This Is Your Brain Without Dad

This Is Your Brain Without Dad

Conventional wisdom holds that two parents are better than one. Scientists are now finding that growing up without a father actually changes the way your brain develops.



German biologist Anna Katharina Braun and others are conducting research on animals that are typically raised by two parents, in the hopes of better understanding the impact on humans of being raised by a single parent. Dr. Braun's work focuses on degus, small rodents related to guinea pigs and chinchillas, because mother and father degus naturally raise their babies together.



When deprived of their father, the degu pups exhibit both short- and long-term changes in nerve-cell growth in different regions of the brain. Dr. Braun, director of the Institute of Biology at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, and her colleagues are also looking at how these physical changes affect offspring behavior.



Their preliminary analysis indicates that fatherless degu pups exhibit more aggressive and impulsive behavior than pups raised by two parents.

In a study the researchers presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago earlier this month and recently published in the journal Neuroscience, half the degus were raised with two parents, while the others were raised by a single mother, the father having been removed from the cage one day after the birth of his offspring.



Dr. Braun and her colleagues found that in the two-parent families, the degu mothers and fathers cared for their pups in similar ways, including sleeping next to or crouching over them, licking and grooming them, and playing with them. The fathers even exhibited a "nursing-type" position.

When the mother was a single parent, the frequency of her interactions with her pups didn't change much, which means that those pups experienced significantly less touching and interaction than those with two parents.



The researchers then looked at the neurons—cells that send and receive messages between the brain and the body—of some pups at day 21, around the time they were weaned from their mothers, and others at day 90, which is considered adulthood for the species.



Neurons have branches, known as dendrites, that conduct electrical signals received from other nerve cells to the body, or trunk, of the neuron. The leaves of the dendrites are protrusions called dendritic spines that receive messages and serve as the contact between neurons.



Dr. Braun's group found that at 21 days, the fatherless animals had less dense dendritic spines compared to animals raised by both parents, though they "caught up" by day 90. However, the length of some types of dendrites was significantly shorter in some parts of the brain, even in adulthood, in fatherless animals.



"It just shows that parents are leaving footprints on the brain of their kids," says Dr. Braun, 54 years old.

The neuronal differences were observed in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is related to emotional responses and fear, and the orbitofrontal cortex, or OFC, the brain's decision-making center.



'A Horse Without a Rider'

The balance between these two brain parts is critical to normal emotional and cognitive functioning, according to Dr. Braun. If the OFC isn't active, the amygdala "goes crazy, like a horse without a rider," she says. In the case of the fatherless pups, there were fewer dendritic spines in the OFC, while the dendrite trees in the amygdala grew more and longer branches.



A preliminary analysis of the degus' behavior showed that fatherless animals seemed to have a lack of impulse control, Dr. Braun says. And, when they played with siblings, they engaged in more play-fighting or aggressive behavior.



In a separate study in Dr. Braun's lab conducted by post-doctoral researcher Joerg Bock, degu pups were removed from their caregivers for one hour a day. Just this small amount of stress leads the pups to exhibit more hyperactive behaviors and less focused attention, compared to those who aren't separated, Dr. Braun says. They also exhibit changes in their brain.



The basic wiring between the brain regions in the degus is the same as in humans, and the nerve cells are identical in their function. "So on that level we can assume that what happens in the animal's brain when it's raised in an impoverished environment ... should be very similar to what happens in our children's brain," Dr. Braun says.



Other researchers, such as Xia Zhang, a senior scientist at the University of Ottawa Institute of Mental Health Research, and his colleagues in China, have observed different consequences using voles, mouselike rodents that also naturally co-parent. (Fewer than 10% of species raise their offspring with two parents.)



Voles deprived of their fathers—either from birth or later on in childhood—exhibited more anxious behaviors and were less social, spending less time engaging with stranger voles that were placed in their cage, according to a study by Dr. Zhang and his colleagues that was published in July in the journal Behavioral Processes.



Of course, the frontal cortex—where thinking and decision-making take place—is more complex in humans than it is in other animals. Thus, says Dr. Braun, it is important to be "really careful" about extrapolating the recent findings to human populations.



"The minute you get into stuff with extensive social and environmental components, the social differences between humans and animals are massive," says Simon Chapple, a senior economist in the social policy division of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the 30-country grouping of the world's largest economies.



It remains an "open verdict" whether single parenthood causes these bad outcomes, or is merely associated with them, says Dr. Chapple.



Risk of Delinquency

Still, the prevalence of single-parent households has researchers looking at possible consequences for children. An OECD report found that just 57% of children in the U.S. live with both parents, among the lowest percentages of the world's richest nations.



The report, which sparked some controversy when it was released in September, found that children in single-parent households have an increased risk of delinquency and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, as well as poorer scholastic performance.



The OECD also analyzed data from 122 separate studies and found that there was variability in the negative effects on children of living in a single-parent home; on average, the OECD found, the magnitude of the impact was relatively small. On a standardized intelligence test with a median score of 100 points, for example, a child in a single-parent family would be about 3.5 points worse off than a similar child in a two-parent family, according to Dr. Chapple, who co-wrote the report.



