Women more likely than men to have ongoing memory problems after concussion

ew study led by researchers from Taiwan finds the effects of concussion may differ between men and women, with women experiencing more persistent working memory impairment.

As shown in these brain scans, women showed less working memory activity than men more than 2 months after concussion.

Concussion, also referred to as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), is defined as a temporary loss of normal brain function as a result of a head injury. Symptoms can include headache, sleep impairment, fatigue, poor coordination, loss of memory, poor concentration and changes in mood.

While the majority of people fully recover from concussion within 3 months, around 10-15% continue to experience complications.

Increasingly, studies have investigated the long-term effects of concussion and have produced some worrying results. In February 2013, for example, a study found concussion can cause abnormal brain wave activity and poor memory decades after injury, while another study identified damage to the brain's gray matter in patients with concussion 4 months after injury.

What is more, studies of amateur and professional athletes - who are most prone to concussion due to their involvement in contact sports - have indicated that concussion is more common among female athletes than male athletes.

According to lead author of this latest study, Dr. Chi-Jen Chen, of the Taipei Medical University Shuang-Ho Hospital and the Chia-Yi Hospital - both in Taiwan - women are also more likely to seek medical attention for persistent symptoms after concussion.

"We started to wonder whether there might be differences in MTBI outcomes between men and women," says Dr. Chen.
Persistent reduction in working memory activity among women with concussion

For their study, recently published in the journal Radiology, the team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to analyze the brain activity of 15 men and 15 women with concussion as they performed working memory tasks, as well as the brain activity of 15 male and 15 female controls.

Dr. Chen says the team focused on working memory - the brain system responsible for processing and storing short-term information - because working memory impairment is a common complaint after concussion.

"Since working memory is important for a wide variety of cognitive skills, compromised working memory could have significant effects on everyday life," adds Dr. Chen.

All participants underwent fMRI 1 month after injury, and follow-up fMRI scans were conducted 6 weeks later. The working memory tasks included a digit span test, which assesses the ability to remember a sequence of numbers, and a continuous performance test (CPT), which measures an individual's sustained and selective attention.

From the first set of fMRI scans, the researchers found that - compared with the control participants - men showed an increase in working memory activity, while women demonstrated a reduction in working memory activity.

At follow-up fMRI scans, the working memory activity of men was on par with that of the control participants. Women, however, demonstrated an ongoing reduction in working memory activity, known as "persistent hypoactivation," indicative of continuous working memory impairment.

What is more, women with concussion were found to have lower scores on the digit span tests than women in the control group.

Commenting on the findings, Dr. Chen says:


"These findings provide evidence that female gender may be a risk factor for working memory impairment after MTBI, If so, more aggressive management should be initiated once MTBI is diagnosed in female patients."

Dr. Chen adds that since fMRI has the ability to monitor working memory activity in the brain, it could be added to treatment strategies for women with concussion, though he stresses further research is needed to confirm the team's findings.

MY SON COULD READ BEFORE HE WAS EVEN POTTY TRAINED


MY SON COULD READ BEFORE HE WAS EVEN POTTY TRAINED
Jason Carmight | October 23, 2014 | Health | 21 Comments









I know all parents think that. But with my first born Joseph, I really did give him an advantage in life and it wasn’t because I was some super-mom with a secret.



I taught my Son to read before he reached 3 years old (2 years and 7 months to be exact).

I remember all my family was gathered around Joseph, my nearly three year old son.

They were looking at him as if they were expecting him to turn into a pumpkin or something. I should have been nervous. But I wasn’t. Because I knew my son would offer them what they wanted: the chance to see a three year old reading. And he did.

In those moments I felt so proud.

I had given my son the chance to have the brightest future.

You may of heard about the Matthew’s effect in reading. It is a theory that children who achieve literacy early in life develop unique mental abilities that will help them later in life. I’ve seen this theory working with my best friend, Sam.

I’ve known Sam all my life.

Our parents were friends and we grew up together.Unlike me, he was only allowed to go out and play as long as he did his homework daily. But we weren’t even in school! I didn’t understand it at the time. You see, Sam’s father would teach Sam things we were supposed to learn later in school.

Things like reading.

We were 5 years old at the time and Sam already knew how to read. He would read stories to me and I was fascinated. As the years passed, I was witness to Sam’s success:
he got into an Ivy League college
he graduated Magna Cum Laude
he became the youngest professor at his university in a decade.

