The new study is the first family study that, according to the researchers, "examines both non-psychotic cannabis users and non-cannabis user controls as two additional independent samples, enabling the examination of whether the risk for schizophrenia is increased in family members of cannabis users who develop schizophrenia compared with cannabis users who do not and also whether that morbid risk is similar or different from that in family members of schizophrenia patients who never used cannabis." This resulted in information on 1,168 first-degree relatives and a total of 4,291 relatives. | However, it only had an association with earlier age of onset and not development of illness per se. The present study, to our knowledge, is the first family study that examines both nonpsychotic cannabis users and non-cannabis user controls as two additional independent samples, enabling the examination of whether the risk for schizophrenia is increased in family members of cannabis users who develop schizophrenia compared with cannabis users who do not and also whether that morbid risk is similar or different from that in family members of schizophrenia patients who never used cannabis. For the purposes of this study, we have not explored any other possible risk factors that could be contributing to modified brain development during adolescence and acknowledge that others may be significant as well. | [5] | Psychology | train | 5 | news | http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/12/10/harvard-marijuana-doesnt-cause-schizophrenia/63148.html |

But we no longer have to fear scarcity of certain foods in the wintertime, which means the system is obsolete. The discovery of a specific neural circuit underlying compulsive sugar consumption could pave the way for the development of targeted drug therapies to effectively treat this widespread problem." | Subsequent recombination permitted opsin and fluorophore expression selectively in LH neurons providing monosynaptic input to the VTA. Light-evoked spike latencies, measured from light-pulse onset to the peak of the action potential, ranged from 3-8 ms ( Figure 1C ). We also found that none of the non-expressing (ChR2-negative) cells recorded showed excitatory responses to photostimulation (n = 14; Figure 1C ), despite their proximity to ChR2-expressing cells. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://www.medicaldaily.com/how-stop-binge-eating-brain-circuit-controls-compulsive-overeating-and-sugar-319972 |

It relates to the way the brain and eyes work together to see an image--when looking at a 2D image, the brain can be tricked because it does not have all the information it needs to make sense of what is there, such as depth, lighting and position. Brain scans showed that people process the illusion in the same way as they would a moving object, and that there was a processing gap of 15 milliseconds by neurons in the area of the brain that is critical for picking up visual motion. | It is therefore expected that the range of reported ages will be larger for older compared to younger respondents. Initial checks of task compliance (see methods for details) revealed that a significant proportion of participants (55%) from India were not able to complete the task. The advantage of this sample is that it is relatively homogenous and also that Americans generally have more negative views toward ageing compared to Indians -especially in relation to socio-emotional processes . | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://ct.moreover.com/?a=39649765711&p=1pl&v=1&x=ggFidRrecBpB_aLp7rO8MQ |

The findings: When a group of strangers is thrown together, individuals who score high on narcissism enjoy an early surge of admiration, recognition and friendship among their peers. But over time, their self-assurance and showmanship cease to build or sustain the growth of friendships. | This group had significantly lower probability of being nominated as a friend than any other group (all ps<.003), across time. No other significant differences were noted. These effects were not significantly different between the two measurement points, as indicated by insignificant three-way interaction of narcissism, EI and time. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://healthmedicinet.com/news/narcissists-may-start-out-popular-but-people-see-through-them-in-the-long-run/ |

Co-parenting still exists in this family dynamics in the technical sense. Don't spew angry harsh words to control your child. | We discuss our results, before noting study limitations and future directions.

Ozone on its own had very little effect on risk for autism, such that in studies that did not take interactions among risk factors into consideration, it may have been ignored. Interactions among the various other factors, even those with large individual effects, appeared to have very little effect on risk. | The paucity of gene-environment interaction measures has a simple origin, it requires detailed genetic and environmental data for the same group of individuals, an expensive and time consuming endeavor. Regions are large, generally encompassing multiple counties, and correspond to the catchment areas of Regional Centers that coordinate services of the California DDS. This sampling strategy ensures that confounding related to regional characteristics is minimized, and simultaneously that the cases and controls are not over-matched with regard to geographically-related exposures. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://www.futurity.org/environment-and-genetics-autism-1470592/ |

Oh, and donat forget to take lots of pics a you never know if youall spot something with IG potential. Jamie Grill Atlas/Stocksy If youare looking for a way to take your mind off being single this holiday season, consider volunteering. | Although the goals of this study focus on whether starting a new volunteering role relates to lower levels of loneliness following widowhood regardless of previous volunteer history, future research might examine transitions into and out of volunteer work, its co-occurrence with caregiving and its effect on loneliness to determine if these effects vary based on history of volunteer engagement. Despite these limitations, the results from this study provide encouraging support for the potential of volunteer engagement as an intervention for alleviating loneliness among widows. In addition, given the numerous benefits associated with engaging in volunteering in general, and with 2 hr or more per week in particular , individuals who start a new volunteer role and continue to remain engaged over an extended period may experience health and well-being benefits that facilitate more successful aging. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://ct.moreover.com/?a=38008140585&p=1pl&v=1&x=qnKpareG_EywYlUgp_w29A |

For example, airport screeners are more likely to encounter pocket knives or incorrectly-packed prescription medications than they are to see a gun in a carry-on bag. So, they might become conditioned to catch the illegal, though relatively harmless, items that appear more frequently than a rarely-seen weapon. | The data were also significantly explained by linear and quadratic functions (Adj. R 2 s = .50 and .66, respectively), but the logarithmic function provided the best fit.

All teams added new referrals to the database, with the exception of team 2 and therefore the 2016 total recorded referral rate continues to be an underestimate.
