The Snail That Only Lives in a Hole inside Another Hole under a Sea Urchin
by Elizabeth Preston in Inkfish
If you think house hunting is hard, consider the plight?of this snail. It lives only in tide pools in southern Japan. Within those tide pools, it only lives in holes?carved out of rock—specifically, holes dug?by sea urchins. But it can only move into one of those holes after?the hole-digging urchin has moved out. When?a second, differently shaped sea urchin moves into the hole, it?leaves a gap between its spiny body and the wall of the burrow. It's this nook that the snail snuggles int........ Read more »

Coeliac disease, autism and more
by Paul Whiteley in Questioning Answers
"Compared with the general population, children with celiac disease had a 1.4-fold greater risk of future psychiatric disorders. Childhood celiac disease was identified as a risk factor for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, behavioral disorders, ADHD [attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder], ASD [autism spectrum disorder], and intellectual disability."So said the study findings reported by Agnieszka Butwicka and colleagues [1] who, yet again, relied on one of ........

[Objective] exposure to flame retardants and social behaviours
by Paul Whiteley in Questioning Answers
Although a few details of the study reported by Shannon Lipscomb and colleagues [1] (open-access) interested me, I was particularly taken by their use of "a silicone passive wristband sampler [worn] around his/her wrist or ankle" to "assess the child’s exposure to flame retardants" as part of their investigation "to determine if flame retardant exposure was associated with measurable differences in social behaviors among children ages 3–5 years."I've covered the topic of potential adver........

L-methylfolate administration and autism: a case report

I should have really titled this post 'another case report' given yesterday's entry on this blog talking about a case of [untreated] PKU and autistic behaviours/diagnosis.

Bottlenose Dolphins: The Ultimate Sea Bully? (A Guest Post)

A few coworkers, who have brought in disappointing lunches in comparison, approach and demand that you hand it over.

Caterpillars Recruit Friends with Anal Scraping
by Elizabeth Preston in Inkfish
Newly hatched caterpillars look helpless: they're teensy, soft and juicy, with no parent around for protection. But certain young insects, the masked birch caterpillars, are more capable than they seem. They gather in groups to keep themselves safe. To form those?groups, they use a previously undiscovered language of buzzes, vibrations, head banging and butt scraping.
The species,?Drepana arcuata, passes through five caterpillar life stages (called instars) on its way to becoming a li... Read more »

Radio Diagnostics of Electron Acceleration Sites During the Eruption of a Flux Rope in the Solar Corona by Eoin Carley et al.*
by CESRA in Solar Radio Science
Flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are thought to result from magnetic energy release in the solar corona, often involving the destabilisation of a twisted magnetic structure known as a flux rope (Chen et al. 2011, Webb et al. 2012). This activity may be accompanied by the acceleration of electrons?(Kahler 2007, Lin et al. 2011). However, there is ongoing debate on exactly where, when and how this particle acceleration occurs [...]... Read more »

Cosmic Dopamine: On "Neuroquantum Theories of Psychiatric Genetics"

Theory of Mind in Brain Development

Theory of Mind (ToM) is a concept describing the ability to understand what another person is thinking or feeling.Today in my neuroscience medicine news review I ran across a novel, interesting and important research study targeting brain development in ToM.Normally developing children develop ToM around 4 years of age.

Being multilingual in clinic
by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira in Being Multilingual
When we feel that we’re not feeling quite like ourselves, we may choose to consult a specialist in (un)well-being to find out what might be going on. Our decision will draw on what feeling well has felt like to us, which is our baseline for comparison. In order to decide that we’re unwell, in other words, we compare ourselves to ourselves.Children can’t make decisions of this kind on their own, so we adults will have to step in on their behalf. But who are ‘we’? We parents may resort t........ Read more »

P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Schooling nurtures development of academic ways of talking about things. This has come to be called ‘education’, in the sense that an ‘educated’ person is able to use language in this way. Schooling teaches us how, why and with whom our languages can be used to acquire knowledge formally, about history, chemistry, or geography, things that not all of us will have encountered at home, by these or any other names. It also teaches us that knowledge, of these a........ Read more »

Multilingualism and disorders

Descriptive norms draw on observation and tell us what people do, for example that interrupting your conversation partners is common in parts of southern Europe (which can be a sign of polite engagement in the exchange), or that fermented herring is a delicacy in parts of northern Europe (which can be a sign of Nordic stoicism).

Textbook languages
by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira in Being Multilingual
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Wanting to learn a language doesn’t always result in learning the language that we want. This is so even when the language that we want to learn and the one that we end up learning go by the same name – let’s call it X. One reason for this is that most language teaching proceeds through what we’ve come to identify as the language’s holy writ, namely, the X textbook. A textbook is a book. Like all books, it uses printed modes of language, with two consequ........ Read more »
