Impulsive personality linked to food addiction Posted: 24 Jan 2014 01:12 PM PST The same kinds of impulsive behavior that lead some people to abuse alcohol and other drugs may also be an important contributor to an unhealthy relationship with food, according to new research.

Psychologists document the age our earliest memories fade Posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:57 AM PST Although infants use their memories to learn new information, few adults can remember events in their lives that happened prior to the age of three. Psychologists have now documented that age seven is when these earliest memories tend to fade into oblivion, a phenomenon known as "childhood amnesia." The study is the first empirical demonstration of the onset of childhood amnesia, and involved interviewing children about past events in their lives.

Do doctors spend too much time looking at computer screen? Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:57 AM PST When physicians spend too much time looking at the computer screen in the exam room, nonverbal cues may get overlooked and affect doctors' ability to pay attention and communicate with patients, according to a study.

Aspirin intake may stop growth of tumors that cause hearing loss Posted: 24 Jan 2014 08:07 AM PST Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that Aspirin intake correlates with halted growth of vestibular schwannomas (also known as acoustic neuromas), a sometimes lethal intracranial tumor that typically causes hearing loss and tinnitus.

Do religious people love their neighbors? Yes, some neighbors, study finds Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:37 AM PST Most religions teach their followers to "Love thy neighbor" -- including those of different races or beliefs. But is religiousness really related to love of neighbors? A study provides partial support for that idea.

40 percent of parents learn how to use technology from their children Posted: 24 Jan 2014 05:27 AM PST Scientists have found that youth influence their parents in all technologies studied (computer, mobile Internet, social networking) up to 40 percent of the time. The children's scores were higher compared to parents, showing that parents don't necessarily recognize the influence.

Super bowl ads score with popular music Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:18 PM PST Researchers are wrapping up a 10-year study of popular music in Super Bowl commercials this year. Through this research they will illustrate the frequency in which advertisers employ popular music to market and relate with consumers.

Sports medicine physical of future could help athletes 'ESCAPE' sudden cardiac death Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:48 PM PST A young athlete in seemingly excellent health dies suddenly from a previously undetected cardiovascular condition such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in nearly every US state annually. Although these conditions can be detected using electrocardiography (ECG) during a screening exam, the American Heart Association recommends against routine use of ECG, because it has a high false-positive rate.

Liars find it more rewarding to tell truth than fib when deceiving others Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:47 PM PST A report based on two neural imaging studies that monitored brain activity has found individuals are more satisfied to get a reward from telling the truth rather than getting the same reward through deceit.

Telling the whole truth may ease feelings of guilt Posted: 23 Jan 2014 04:57 AM PST People feel worse when they tell only part of the truth about a transgression compared to people who come completely clean, according to new research.

Can fish oil help preserve brain cells? Posted: 22 Jan 2014 02:05 PM PST People with higher levels of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may also have larger brain volumes in old age equivalent to preserving one to two years of brain health, according to a study published. Shrinking brain volume is a sign of Alzheimer's disease as well as normal aging.

Proper sleep a key contributor to health, well-being Posted: 22 Jan 2014 12:36 PM PST Getting a good night's sleep means more than you probably think. Researchers suggest that the importance of sleep is underestimated by the general public.
