...benefits are grounded in biology, says Flexer. The brain's auditory networks are not fully developed until about age 15, so kids require a quieter environment and a louder signal than do adults when absorbing spoken information. Flexer has found that special-education referrals are fewer in classrooms that are wired for sound, compared with ordinary classrooms, where background noise and distractions compete with the teacher's voice. She believes a sound system is as vital to learning as adequate lighting...
...quick aside here though: Is the factoring of sacks into rushing yardage in college football not one of the ten stupidest things currently happening in the world? A major reason Lehigh netted only 26 yards rushing against the Crimson D was Brad Bagdis’ game-ending sack of brain-farting Sedale Threatt for an 18-yard loss. The Mountain Hawks gained 87 yards on the ground and “lost” 61, 56 of them on seven sacks...
...keep me awake? This can’t be healthy, can it? But, as always, my adrenaline rushes as I think of 9 a.m.—that all-important time of the market opening. This far outweighs the negative thoughts that always manage to creep into my brain when I’m awake before many of my friends have gone...
...Central to this work will be the investigation of how extraordinary stress related to deep poverty, abuse, neglect, and/or discrimination affects the development of the brain beginning the earliest years of life,” said Jack P. Shonkoff, director of the new center and professor of child health and development at the School of Public Health (HSPH) and Graduate School of Education (GSE), in a press release...
...fact, even the most ardent proponents of genome-comparison research acknowledge that pretty much everything we know so far is preliminary. "We're interested in traits that really distance us from other organisms," says Wisconsin's Carroll, "such as susceptibility to diseases, big brains, speech, walking upright, opposable thumbs. Based on the biology of other organisms, we have to believe that those are very complex traits. The development of form, the increase in brain size, took place over a long period of time, maybe 50,000 generations. It's a pretty complicated genetic recipe...
