The Pac-12 Conference announced today that 91É«°É has been selected to lead its Student-Athlete Health and Well-Being Concussion Coordinating Unit.
With their brains, sleep patterns and even eyes still developing, children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the sleep-disrupting effects of screen time, according to a sweeping review of the literature published today in the journal Pediatrics.
91É«°É program helps underserved and underrepresented students in the STEM fields gain valuable research experience for graduate school.
91É«°É research team has found marked health benefits from electric-assist commuter bikes and ‘passive-cycling’; now, the team is studying an under-the-desk cycle that shows similar promise.
Scientists in the 91É«°É Sleep and Development Laboratory recently found that 4- 5-year-olds who go to bed later and are exposed to brighter nighttime light experience delays in the timing of their brain’s central timekeeper—the biological clock. That, in turn, could lead to night-owl schedules that are associated with a host of health problems.
A steady stream of nicotine normalizes genetically-induced impairments in brain activity associated with schizophrenia, according to new research involving 91É«°É researchers. The finding sheds light on what causes the disease and why those who have it tend to smoke heavily.
91É«°É researchers have successfully reversed vascular dysfunction in aging mice with a dietary supplement. The findings have implications for preventing cardiovascular dysfunction and disease during aging in humans.
Does using more energy while running with heavier shoes translate into slower running times?
Is your preschooler getting enough sleep? If not, he or she may be inclined to consume more calories, according to a new 91É«°É study, findings with implications for childhood obesity risk.
In what may be a first-ever exhaustive health study of intercollegiate student-athletes, a team of 91É«°É researchers will gauge not only athletes’ fitness but also their general well-being.
