| Being in nature: Good for mind, body and nutrition Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT Researchers have investigated how nature relatedness -- simply feeling connected with the natural world -- benefits dietary diversity and fruit and vegetable intake. |
| Study: Economic burden of PTSD 'staggering' Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT A new study finds that the national economic burden of PTSD goes beyond direct health care expenses and exceeds the costs of other common mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. The researchers estimated the cost of PTSD at $232.2 billion for 2018, the latest year for which data were available at the time of the study. |
| Study reviews COVID-related hospital visitation limits and family stress Posted: 25 Apr 2022 10:59 AM PDT Efforts by hospitals to protect people from COVID-19 by restricting them from visiting family members in ICUs may have contributed to a significant increase in stress-related disorders, according to new research. The study reports that nearly two-thirds of those restricted from visiting were suffering from stress-related disorders three months after their family member was hospitalized. |
| 'I know this song!' Evolutionary keys to musical perception Posted: 25 Apr 2022 09:11 AM PDT When we hear a song that we already know, we can identify it even if it is not an exact version of the original. If it sounds higher or lower, faster or slower, or if the instruments are different from the known version, humans can identify it even if there are these superficial changes to the melody. New research explores the extent to which this skill is based on skills that are also present in other animals, i.e., not unique to humans. |
| Scientists discover mechanism behind chemically induced suppression of fearful memories Posted: 25 Apr 2022 07:43 AM PDT Fearful events negatively impact the brain. For instance, war veterans often go through post-traumatic stress disorder months after the cessation of the triggering event. Now, the precise mechanism of suppression of such fearful memories has been uncovered. Using a mouse model, the researchers identified the associated biochemical pathways, thus paving the way for the development and clinical evaluation of therapeutic compounds such as KNT-127. |
