Oksa Holy Spock! The Star Trek Medical Tricorder Is Real, And It s Only $150
As far as imaginary icons go, the Tooth Fairy runs a distant second to Santa Claus, perhaps even trailing the Easter Bunny. Still, don ;t underestimate the Tooth Fairy real-life powers, which range from sparking youthful creativity to implanting false memories. Back in 2007, researchers published a study in which young children were asked to recount the last time they lost a tooth. Here what they found: To examine how children fantasy beliefs can affect memory for their experiences, 5- and 6-year-olds with differing levels of belief in the reality of the Tooth Fairy were prompted to recall their most recent primary tooth loss in either a truthful or fun manner. Many of the children who fully believed in the existence of the Tooth Fairy reported s stanley cup upernatural experiences consistent with the myth under both sets of recall instructions, whereas those who realized the fictionality stanley mugs of the myth recalled mainly realistic experiences. So then, if you thought the Tooth Fairy was real, then the researchers found that that belief could engender false memories, as they noted in the title of their paper. They conclude their abstract with this grim pronouncement: These findings suggest that children beliefs in the reality of fantastic phenomena can give rise to genuine constructive memory errors in line with their fantasies. In o stanley cup ther words, there nothing wrong with believing in the Tooth Fairy 8230;a Axfc The Mars Curiosity Delay Will Drive Everyone Crazier Than NBC s Olympic Coverage

It not a reason not to sire a kid later in life鈥攁 guy in his 40s has a 2 percent chance of having a kid with one of these disorders. But the study does point out that the rece stanley spain nt autism boom has something to do with the rising average age of fathers. Sorry old man dads, you could account for as much as 30 percent of cases. There was no such correlation for older mothers, though there are a whole slew of risks to carrying a child at a more advanced age. The study does, however, debunk the myth that most of the responsibility for passing on developmental problems lies in the genes of an old mom. While these mamas still have a higher risk for having a baby with Downs Syndrome, the psychological and developmental issues come from daddy. In short, having a kid in your 40s might not mean being the oldest dad at graduation, but it does open your offspring up to a host of potential developmental issues.

Exmx Gorilla Glass 3 Hands On: Somehow Even More Indestructible (Exclusive)
The single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii lives infects rats, but it needs to be inside a cat digestive system in order to reproduce. The parasite actually alters the brain of its rat host so that it won ;t be afraid of cats. Specifically, Stanford researchers discovered that Toxoplasma affects the rat brain so that the fear centers of the brain no longer respond to cat odors. Even more crazily, it appears that Toxoplasma makes the rat brain think it sexually attracted to the cat odor. Those factors are likely more than enough to get rats hanging around dangerously close to cats, and thus gives the parasite a chance to complete its re stanley cup becher productive cycle. The parasites appear to be very precise in their alterations the rats still function normally in all areas not directly related to the fear of cats. Researcher Patrick House explains: These findings support the idea that in the rat, Toxoplas stanley thermos ma is shifting the emotional salience of the detection of the cat. They also suggest that fear and attraction might lie on the same spectrum, or at least that the emotional processing of fear and attraction are not entirely unrelated.

A person with synesthesia might perceive a certain color, for example, when reading specific numbers or letters.
