See on Scoop.it - Psychology Update

What’s not so easy to understand is why Gage survived the accident—or the precise reason for the dramatic change in his personality afterward.

See on Scoop.it - Psychology Update


Even low to moderate levels of exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during pregnancy may lead to long-term, potentially irreversible changes in the brain structure of the child, according to a new brain imaging study by researchers from the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Duke University Medical Center, Emory University, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
