Researchers from Mass Eye and Ear and Northeastern University have discovered a previously unidentified immune response inside the nose that fights viruses responsible for upper respiratory tract infections. Further testing revealed that this protective response is inhibited at colder temperatures, making infection more likely to occur. New studypublished on December 6 in The Journal of …
A 7-year study of twins found that behavioral inhibition in childhood is associated with social anxiety in adolescence. Behavioral inhibition was mainly assessed by shyness. Parental stress and a number of other factors have been found to influence the strength of this association. The study was published in Development and psychopathology. Behavioral inhibition is a …
