Babies can sense pain before they can understand it
Manage episode 489900284 series 2704238
That’s according to neuroscientists at UCL, UCLH and King's College London, who investigated how different types of pain processing develop very early on, by scanning the brains of premature babies two weeks after birth.
Tech & Science Daily spoke to the lead author of the breakthrough study, Lorenzo Fabrizi, professor in developmental system neuroscience at UCL.
We were told their research can help support vulnerable babies with paediatric care, tailored pain management, and contribute to the planning of medical interventions.
US President Donald Trump has extended the impending US TikTok ban for a third time.
The new deadline is September 17th, pushing the decision back another 90 days.
Plus, in a world-first discovery, researchers say that Australia’s nocturnal Bogong Moth - whose population is in decline - uses constellations of stars and the Milky Way to navigate hundreds of kilometres across the country during its annual migration.
Also in this episode:
-Be careful with heading your football; it can subtly alter the brain, regardless of whether there is a concussion or not.
-The UK's amber heat health warning, as London experiences its first "tropical night" forecast of the year.
-ESA's driverless spacecraft creates 'fake' solar eclipse in space.
-Ozzy Osbourne's iced tea cans, which include his DNA, for a price of £365 a piece.