Though he was my best friend, I was a bit envious of Sam. He knew so much and was considered a genius. He went to dinner with some of the world’s greatest minds. And me? I managed to get a decent job as a secretary.

So when my son was born I promised myself that he would have the life I’ve always dreamed about.

I figured I had three choices. I could try the classical method that could provide me with some results, but it took very long and required tremendous efforts from my Son and I. I could wait for him to learn how to read in school which would require no effort from my side, but there was the big risk of him struggling later in life.

Or I could try a method I’d read about online called Children Learning Reading by Jim and Elena Yang, which was a little odd but, if it worked, I would ensure my kid his success in life and would require a minimum effort from both of us. I decided to give it a try.

I was very interested to learn:
The only effective way of teaching children how to read (we’ve been thinking about it all wrong)
How to teach your child how to read before they turn 3 (in less than 15 minutes per day!)
The 3 mistakes that can make your child associate pain with learning to read (do. not. make. this. mistake!)
The 1 thing that makes your child beg you every day to learn to read (this is a big help)

If you watch the video you’ll see Jim Yang’s gorgeous little girl and his incredible son both reading, on video, before age 3. You’ll also see Raine reading books fluently at 4 years old. It’s incredible to witness.

Revel in these picturesque villages of Britain





Revel in these picturesque villages of Britain


Britain is known more for its picturesque countryside locations. The authentic British lifestyle still thrives in numerous villages doted across the country. They may be small, but these villages make up for that with their astounding beauty and equally wonderful locals who would be more than willing to welcome you with their generous hospitality and trademark British food. If you are on the lookout for such a place, then here are 7 of the most beautiful villages you cannot absolutely miss on out on while visiting Britain.

Clovelly in Devon






You will be astonished as to how laidback this beautiful village is in terms of civilization. Situated on a steep hill, the village is filled with charming whitewashed cottages complete with vibrant geraniums and fuchsias, lining the narrow cobblestoned streets that lead down to an ancient harbor. The streets are pretty steep. So cars are banned. The best mode of transportation would be on foot or carriages.

Hobham in Surrey






Hobham National Nature Reserve and consists of miles of beautiful green lowlands which provide the perfect setting for a picture perfect historic village. The village is located close to the Woking Station and is close to London Waterloo. Step into Hobham and you will be transported a few centuries back instantly.

Abbotsbury in Dorset






Considered as one of the most naturally beautiful villages in all of Britain, Abbotsbury in Dorset contains an amazing flora and fauna mix that would spellbind you for sure. Quaint stone cottages and thatched roofs complete the age old look of this historic town that is also home to plenty of natural wonders like the Fleet, a lagoon that stretches for over 8 miles and is home to several rare seabirds, and the Subtropical Gardens, a 20 acre garden which is home to exotic plants . However, the highlight of visiting Abbotsbury is the chance to walk among thousands of nesting, breeding and hatching swans. So don’t miss this one for sure.

Lalock in Wiltshire






You may have probably seen quite a few views of this village in a very popular movie. Considered as a very popular filming location thanks to its stunning natural green visuals, and has been featured in more than one of the Harry Potter Movies. The entire village has been preserved by the National Trust in order to maintain its natural beauty and character.

Castle Combe in Wiltshire






While visiting Wiltshire, make it a point to visit another one of Britain’s most beautiful villages, Castle Combe. Surrounded by dense woodlands in the Cotswolds valley, Castle Combe is as authentic as they can get. It dates back several hundred years and offers you the chance to enjoy some peace and quiet with your loved ones, devoid of any interruptions from the modern world. Don’t miss the 15th century clock tower that used to ring for hours on end.

Clare in Suffolk






Clare in Suffolk is the perfect excuse for you to let go of all the pleasures of the modern world and travel back in time to live life the way the British used to in those day. You will be overwhelmed by the number of sights that impress you here, from the motte of a medieval castle and the stunning Augustinian abbey to the historic ‘Ancient House’ museum in Church Street. Although a bit crowded during the tourist season, the village never fails to surprise you with the way it remains disconnected with these monetary benefits of the tourist trade.

Bourton –on-the-Water in Gloucestershire






The entire village of Bourton-on-the-Water as the name implies, seems to be standing on water, courtesy the shallow Windrush River that runs through the entire village. The entire setting resembles a picture you would find in a postcard, complete with small arched footbridges for crossing and quaint little yellow sandstone houses that stand above the water, adding more vibrancy to the surroundings.
