Psychische Belastungen sind unter jungen Erwachsenen in Deutschland weit verbreitet. Doch die Inanspruchnahme professioneller Hilfe ist gering.
Der aktuelle Beitrag des #JHealthMonit will die spezifischen Barrieren identifizieren und prüfen, welche Faktoren dazu führen.

New paper challenging the didactic role of Infant-Directed Speech (IDS)
We hypothesised that parents use IDS as a didactic tool by acoustically emphasising unknown words.
Analysing 38k speech segments (182 parents of 8-18m olds)
=> NO evidence for a didactic strategy!

A study in Nature Neuroscience shows that the moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide event with altered brain activity, pupil size and brain fluid movement. #neuroskyence 🧪
Attentional failures after sleep deprivation are locked to joint neurovascular, pupil and cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics - Nature Neuroscience
Yang et al. show that moments of failed attention we experience after sleep deprivation reflect brief ‘sleep-like’ episodes in the brain, corresponding to a brain- and body-wide event with altered brain activity, pupil size and brain fluid movement.

Astrocytes get less attention than their neuronal neighbors, partly because they’re harder to study. But the glial cells could help explain how memories take a more stable form after recall.
