate growth while in the neonatal intensive care unit is an indicator of better long-term health and developmental outcomes. Researchers have now successfully incorporated a cream supplement into premature infants' diets that improved their growth outcomes in the NICU.  |
| Vitamin D deficiency may reduce pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF Posted: 14 Aug 2014 04:15 PM PDT Women with a vitamin D deficiency were nearly half as likely to conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF) as women who had sufficient levels of the vitamin, according to a new study. Long known for its role in bone health, vitamin D is a steroid hormone that is emerging as a factor in fertility.  |
