New light on impact of video gaming on the brain
While video game players (VGPs) exhibit more efficient visual attention abilities, they are also much more likely to use navigation strategies that rely on the brain’s reward system (the caudate nucleus) and not the brain’s spatial memory system (the hippocampus), a new study has found. - Source

Tracking trends in youth self-harm visitation rates to Alberta's emergency rooms
New insight is being gained into the youth visiting Alberta’s emergency rooms for self-harming behavior. The study examined approximately 6,000 visits of young patients from 2002 until 2011. It found youth from families who received various government subsidies, and First Nations youth, had far higher visitation rates to emergency rooms for self-harm compared to youth from families who didn’t receive a subsidy. - Source

Is Matcha The New Coffee? Talking With The Founders Of Panatea
Matcha is suddenly ubiquitous, popping up in menus at New York City hotspots like Cafe Clover and Momofuku Ko, as well as in the Instagram feeds of celebrity trendsetters Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristin Cavallari. Loaded with antioxidants and boasting benefits including speeding up metabolism, it’s easy to see why the Japanese tea powder has become so popular. But not all matcha is created equal.

Can 'The Flash' Be One Of The Best Comic Book Movies Ever Made... Again?
Phil Lord gave a podcast interview the other day where he discussed (among other things) the movie version of The Flash that he is co-writing with Chris Miller at the moment. They are not signed to direct it, merely write it, although I can’t imagine the amounts of cash Warner Bros. /Time Warner Inc. would be willing to throw at them in order to secure their directing services as well. The only real news is that the film will be somewhat stand-alone (that seems to be the optimistic notion behind the DC Cinematic Universe at this point) and that they will likely have Ezra Miller playing Barry Allen. That’s a surprise, as the easiest way to differentiate their Flash movie with the gloriously awesome The Flash CW show would be to use Wally West or pretty much any of the other comic book Flashes aside from Mr. Allen. However, this is not the place to discuss the challenges of making a Flash movie in the shadow of the Flash TV show. Said TV show is ending its first season right this second on the East Coast which of course in no way relates to my decision to publish this piece right at 6:00 PST (9:00pm EST). This is about a theoretical brightest timeline where Lord and Miller pull off an utterly terrific The Flash movie, one that stands as one of the best superheroes comic book movies ever made. If they pull that off, it will be the second time such a feat was achieved. I am speaking of course of the 93-minute pilot for the CBS television show The Flash that aired in the fall of 1990 and was eventually released as a stand-alone home video “movie” in the summer of 1991. - Source

For spider monkeys, social grooming comes with a cost
Social grooming, or helping others to stay clean and free of lice and other ecto-parasites, has long been associated with hygiene and good health in wild primates. In the process of picking out ecto-parasites, however, the groomers may be picking up internal ones, a new study finds. The results of the study on critically endangered brown spider monkeys show that physical contact is associated with the spread of several common gastrointestinal parasites. - Source
