Children in Head Start who miss more preschool show fewer academic gains
A new study has found that children in Head Start who miss 10 percent or more of the school year have fewer gains in academics than their peers who attend preschool more regularly. Many researchers see high-quality preschool programs as a way to reduce long-term disparities in education. Placing an emphasis on attendance in preschool programs may be important to maximizing benefits. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Three-year-olds understand, value obligations of joint commitment
The ability to engage in joint actions is a critical step toward becoming a cooperative human being. In particular, forming a commitment with a partner to achieve a goal that one cannot achieve alone is important for functioning in society. Previous research has shown that children begin collaborating with others between ages 2 and 3 years. However, it ' s less clear whether they understand the concept of joint commitments with binding obligations. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

T-cell signaling process central to immune response
The immune system cells known as T cells play a central role in the body ' s ability to fight infections and cancer. For decades, however, details of the molecular signaling process that leads to T cell activation have remained a mystery. Now scientists have obtained the first glimpse of the process by which recognition of an antigen (such as a viral protein) by the T cell receptor triggers the first steps leading to an immune response.

Making brain implants smaller could prolong their lifespan
Many diseases, including Parkinson ' s disease, can be successfully treated with electrical stimulation from an electrode implanted in the brain. However, the electrodes can produce scarring, which diminishes their effectiveness. Researchers have now demonstrated that making these electrodes much smaller can essentially eliminate this scarring. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)
