Every person thinks and acts a little differently than the other 7 billion on the planet. Scientists now say that variations in brain connections account for much of this individuality, and they’ve narrowed it down to a few specific regions of the brain. This might help us better understand the evolution of the human brain as well as its development in individuals Via Sakis Koukouvis Delete the scoop?

When Bad Things Happen to Children: a new book to help parents & teachers talk to their children about tramatic news
'This is a free downloadable e-book to be used with children to help them ask questions & express their feelings about the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Children across the USA & around the world are aware of & impacted by the events. The series of verses to be read with children will encourage them to draw & write about the events. Parents & educators can choose which verses to share based on the child's age & response to the material (aimed at elementary school aged children).' Delete the scoop?

Research into diet and depression should follow the model of studies into diet and cardiovascular risk. So argue experts in a recent opinion piece.
Janet Devlin's insight:
'The authors, from the universities of Las Palmas and Navarra, assess the evidence into links between diet and depression and find it lacking. ”Depression is similar in many aspects to heart disease” they explained. “Both are associated with low-grade inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and worse lipid profiles. This tends to suggest that the underlying causes, such as a diet high in trans fats, are also the same.”' Delete the scoop?

Image series and other data help researchers shed new light on the rare and devastating condition of second impact syndrome.
Janet Devlin's insight:
'The take-away message in this study, according to co-author Michael Turner, MD, "is that there must not be a return to play if the athlete is at all symptomatic. A normal CT scan will not identify a patient who can be released to play. The mechanism of SIS is probably hyperemia [increased blood in the brain], not occult hematoma."
SIS rarely occurs, but the effect is usually devastating when it does happen, and the patient often dies. The authors stress the importance of educating coaches, athletes, family members, and treating physicians about the risks and possible consequences of sports-related head injuries.' Delete the scoop?
