      Summary- Research in Nicaragua's Bosawas Biosphere Reserve showed that male dogs seem to enjoy better success rates than younger and female dogs do. Variables such as age and sex play a big role in finding your good hunting dog. The older the better, as well as the bigger the better. Males tend to always be bigger than female dogs and with having a big dog it's able to track larger prey therefore returning more game and making out for a better hunter.

      They tested the newborns by the repeating tones. Could they test other things to figure out how newborns learn while sleeping? How do they know if they aren't just dreaming instead of learning?
  • After about 20 minutes, 24 of the 26 babies squeezed their eyelids together when the tone was sounded without the puff of air.
  • The brain waves of the 24 infants were found to change, providing a neural measurement of memory updating.

      So brainwaves detect memory updating.

    • Katie Raborn

      Infants learn while their awake but can also be found while they are asleep.
  • Learned eyelid movement reflects the normal functioning of the circuitry in the cerebellum, a neural structure at the base of the brain. This study's method potentially offers a unique non-invasive tool for early identification of infants with atypical cerebellar structure, who are potentially at risk for a range of developmental disorders, including autism and dyslexia, she said.
  • Newborn infants' sleep patterns are quite different than those of older children or adults in that they show more active sleep where heart and breathing rates are very changeable," she said. "It may be this sleep state is more amenable to experiencing the world in a way that facilitates learning."
  • Another factor is that infants' brains have greater neural plasticity, which is the ability for the neural connections to be changed

  • First Direct Evidence That ADHD Is a Genetic Disorder: Children With ADHD More Likely to Have Missing or Duplicated Segments of DNA
  • ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder -- in other words, that the brains of children with the disorder differ from those of other children.
  • New research provides the first direct evidence that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a genetic condition. Scientists at Cardiff University found that children with ADHD were more likely to have small segments of their DNA duplicated or missing than other children.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • "Too often, people dismiss ADHD as being down to bad parenting or poor diet. As a clinician, it was clear to me that this was unlikely to be the case. Now we can say with confidence that ADHD is a genetic disease and that the brains of children with this condition develop differently to those of other children."
  • The condition is highly heritable -- children with ADHD are statistically more likely to also have a parent with the condition and a child with an identical twin with ADHD has a three in four chance of also having the condition.
  • "Children with ADHD have a significantly higher rate of missing or duplicated DNA segments compared to other children and we have seen a clear genetic link between these segments and other brain disorders," explains Dr Nigel Williams. "These findings give us tantalising clues to the changes that can lead to ADHD."
  • ADHD is not caused by a single genetic change, but is likely caused by a number of genetic changes, including CNVs, interacting with a child's environment," explains Dr Kate Langley.