Dr. Braun's goal for future research is to figure out whether degu pups' brains can be rewired by introducing a substitute caregiver, such as a grandmother, or whether other social and emotional enrichment can help "repair" the fatherless pups, she says. Human children may be sent to day care, for instance, which can help them form stable friendships with their peers and other adults.



The bottom line, says Dr. Braun, is that parents need to fuel their children's brains with talk, touch and sensitive stimulation that involves give and take.



Parents, she says, "are the sculptors of their children's brains."

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters...... S.T.R.

My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..

Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

Wise words from a wise father

Dear New Zealand Fathers Rights Movement



The situation in New Zealand is this:



§ 96% of the applicants to the Family court are female.



§ Police Cadets are taught in training that 97% of DV is perpetrated by males.



§ 400,000 + school children out of approximately 1 million children are separated in some way from their father.



§ Women do not go to anger management courses.



§ The Family Courts have a guilty until proven innocent policy for males.



§ The Family Courts are still secret.



§ The scale of the problem which includes huge intergenerational damage for children is immense.



§ Indeed if this were happening in fascist Germany it would be called a holocaust, with children as the collateral damage.

Boy hating mothers who want only baby girls

Sick article: Boy hating mothers who want only baby girls
Read it all here: http://www.elle.com/Life-Love/Society-Career-Power/Girl-Crazy-Women-Who-Suffer-from-Gender-Disappointment

I will only say this: when they abort baby girls in China for economic reasons, everyone thinks it's absolutely horrible. When they abort baby boys here in America because mother wants a female companion, it's completely understandable and acceptable. A lengthy article, but here's an excerpt:

What’s behind the modern-day girl fetish? One explanation: Women envision a brighter future for their daughters than they do for their sons. Boys are practically the underdogs these days, having fallen behind girls on nearly every measure of academic achievement, from college attendance to high school graduation rates. According to books such as The War Against Boys and Boys Adrift, they are in danger of becoming, as Christina Hoff Sommers has written, “tomorrow’s second sex.”

“The way society is now—I feel there’s a preference for girls,” says Linda Heithaus, a marine biologist from Hollywood, Florida, who has two sons and is contemplating doing IVF/PGD in the hope of getting a girl. “They can do everything a boy can do, plus you can dress them up. It’s almost like, to fit in, you need to have one.” Girls, in other words, are boys plus. They can play sports and have careers, and you can dress them in pink and take them to tea at the American Girl café. What’s not to like?

Lithuanian Dad Kills Judge For Molesting His 3 Yr Old Judge Dreadful Killer A World Hero

A true VINDICATOR we can all be very pleased with. Kudos to Poland for offering him safe-haven too!:)

Lithuanian Dad Kills Judge For Molesting His 3 Yr Old Judge Dreadful Killer A World Hero
Austria Times
10-18-9


A dad who shot dead a judge and a senior politician because they molested his three-year old daughter has become a national hero after going on the run in Lithuania.
Horrified Drasius Keyds, 37, gunned down the perverted pair on Monday after police turned a deaf ear to his pleas for justice for his tortured tot.
Now in hiding, Keyds has become a hero on YouTube and Facebook with hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world pledging support.
"You are a hero to all of us," reads one Facebook message. "What you did is nothing but justice."
Mugs and t-shirts with his image on them have begun appearing alongside the logo "Drasius: Lone-avenger".
Keyds' nightmare began a year ago when daughter Deimantela told him about a meeting set up by his then fiancee with judge Jonas Furmanavicziusa and the Speaker of Lithuania's parliament , Andrius Us. [Based on the way these names have been misspelled, I'd say both men are Jews and the misspellings were intentionally made to make it difficult to prove their ethnicity via a google search - "Andrius is no doubt Andreas, and the proper spelling for the other judge is "Furmanavicius" [26,000 google hits], not Furmanavicziusa [Two google hits]. Jews do this ALL THE TIME, in fact, you should automatically assume that any Jew accused of anything, will have an intentionally misspelled first name, surname, or both.]
The pair allegedly raped and abused the youngster who reported her ordeal to her father.
But a year long campaign for a police investigation failed when detectives told Keyds there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case.
Now the fugitive dad is being offered a safe haven in neighbouring countries like Poland.
Parliamentary deputy speaker Stefan Niesioowski said: "This is a clear case of incompetent law enforcement on the original crime."

Why socialism sucks

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich--a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around,the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little.. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, and name calling all resulted in hard feelings, and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed. To their great surprise, the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

* LIFE IN THE 1500'S *

* LIFE IN THE 1500'S *

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the1500s:


Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying. It's raining cats and dogs.

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a thresh hold.

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a ...dead ringer.

And that's the truth... Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

Dad demands rights for fathers

http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/2928263/Dad-demands-rights-for-fathers/

By ANTONIO BRADLEY - The Manawatu Standard
Last updated 12:00 03/10/2009


Fathers' rights were shouted to the streets of Palmerston North yesterday.

