Mice whose immune systems responded to stress by overproducing an inflammatory compound called interleukin-6 were more likely to become depressed.

PRAIRIE VOLE, OXYTOCIN AND PAIR BONDING

////////////////////////he animals in question, prairie voles, are a special case, models of faithfulness that put humans to shame when it comes to the delicate topic of monogamy. Once hitched, the rodents stick with their mates for life--an example of moral pulchritude in the animal kingdom that many of us human sinners can never hope to emulate. 


///////////////////////////Despite numerous preventive strategies including prophylaxis with 400 IU/day of vitamin D in recent years, the deficiency of vitamin D in infants is still a global health problem.


////////////////////////
Pyloric stenosis is the most common condition requiring surgery in infants. It is typically not present at birth but develops within the first weeks after birth. The etiology is largely unknown, but bottle-feeding has been suggested as a risk factor.
This study demonstrated that bottle-fed infants had a 4.6-fold increased risk of developing pyloric stenosis compared with infants who were not bottle-fed. The result adds to the evidence supporting the advantage of exclusive breastfeeding in the first months after birth


///////////////////////////
It's said that life is short. But people living in developed countries typically survive more than twice as long as their hunter-gatherer ancestors did, making 72 the new 30, according to new research.
Most of the decline in early mortality has occurred in the past century, or four generations, a finding that calls into question traditional theories about aging, the study authors noted.


//////////////////////////The "marshmallow test" is an experiment which measures how much self-control a preschooler has - will they eat one enticing marshmallow now, or will they hold back and wait for the promised two? It is an experiment that has been around for over forty years and is said to reflect how well preschoolers are likely to do later on in life.

COFFEE, EXFOLIATIVE GLAUCOMA

//////////////////
People who drink at least three cups of coffee a day might be increasing their risk of developing glaucoma, which can lead tovision loss or blindness, according to Harvard University researchers.
Specifically, caffeinated coffee appears to be associated with a type of glaucoma called exfoliation glaucoma, which is characterized by tiny fibers peeling from the eye's lens that can cause a pressure build-up, the researchers said.


////////////////////////////The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved extended-release methylphenidate hydrochloride oral suspension for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)


/////////////////////////........... but Twain was really notorious for weak endings. In many of his books he began brilliantly but ran out of steam at the end. The endings of Connecticut Yankee and Prince and the Pauper in particular are both quite lame – especially the latter.


//////////////////Thomas Hobbes, for example, believed that humans in a "state of nature," or what today we would call hunter-gatherer societies, lived a life that was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short" in which there existed a "warre of all against all." This led him to conclude, as many apologists for dictatorship have since, that a stable society required a single leader in order to control the rapacious violence that was inherent to human nature

///////////////////////////////Children in smaller families are only slightly more likely to survive childhood in high mortality environments, according to a new study of mothers and children in sub-Saharan Africa seeking to understand why women, even in the highest fertility populations in world, rarely give birth to more than eight children. 


////////////////////////////.........
A team of Israeli researchers followed participants for four years after an initial two-year workplace-based study to try and answer these questions. Participants followed one of three weight loss plans: a low-fat, low-calorie diet; a Mediterranean-style, low-calorie diet; or a low-carb eating plan without calorie restrictions.
Overall, the Mediterranean diet led to the most dramatic changes, but people on the other diets also did pretty well. A Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats like olive oil, and moderate amounts of alcohol. It is also low in sweets, meats, and saturated fats like butter.

Researchers may have discovered yet another potential use for the widely usedcholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins.
In a new study, older people with high cholesterol who had taken statins for two years had an 8 percent reduced risk of developing open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of the eye disease.


/////////////////////////////  A new study reveals that there are two preventable reasons child pedestrians are hit by cars: they are not properly supervised, and they are distracted by mobile devices, such as MP3 players and cell phones.

//////////////////////////Babies born into low-income, urban environments develop wheezing illnesses and asthma more often than suburban infants, and these findings have prompted research to identify the viral pathogens that lead to asthma or indicate predisposition to the disease.

//////////////////////////SCIAM...........When babies are five months old, they can distinguish among faces of all races equally well. Past studies show they can, for instance, match a happy sound with many kinds of happy faces with equal ease. Yet by nine months, babies react more swiftly to their own race than others: they differentiate more readily between faces and match emotional sounds with facial expressions faster. A study from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, published in May in Developmental Science, showed that the younger infants use only the frontal part of the brain for the task. By nine months, babies also recruit the occipital-temporal region, where recognition happens in adults.

/////////////////////Psychologists call this the 'illusion of transparency'. It's the idea that we feel our emotions are transparent to others when in fact they are not, or at least not as much as we think.


/////////////////////////.......Use pain as a teacher.
Cato’s early Stoic training was as hard and uncompromising as he hoped to become. He walked around Rome in unusual clothing with the goal of getting people to laugh at him. He learned to subsist on a poor man’s rations. He went barefoot and bareheaded in heat and rain. He learned how to endure sickness in perfect silence.
What was the point? Pain and difficulty could build endurance and self-control. Cato was drilling himself to become indifferent to all things outside the magic circle of the conscience

///////////////////////////..............The data unequivocally showed that Mondays are as pleasant to Americans as the three days that follow, and only a trifle less joyful than Fridays. Perhaps no surprise, people generally felt good on the weekend—though for retirees, the distinction between weekend and weekdays was only modest

///////////////////////............We attribute [boredom] with problems in the environment rather than the problems with ourselves


//////////////////////FENSKE....."I speculate that people might experience a lot of boredom in modern times because we are experiencing intense entertainment," said one of the researchers. "We're used to being passively entertained and that constant stimulation puts us at risk for [more] boredom in the future."

Men who eat lots of tomatoes and tomato-based products may have a lower risk for stroke, a new study suggests.

/////////////////////////////BRN NETWORK X READING SKILLS=
The growth pattern of long-range connections in the brain predicts how a child’s reading skills will develop, according to research published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Literacy requires the integration of activity in brain areas involved in vision, hearing and language. These areas are distributed throughout the brain, so efficient communication between them is essential for proficient reading.
