I wonder how they can attribute that sort of complex behavior to watching TV as a young child. Really there were no other possible factors just too much tv.

Other than the accepted name of course.

And at night blistering cold winds that blow diamond dust at Mach 1 speeds and giant arachnid parasites that melt you with acid slowly as they digest you and rip you apart.

Red dwarfs are redder than our sun, but they aren't really a color anyone would describe as red. Their surface temperatures are around the same as the filament of an incandescent lightbulb or hotter, which means it would be about the same color as an old fashioned light bulb.

And it almost goes without saying, but kids need to have access to different activities if you want them off the screen. Are there books, toys, and crafts in the home? I hate when parents complain about their kids not doing things when they don’t give them the opportunity to do it.

Now you're talking about a different kind of neuroplasticity. Structural neuroplasticity encompasses the types of changes we see when new pathways are built like when you learn to ride a bike or learn a new language. The type of bike you learn to ride or the language you choose to learn won't make any physical difference to the brain; it's the learning of a new skill that causes the change, not the topic so to speak. If we don't continue to use the new skill the pathway is pruned.

Beliefs are different. We develop them from experiences and how we feel about them. They are the product of thought, not a physical thing.

Try Fancy Feast classic pates. The Seafood variety is supposed to be the least stinky... post-processing, that is.

No, wet food is about the same for their teeth as dry but is far better for their overall health. I'd love to see a study, is there a link?

Dry food contains far too much starch; grains or vegetables, for cats.

Everyone knows that Wolf 359 was an inside job!

Also, if they see you reading, they are much more likely to read.

It can change on a structural level through learning; why would learning beliefs be any different? (Over time through repetition, not a one-off thought causing permanent changes.)

Anyone else find this study kind of fishy.. how well behaved exactly are kindergarteners expected to be?

For a young cat, without existing dental decay, would they benefit from a combined diet of dry and wet food? For example, dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening, or vice versa? What about treats or toys that aid in cleaning the teeth?

I stand corrected. Thank you. The non correlation between B cells and circulating neutralizing antibodies is interesting and given what you are studying pretty exciting. The second paper probably quashes my theory that the sustained circulation was due to exposure since it seems to maintain a constant level after two years. Two questions if you have time. Is this a similar reason for the smallpox vaccination lasting as long as it does? A lot of the vaccines for bacterial infections target the toxins produced by the bacteria so I have mentally separated vaccines for virus snd bacteria into two columns about how long they are effective. Given what you have pointed out just how terrible of a general rule is this?

Once again thank you got taking the time to point out that I was wrong. I do appreciate it.

Venus is right next door, and if you don't mind not living on the ground it's pretty habitable given our current technology. You can make graphene from co2, and then you could use that graphene to build more habitat. The sulfuric acid also isn't as much as a problem as people make it out to be. Sulfuric acid H2So4 which is just 2 waters bonded by a sulfur atom. If you have sufficient electricity sulfuric acid can be turned into water. It even has phosphorus which is essential for all life.

If you want to surf the skies Venus would be the target.

That’s way too much TV time for any child, even older children, let alone a baby.
