Naps with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep refresh the brain's empathetic sensitivity for evaluating human emotions by decreasing a negative bias and amplifying recognition of positive emotions. view more (2009-06-10)
Tobacco exposure in womb may slow arousal response and help explain increased cot death risk among babies of smokers
A slower arousal response, as a result of tobacco exposure in the womb, might explain the increased risk of cot death (SIDS) among babies of smokers, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-12-17)
