Drug Used To Improve Lung Function In Infants Could Slow Down Motor Coordination
A therapy routinely given to newborns to prevent or treat chronic lung disease may result in slower neuromotor and cognitive // functioning by school age say researchers based on findings of a recent study . Studies in the past have shown that dexamethasone, a drug known as glucocorticoid, often improves lung function in the short-term and allows for early weaning from mechanical ventilat...Study Finds That Brain Areas Of People With Autism Do Not Work In Coordination
In two revolutionary studies, brain scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have discovered that in autistic people// the method by which their brain process information is the basic anatomical difference differentiating them from normal people. It was explained that in studies that were conducted previously it was shown that a reduced amount of coor...Slow brain waves integral in coordination of complex activity
Berkeley – It is well known that the output of nerve cells is the messenger of information between regions of the brain, //yet it is still unclear about how widely separated regions of the cortex involving billions of cells come together to assist a complex activity. A new study by neuroscientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and neurosurgeons and neurologists at UC San Fran...Fish Oil Improves Toddler’s Hand-eye Coordinatio
Archives of Disease in Childhood recently published a study which proves that fish oil supplements given to pregnant women improved the hand-eye coordination of toddlers.// The trial was done on 98 women who were put on 4 g of fish oil/olive oil supplements from 20th week of their pregnancy till the birth of their child. Only non-smokers and those who did not routinely eat m...Lack of Sleep Affects Eye-steering Coordination Needed While Driving
A new study has given yet another reason why sleep deprived people should never get behind the wheel, by finding that lack of a good nights rest can hamper the coordination of horizontal eye movements that is needed while steering a vehicle. The study was conducted on a group of 6 participants by Mark Chattington of Manchester Metropolitan University, who asked the volunteers to dr...