Five placard-waving people protested against the Family Court's systems outside the Palmerston North court house.

Protester and anti-Family Court activist Benjamin Easton said he wanted better representation for non-custodial fathers, whom he claimed were treated unfairly by the court system.

People passing the protest stopped and talked. Some signed the placards in support with messages such as "it's not fair" and "good luck".

Others called the megaphone slogans noise pollution.

As part of their protest, four other protesters went into the court house and sat on the floor.

Staff told them they could not protest inside the court or outside the main entrance's steps. The protesters complied with their request to move.

Mr Easton said non-custodial fathers loved their children, but court-ordered separations could smash fathers' lives in an instant.

"Bang! Bye bye son. Bang! Bye bye daughter," he shouted through a megaphone.

Mr Easton had an unhappy experience with the Family Court in 2000.

Two of Mr Easton's fellow protesters said separation from their children led some men to depression, alcoholism and even suicide.

"It just haunts you," one supporter said.

"You can't escape it."

Palmerston North Courthouse manager Marcus Vettise said he was advised of Mr Easton's "Paint the Complaint" protest in advance.

"We take a neutral stance ... people have a right to freedom of expression."

I am a proud father of four.

When somebody asks me what are my greatest assets in life I happily respond my four children.

My handsome twin sons just celebrated a quarter of a century on the planet and my two beautiful daughters are battling the all so confusing teenage years where hormones go crazy.

I get sad when I think of the battle caused by a bent system allowing a bent family to engineer a major depressive episode for me. It was built on false allegations. The lies that blew my family apart were too much for my much loved mother. Dad4justice will get justice mum.

My children are my sacred primal priority and no matter what the Department of Injustice have written on my record at least my family knows the truth about their dad.

Shame on you police, family court and cyfs.

Shame on you judges, lawyers, psychologists and psychiatrics.

Shame on you politicians, how can you allow such a cruel travesty of justice to go unchecked?

How many millions of taxpayers’ dollars did the sick system spend trying to crucify me?

I am guilty of being a loving over protective father of four.

Love will conquer all in the end.

"We backed the wrong horse Burnsey.We were wrong about you. Put that on your blog" states a police officer recently this year!

Knowing the truth about yourself makes for a sound sleep at night.

I thank God.

I am a proud father of four.

PUBLIC MEETING in AUCKLAND on the DANGERS of the SWINE FLU VACCINE

PUBLIC MEETING in AUCKLAND on the DANGERS of the SWINE FLU VACCINE

WHEN: SAT 3 OCTOBER
WHERE: GREY LYNN COMMUNITY CENTRE
510 RICHMOND ROAD, GREY LYNN
TIME: 11am To 1pm

• THE SWINE FLU (H1N1) VACCINES ARE NOW BEING RELEASED AROUND THE WORLD – EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NO CREDIBLE SAFETY TESTS.

• THESE VACCINE CONTAINS INGREDIENTS WHICH MAY CAUSE PARALYSIS, CANCER, AUTISM, AND OTHER SERIOUS ILLNESSES. THE 'SWINE FLU' VACCINE OF 1976 CAUSED MANY DEATHS AND PARALYSIS BEFORE IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET.

• ONE INGREDIENT IN MANY MANUFACTURERS' 2009 SWINE FLU (H1N1) VACCINES, CALLED 'SQUALENE' IS THE CAUSE OF 'GULF WAR SYNDROME' WHICH IS AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE THAT LEAVES THE VICTIM SICK ... FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. 175,000 MEN AND WOMEN BECAME ILL FROM THE EFFECTS OF SQUALENE. ONE BRAND OF 'SWINE FLU' VACCINE CONTAINS 60,000 TIMES MORE SQUALENE THAN THE GULF WAR VACCINES.

• DISREGARDING THE DANGERS OF THE VACCINE, DOES IT PROTECT YOU FROM THE 'SWINE FLU'? NO. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE VACCINE CAN PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING THE 'SWINE FLU'. (Note: MAJOR PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES HAVE CONCLUDED THAT EVEN THE SEASONAL FLU VACCINES DON'T WORK.)

• SO, INDEED, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO SERIOUS TESTING? ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE W.H.O. DECLARED A 'LEVEL 6 PANDEMIC' AND THE VACCINE HAS HAD TO BE 'RUSHED' INTO PRODUCTION.

• ONE MANUFACTURER'S FLU VACCINE WAS FOUND TO BE CONTAMINATED IN EUROPE WITH LIVE BIRD FLU. EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THE CONTAMINATION, THE COMPANY THAT MADE it (BAXTER INT'L LTD) HAS BEEN AWARDED A CONTRACT TO SUPPLY NEW ZEALAND WITH 300,000 DOSES OF 'SWINE FLU' VACCINE.

• THE NEW ZEALAND MINISTRY OF HEALTH SAYS IT WILL NOT HAVE THE VACCINE TESTED HERE, BUT WILL RELY ON THE MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY DATA.
