Scientists scanned the brains of 24 babies aged six to nine months as they were shown puppet displays. The infants looked longer at unexpected outcomes - if there were too many puppets - and their brain activity was like that seen in adults after errors. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5253040.stm Gene tests shed light on what triggers birth Sets of genes responsible for triggering birth have been identified and may provide an insight into why some women go into labour prematurely. The discovery could also enable the development of genetic tests to assess the likelihood of premature delivery and lead to better drugs to prevent it. http://www.newscientist.com/ :ADVERT:_________________________________________________ Think you may have postnatal depression or illness?
