The relationships we form as adults often echo those we had with our parents. According to attachment theory—one of the most influential frameworks in contemporary psychology—this is no coincidence: The attachment between an infant and a primary caregiver shapes the baby's future social ties. Yet little is known about the biological mechanisms underlying childhood attachment, mainly because it is so difficult to study the young brain in natural conditions.
When the federal government threatened to cancel billions in research funds from Harvard University—as it has also done to other research universities—the message was clear: Institutions that speak or think in ways elected officials dislike can expect to pay a price.
Developed by Stanford researchers, NeuroString is a hair-thin multichannel biosensor and stimulator with promising potential applications in drug delivery, nerve stimulation, smart fabrics, and more.
The health care industry is increasingly relying on artificial intelligence—in responding to patient queries, for example—and a new Cornell study shows how decision-makers can use real-world data to build sustainability into new AI systems.
Jakob von Uexküll was a Baltic German biologist ahead of his time, intrigued by the idea that animals inhabit unique perceptual worlds quite unlike our own. In 1934, he described angling for flies by swinging an adhesive-covered pea on a thread, finding that male flies would dive on the pea and be caught. Within the perceptual world of a fly, the swinging pea was a potential mate.
When the first cells appeared on Earth approximately 3.8 billion years ago, viruses were already here to greet them. Ever since, viruses have been devising ways to infect cells, and cells have been responding by evolving ways to stop these infections. This evolutionary dance eventually led to the development of your immune system.
Federal health officials are cracking down on telehealth companies' promotion of unapproved versions of prescription drugs, including popular weight loss medications.
Each year in the U.S., tens of thousands of deaths are categorized as "preventable"—meaning, in theory, they did not need to happen. A missed cancer screening, a fatal asthma attack or a death from untreated infection might all be counted as preventable.
Where a woman lives can shape her health during pregnancy as much as her own medical history, our new study suggests.
DermaRite Industries has widened its earlier recall of hand soaps to include 32 personal care products that could be contaminated with a dangerous bacteria, health officials report.
Recent research that measured fetal movements in pregnant women has found that higher frequencies were strongly linked to greater maternal attachment. Paying conscious attention to these signals may be a non-invasive and effective strategy for strengthening prenatal attachment and promoting more attentive and sensitive caregiving after birth.
Researchers from Karolinska Institutet, the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (Germany), Amsterdam UMC (Netherlands), in collaboration with other international partners, have conducted the most extensive study to date on adults who have never had sexual intercourse. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that lifelong sexlessness is associated with a multifaceted interplay of psychological, social, and genetic factors.
New RMIT research shows participation in outdoor activities helps to overcome loneliness and improve connection among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women.
Children diagnosed with autism are far more likely to experience ongoing gastrointestinal (GI) problems than their typically developing peers. That's the finding of a new UC Davis MIND Institute study published in Autism. The research also found that these stomach and digestive issues are linked to greater challenges with sleep, communication, sensory processing and behavior.
A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role in the fight against chronic infection and cancer.
Simple resistance training may help counteract age-related nerve deterioration that puts seniors at risk of injuries from falls and other accidents, according to cross-institutional research led by postdoctoral researcher JoCarol Shields and Department of Exercise Science Professor Jason DeFreitas.
New research presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna, Austria (Sept 15–19) and simultaneously published in NEJM shows that daily treatment with the new once-daily GLP-1 agonist orforglipron results in substantial weight loss in people living with obesity that do not have type 2 diabetes.
Leptin is a key hormone in the regulation of hunger and satiety. For the first time, a large international study has established comprehensive reference values for leptin across all age groups and weight classes. More than 12,500 people from 16 European studies took part.
Have you ever mentally mapped out the streets between your home and your workplace or favorite café, focusing solely on those two places without visualizing what exists in between them? If you have, you will know that, in our minds, it often seems there is no distance between the places that interest us… or at least not as much as there really is.
