Pregnant drink binges harm kids' mental health
Conclusion This prospective cohort study has suggested that even occasional binge drinking in pregnancy may increase the risk of hyperactivity/inattention problems and lower academic performance when the children reach 11 years old.

Assessing the impact of alcohol in pregnancy on children’s outcomes is difficult. This is partly because assessing alcohol consumption is always difficult. People may not want to repo...

Sex addiction affects brain in 'same way as drugs'
Conclusion This observational study used the brain scans of 19 men with CSB to point to some areas of the brain that were activated more when viewing sexually explicit content, compared with men without the compulsive behaviour. There were many similarities between the brains and responses of men with and without CSB, indicating that the distinction was complex and overlapping. However, some areas were identified as being more active in men with CSB. This gives researchers in the field of addiction a better focus for future research. The research did not compare the brains of men with CSB to those people with substance ...
