    • Katie Raborn
      Katie Raborn on 05 Mar 13
       
      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.
    • Katie Raborn
      Katie Raborn on 05 Mar 13
       
      So brainwaves detect memory updating.
  • While past studies find this type of learning can occur in infants who are awake, this is the first study to document it in their most frequent state, while they are asleep
    • Katie Raborn
      Katie Raborn on 05 Mar 13
       
      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

      So when you go in to get a piercing, they don't typically use solution to sterelize anything, they only use the autoclave.
  • Cleaning can be achieved by first putting your tools in a ultrasonic with proper cleaning tablets or Alconox and scrubbing them at least once during the ultra sonic cycle.
