Archaeologists reconstruct life in the Bronze Age through the site of La Motilla
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!The researchers have excavated for the first time in a scientific and systematic way a site of these characteristics, where they have found the first water well of the Iberian Peninsula. From the 20th century, the "motillas" were erroneously considered to be burial mounds, a theory which was refuted by the experts of the UGR, who proved that it was a fortification surrounded by a small settlement and a necrópolis.

Researchers from the University of Granada, Spain, excavated for the first time -- in a scientific and systematic way -- a site of these characteristics, where they found the first water well of the Iberian Peninsula.

- Age is more than a number -- In barn owls, it reveals how susceptible one is to climate change
01-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Fluctuations in weather and the environment affect survival and reproduction of animals. But are all individuals within a population equally susceptible? Theory on the evolution in age-structured populations suggests not -- those life stages that are more important for overall fitness should be less susceptible to environmental variation than other life stages.

It may not seem so at the time, but women who suffer through morning sickness during their pregnancies actually may be fortunate. Those women may have a 30 percent lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life than mothers-to-be who experience nine nausea-free months, a new study by epidemiologists at the University at Buffalo suggests.

- Using fMRI to study brain development
11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using fMRI to study early brain development requires learning more about the fMRI signal in the developing brain. MIT neuroscientists studying rats found the signal changes during first few weeks of life in relation to actual brain activity. Correcting for those changes, the researchers could monitor the development of the rat brain. The findings also identified a key player in the age-related changes in neurovascular coupling that gives rise to the BOLD signal.

- Close ties between parents and babies yield benefits for preschoolers
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
Close, mutually responsive relationships between parents and babies have been linked to more self-regulated behavior when children reach preschool age. Researchers observed 102 families over the first two years of their child's life to gauge if the parents and children had such responsive relationships. Children were then observed after age 4 to determine their response to mothers' requests not to do something and their ability to self-regulate -- measured by deliberation, restraint and maturity of impulses.
