The analysis showed that these functional connectivities underlie the relation between depressive problems and sleep quality. The researchers conclude that increased functional connectivity among these brain regions provides a neural basis for how depression is related to poor sleep quality. | Further, a mediation analysis showed that the functional connectivity links between the brain areas identified played a significant role in the association of depressive problems with poor sleep quality. Much smaller associations were found in the reverse direction; that is, the associations of sleep quality with depressive problems mediated by these links were less significant. These findings provides a neural basis for understanding how depression is associated with poor sleep quality, and this in turn has implications for treatment because of the brain areas identified. | [2.0, 2.0, 3.0] | Psychology | train | 2.333333 | news | https://www.futurity.org/depression-sleep-problems-insomnia-1821432-2/ |

The teens' "pseudomature behavior," as the researchers call it, "predicted long-term difficulties in close relationships, as well as significant problems with alcohol and substance use, and elevated levels of criminal behavior," the study said. | Indeed, it is possible that this fading popularity advantage may be what leads these adolescents to pursue more and more extreme behaviors in an effort to attain status with at least a subset of their peers, although this explanation remains for future research to examine. Even almost a decade later, however, social status concerns continued to play a key role in the lives of these individuals as adults, as they found themselves more likely to perceive that their romantic partners were ending relationships with them based upon their own lack of social status.

Thus, future research should test the role of oxytocin in touch-related analgesia. It is important to note that our findings of interpersonal coupling during touch can also be explained by the phenomenon of Huygens synchronization of two connected pendulum clocks 83 . | [2.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0] | Psychology | train | 2 | tweets | 885195841073557504 |

Moreover, when administered by weight control experts, as opposed to graduate student trainees, weight loss was significantly higher in ABT than standard behavioral treatment at 6-month follow-up (11.0% vs. 4.8). This result raises the possibility that those who have more experience in administering behavioral weight control interventions may be more successful at integrating acceptance-based principles into the behavioral program. | [4.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0] | Psychology | train | 2.2 | tweets | 530727599786708992 |

| Based on these and other findings, we suggest that vocal learning and the ability to exercise volitional control over vocalization, particularly in a multimodal context, might have figured relatively early into the evolution of language, with some rudimentary capacity in place at the time of our last common ancestor with great apes. | Famed Gorilla Koko exercises voluntary control over 9 discrete breathing-related behaviors.
| Our analysis shows that Koko exercises voluntary control over the performance of nine distinctive VBBs, which involve variable coordination of her breathing, larynx, and supralaryngeal articulators like the tongue and lips. Based on these and other findings, we suggest that vocal learning and the ability to exercise volitional control over vocalization, particularly in a multimodal context, might have figured relatively early into the evolution of language, with some rudimentary capacity in place at the time of our last common ancestor with great apes. For example, Goodall, generalizing from her observations of free-ranging chimpanzees in the Gombe Reserve, came to the conclusion that ''the production of sound in the absence of the appropriate emotional state seems to be an almost impossible task for a chimpanzee' ' (1986: 125) . | [1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0] | Psychology | train | 2.2 | tweets | 616902993921855488 |
