Risky teen behavior may not occur at home or school: but how to track?
How can researchers track where teens go when not in or near home or school to see if this movement has an impact on health-related behavior such as smoking or sexual activity" The answer is through that ubiquitous teen accessory - the cell phone. view more (2008-03-25)
Chronic Alcohol Exposure Can Affect Brain Protein Expression
Researchers at the University at Buffalo studying the effects of alcohol on the brain, using zebrafish as a model, have identified several novel central nervous system proteins that are affected by chronic alcohol exposure. view more (2006-08-30)
Robots can learn from their mistakes
In the near future, intelligent, automated robots will help us in a number of different fields, such as transports, cleaning, mining, and agriculture. These robots will steer themselves without human involvement and will plan their own tasks. This makes great demands on safety, so that people, animals, or other things in the environment are not... view more... (2004-09-10)
Early parenting plays key role in infants' physiological response to stress
In infancy, genes are the key influence on a child's ability to deal with stress. But as early as 6 months of age, parenting plays an important role in changing the impact of genes that may put infants at risk for responding poorly to stress. view more (2008-09-16)
2 genes influence social behavior, visual-spatial performance in people with Williams syndrome
Unraveling the genetics of social behavior and cognitive abilities, researchers at the University of Utah and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have traced the role of two genes,GTF2I and GTF2IRD, in a rare genetic disorder known as Williams Syndrome. view more (2009-02-12)
Researchers at UCLA engineering discover theoretical model to predict jamming
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have come up with a theoretical model to predict when granular materials become jammed. view more (2008-04-28)
Social interactions can alter gene expression in the brain, and vice versa
Our DNA determines a lot about who we are and how we play with others, but recent studies of social animals (birds and bees, among others) show that the interaction between genes and behavior is more of a two-way street than most of us realize. view more (2008-11-07)
New candidate genes for schizophrenia identified
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disease characterized by disorganized behavior, delusions and hallucinations. Sadly, there is no clear understanding of its cause. view more (2008-10-21)
Parental conflict may affect children's behavior and learning by disrupting their sleep
For years, researchers have known that children who grow up in homes with high levels of conflict tend to have behavior and learning problems. view more (2006-02-10)
Alarming rise in Israeli road deaths after terror attacks shown by Hebrew University and Princeton researchers
Terror attacks in Israel produce an alarming though temporary rise in the number of people killed in road accidents, a study conducted by Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Princeton University researchers has found. view more (2004-09-26)
Nuclear physicists examine oxygen's limits
Physicists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have made a unique measurement of an exotic oxygen nucleus, leading scientists one step closer to deciphering the behavior of the element at its limits of existence. view more (2007-09-14)
Tissue stiffness drives tumor formation
The relationship between tissue rigidity and tumor formation is fairly well established; however, what is not so well understood is what happens on a molecular level that contributes to such stiffness. view more (2005-09-23)
Rutgers physicists show how electrons 'gain weight' in metal compounds near absolute zero
Rutgers University physicists have performed computer simulations that show how electrons become one thousand times more massive in certain metal compounds when cooled to temperatures near absolute zero - the point where all motion ceases. view more (2007-11-02)
Forsyth scientists trigger cancer-like response from embryonic stem cells
Scientists from The Forsyth Institute, working with collaborators at Tufts and Tuebingen Universities, have discovered a new control over embryonic stem cells' behavior. view more (2008-10-14)
Children and teens taking antidepressants might be more likely to attempt, complete suicide
Antidepressant medications may be associated with suicide attempts and death in severely depressed children and adolescents but not in adults. view more (2006-08-08)
Psychologist increases preschooler compliance in study
Parents and teachers can dramatically increase the compliance of preschool children who don't obey - and head off serious behavior problems down the road - by closely following a little-known, three-step "guided compliance" regimen. view more (2006-09-29)
Rutgers physicists discover novel electronic properties in two-dimensional carbon structure
Rutgers researchers have discovered novel electronic properties in two-dimensional sheets of carbon atoms called graphene that could one day be the heart of speedy and powerful electronic devices. view more (2009-10-15)
Move over mean girls -- boys can be socially aggressive, too
Society holds that when it comes to aggression, boys hit and punch, while girls spread rumors, gossip, and intentionally exclude others, a type of aggression that's called indirect, relational, or social. view more (2008-09-16)

Team identifies a molecular switch linking infectious disease and depression
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that IDO, an enzyme found throughout the body and long suspected of playing a role in depression, is in fact essential to the onset of depressive symptoms sparked by chronic inflammation. view more (2009-04-01)
