Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 16th 2019
This study shows that CA are released from periventricular and subpial regions to the cerebrospinal fluid and are present in the cervical lymph nodes, into which cerebrospinal fluid drains through the meningeal lymphatic system. We also show that CA can be phagocytosed by macrophages. We conclude that CA can act as containers that remove waste products from the brain and may be involved in a mechanism that cleans the brain. Moreover, we postulate that CA may contribute in some autoimmune brain diseases, exporting brain substances that interact with the immune system, and hypothesize that CA may contain brain markers that m...

Patients with severe autism: medical and dental care in the community
The pediatrician kept on telling me that everything was fine. What could possibly be wrong? His motor skills were right on time, if not a little early. He even had emerging problem-solving skills. He did things like push a chair up to a shelf to climb up and get what he wanted. Three decades later, […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Change Vs. Accept? Read My Latest For Psychology Today
How much should we autism parents struggle to “change” our children’s behavior, to channel it to more “normal” pursuits? Are we stifling the real person by doing so? You can read the piece here. (Source: Susan's Blog)

Calorie Restriction as a Way to Slow Harmful Age-Related Changes in the Gut Microbiome
In this study, we investigated the effect of long-term 30% CR compared with ad libitum (AL) feeding on the microbiome in aging. We studied the Tg2576 model, where a mutant variant of the human APP is expressed in transgenic mice. This transgene results in cerebral amyloid accumulation, synaptic loss, and cognitive impairment by 12 months of age. We found that female Tg2576 mice have more substantial age-related microbiome changes compared to wildtype (WT) mice, including an increase in Bacteroides, which were normalized by CR. Specific gut microbiota changes were linked to Aβ levels, with greater effects in females than i...

Psychology Around the Net: December 7, 2019
This week’s Psychology Around the Net takes a look at what to do if you think your child is at risk for mental illness, why self-regulation is so important for people with ADHD, the symptoms of problematic smartphone use, and the mental and physical fatigue that often accompanies chronic illness, and more.

Vocational Skills for Students With Communication Disorders
We constantly communicate while we’re at work. We greet co-workers on the way into work. We chat at lunch with people about our favorite shows and weekend plans. Communication in the workplace, no matter how short or how long, is an essential part of how we’re perceived and how we participate as a professional team member. It’s an example of a “soft skill” that contributes to job success.
These vocational soft skills can present challenges for older students with communication disorders who are seeking meaningful and competitive employment.

Jack ’ s hippocampus is bigger than yours
My dog Jack, thinking, has a proportionally larger hippocampus than you do. If I had a pet bunny, its hippocampus would be (proportionally) larger, still!! You’ve probably heard a lot about the crucial role that the hippocampus plays in recording our “episodic” (historic, serial, ‘long-term’) memories. Does this mean that we should revise that age old saying to “Molly has a memory like a… rabbit!” Or what?! Or put another way, what can a rabbit or dog DO, that is decisively superior to YOU?
It turns out that dogs and especially rabbits have an exquisite ability to reconstruct...

Even Bret Stephens has had enough
Foreword:It is a fact that Donald J. Trump is a criminal, a racist, a malignant narcissist, a pathological liar, delusional, authoritarian, a sadistic psychopath, and an existential threat to democracy and for that matter to human civilization. There is no possibility of intellectually respectable dispute about any of that. Therefore we do not allow any such discussion here just as we do not allow argumentation about the shape of the earth, whether vaccines cause autism, or whether human-caused carbon emissions are causing the climate to change. This space is reality-based. And if you don ' t believe all that about the Res...

Using Fidget Spinners May Actually Impede Learning
By Emily Reynolds
Though fidget spinners have been around since the early 1990s, it was 2017 when they really started to make a stir, becoming a seemingly overnight sensation and starting to appear in offices, classrooms, public transport and pretty much anywhere else they were permitted. The actual provenance of the design has been debated, but many companies market the toys as a tool for concentration, particularly for those who have anxiety, ADHD or autism.
Calming — and fun — they may be, but do they actually work when it comes to keeping attention? Julia S. Soares & Benjamin C. Storm from the University of Ca...

Overheard at Convention: See Parents ’ Stress, Avoid Joint Tenancy, Embrace Chatbots
So many sessions at the ASHA Convention—2,500 at least. And all of them occurring over only three days. All you can do is get to as many of them as you can, absorbing the knowledge and new learning like it’s an all-nighter study session back in college.
Along the way, there are those nuggets you hear. Those things presenters and people in the audience say that all-of-a-sudden shift your thinking, make you want to tweak your practice, start a new program, or open a whole different research inquiry. Here’s a sampling of some of those brain bites heard by this reporter.
