HOUSTON, Oct. 29 -- For infants weighing 1,000 g or less, aggressive phototherapy was no better at reducing death rates or neurodevelopmental impairment than conservative treatment, a randomized trial found.
Aggressive treatment was effective in reducing neurodevelopmental impairment alone, but a subgroup analysis suggested that this benefit may have been offset by a tendency toward an increase in mortality among infants weighing only 501 g to 750 g at birth, said Jon E. Tyson, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Texas, and colleagues 
Maintaining a Healthy Balance in the Brain

Imagine the chaos if all traffic lights suddenly went red in a city. The same can apply to the brain, which needs a regulated flow of information to learn and make memories. New research published in the 31 October issue of Cell unveils how a neural stop signal goes askew in neurofibromatosis, one of the most common genetic causes of learning disabilities in humans.
Neurofibromatosis typically produces fibrous lumps in nerve fibers, some of them visible on the skin
Madness: Price of a Big Brain?

A new study suggests that the debilitating disease schizophrenia may be a byproduct of the genetic changes that fueled the evolution of the expansive human brain. The idea, still preliminary, is that the massive energy demands of the brain may make it vulnerable to mutations in metabolism-related genes.

The American Physical Therapy Association is urging parents and caregivers to ensure that babies get enough "tummy time" throughout the day while they are awake and supervised, in light of a recent survey of therapists who say they've noticed an increase in motor delays in infants who spend too much time on their backs while awake.

There's no real difference between the scores of U.S. boys and girls on common math tests, according to a massive new study. Educators hope the finding will finally dispel lingering perceptions that girls don't measure up to boys when it comes to crunching numbers.
"This shows there's no issue of intellectual ability--and that's a message we still need to get out to some of our parents and teachers," says Henry "Hank" Kepner, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in Reston, Virginia.
It won't be a new message

Fetal scalp sampling in labor--better for diagnosing hypoxia?

Is scalp pH analysis more effective at diagnosing hypoxia in the fetus during labor than scalp lactate analysis? According to this randomised controlled multicenter trial of the two methods, acidemia at birth, operative interventions, low Apgar scores at five minutes, and admissions to neonatal intensive care units did not differ significantly. James P Neilson, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology, asks in an accompanying editorial if less invasive alternatives exist.
Rebellious Teen? A Brain Area May Hold the Key

Child development experts are scrutinizing a new study that suggests the size of small, almond-shaped structures in the center of the brain known as the amygdalae may hold the key to how aggressive teens behave toward their parents. But researchers at the University of Melbourne's Orygen Research Center in Australia report that these areas of the brain may have a special link when it comes to teens who regularly fight with their parents.

Mothers who stop smoking while pregnant tend to have cheerier, more adaptable babies, British researchers reported on Wednesday. Babies of women who continued to smoke while pregnant were notably grumpy, and the researchers believe that mothers who can muster the effort to kick the habit are also caring more for their babies in other ways.
