Too Much of Videogames Hampers Study Time in Children

...t the University of Texas at Austin, US, wanted to observe how these games might influence academics and social relationships. They gathered data from a sample of children aged 10 to 19 who tracked their activities on a random weekday and a random weekend day. Of the 1,491 who participated, 534 or about 36...

Harnessing Immune System Power Heralds Next Era of Cancer Treatment

...ment of more sophisticated imaging technologies to observe the immune stimulating agents. "The team we have assembled for this program represents the Canadian leaders in this field, and will be conducting a series of laboratory experiments designed to enhance the activity of our experimental immune stimula...

New Oncogene for Brain Cancer

...expressed. This system allows the researchers to observe whether a gene identified in a correlation study plays an active role in tumorigenesis. It also permits the delivery and study of combinations of genes. They found that a combination of IGFBP2 and another known oncogene called K-Ras leads to develo...

Autism Children can Be Diagnosed Within One Year of Age

... contrast, children with typical development would observe the parents shift in gaze, look at the same object, and share in an exchange with the parent about the object of mutual focus. During engagement, children have many prolonged opportunities to learn new words and new ways to play with toys while hav...

Nanospectrometer Aids in Identifying Nutrient Cycle

...a nutrient. Capone and Nealson also were able to observe cellular differentiation: as the single-stranded organism grows, the nitrogen concentration in the cell halfway between two existing heterocysts falls below a threshold. Its basically allowing us to image elements at very high resolution. The drop ...

Brain Pathway for Depression Revealed

...on cameras capture the action. The researchers can observe how different stimuli received by the animal, such as a dose of an antidepressant drug, affect circuit operation. The researchers used slices of rat brain, Deisseroth said, "like a computer repair technician would take out a circuit board" to test ...

Food Fortification With Folic Acid Does The Trick

Tourettes Syndrome in Children may also Result in Superior Learning Skills

...the speed of the response, the researchers did not observe any loss of accuracy in the picture-naming test by children with the disorder. This may mean that the brain abnormalities we see in Tourettes syndrome may lead not only to tics but also to a much wider range of unsuppressed and rapid behaviors, Ul...

Study Finds Abdominal Fat Not the Prime Cause for Metabolic Syndrome

Eyelid Spasm can Be Prevented by Coffee Drinking

...the other group. Regression analysis was used to observe the relationship between coffee drinking and smoking on the development of blepharospasm.The authors say: Our findings raise doubt about the association of smoking and blepharospasm but strongly suggest coffee as a protective factor. The most obvio...

New Imaging Technique may Help Detect Multiple Sclerosis Early

...in of a mouse. When the researchers used CARS to observe the condition of the mice thereafter, they saw an influx of calcium ions into the myelin. Boffins now believe that this influx may be behind the beginning of the process of myelin degradation....

Study Finds That Fruit Flies also Have Free Wills

...ssumed to be input-output devices. When scientists observe animals responding differently even to the same external stimuli, they attribute this variability to random errors in a complex brain," Brembs said. As part of the study, researchers tethered fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) in completely unif...
