What We Know About the People Who Can Remember Everything
This article originally appeared on Inverse. By Yasmin Tayag After mentally peacing out and drifting through the weekend, most of us would find it hard to recall what happened just a few days ago. People with HSAM -- highly superior autobiographical memories -- don't have that problem. In fact, they'd be able to recall exactly what happened a month, a year, or even a decade ago in exact detail. While this intensive total recall can suck for HSAM subjects -- their memories of a gut-wrenching break-up or a mortifying faux pas are only made worse by the cruelly faithful emotional detail attached to them -- neuroscientists th...

I Came To A Sleep Epiphany, And Now I Get My Best Rest
Oh, the glorious hours of the quiet night when most people are sleeping! The silence of the house. The darkness, save for a small light on my desk, that surrounded me. The stillness was my paradise: It was the perfect time for me to write. I had an isolated space where it was just me alone with my ideas and thoughts. The words would flow into me with the force of a tidal wave. I couldn’t write them as fast as they appeared. There were no dogs barking. No phones ringing, beeping, or chiming. It was perfect. While I floated harmoniously in my spa of creativity each night, my husband slept. In fact, he had already been asl...

What It's Like to Be Allergic to Water
(Photo-Illustration: Photos: Corbis) By Alexa Tsoulis-Reay In 1963, a 15-year-old girl presented herself to a pair of dermatologists in Pennsylvania complaining that she'd broken out in angry, red lesions after a session of waterskiing. That first mysterious outbreak became a trend: Blotchy, itchy hives would pop up all over her limbs every time she took a bath, went swimming, or perspired heavily. The doctors conducted a series of tests to rule out obvious possible triggers like cold and, using a hand towel soaked in distilled water, identified a condition called aquagenic urticaria: Sufferers are so sensitive to pure w...

Is it ADHD—or Autism?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism can look a lot alike. Children with either one can be very active and impulsive, and can have trouble focusing and interacting with other people. In fact, it can be hard to tell the difference between the two.
But telling the difference is very important.
In a study just published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers looked at about 1,500 children between the ages of 2 and 17 who had a current diagnosis of autism (as reported by their parents). They found that those who got an ADHD diagnosis before they got an autism diagnosis were diagnosed with autism an averag...

Does your birthday affect your disease risk?
Conclusion
This modelling study used a large US medical centre database to explore the relationship between month of birth and lifetime disease risk. The study found a number of associations between birth month and risk of disease, some of which had been previously reported in the literature, as well as other new associations.
While these findings are of interest, this study can only demonstrate observations and associations. The study does not provide proof that being born in any particular month is the direct cause of any future disease development.
There may be many unmeasured factors behind any associations between d...

Overmedicating Children in Foster Care
On any given day nearly one in four children in foster care is taking at least one psychotropic medication—more than four times the rate for all children. Nearly half of children living in residential treatment centers or group homes take psychotropic medications. Children in foster care are more likely to be prescribed multiple psychotropic medications at very high doses, although research shows higher doses can result in serious side effects.
Viewers of the ABC News program 20/20 may remember Ke’onte Cook from a few years ago; he was a 10-year-old who had already spent four years in foster care being treated ...

Improvement in teacher-rated anxiety and social withdrawal also contributed to improvements in parent-rated disruptive behavior. Children who showed reduced anxiety also showed less disruptive behavior.

An Ancient Fix For Backache
Too many doctors refuse to think outside the narrow confines of the mainstream medical establishment – especially when it comes to chronic back pain.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons Americans go to the doctor, which explains why it’s also one of America’s biggest businesses.
But I never cease to be astounded when patients come to my wellness clinic with back pain and tell me they’ve already had a barrage of dangerous Big Pharma prescriptions pushed at them.
These drugs include highly addictive opiates like Vicodin, Percocet and OxyContin.
Meanwhile, big bucks are also made when doctors push ...

As a society, we spend a lot of time talking about physical strength. Newsstands are filled with weight lifting and fitness magazines, workout videos generate over $300 million dollars a year, and TV commercials are dominated by the latest fad diets and weight loss supplements.

Despite the significance of mental strength, many people aren't familiar with the co...
