Getting enough sleep is important not only for our health but also for learning. If sleep is good for us, why do children stop napping as they get older? Why do some children stop napping around their second birthday while others nap much longer? To answer these questions, scientists reviewed studies on how sleep, the brain, and memory develop. They took information from each area to create a new theory about why and when children stop napping. The scientists suggested a specific “memory area” in the brain, known as the hippocampus, develops as children grow up. Once the hippocampus can store the day’s memories, it results in fewer “napping” signals sent to the body, causing fewer naps. Information about how and why children stop napping is important for parents and teachers so they can best support children’s sleep needs.
充足的睡眠不仅对我们的健康很重要,对学习也很重要。如果睡眠对我们有好处,为什么孩子随着年龄的增长就不再午睡了呢?为什么有些孩子在两岁左右就不午睡了,而有些孩子午睡的时间却更长?为了回答这些问题,科学家们回顾了有关睡眠、大脑和记忆发展的研究。他们从每个领域获取信息,就儿童停止午睡的原因和时间提出了新的理论。科学家们认为,随着儿童的成长,大脑中一个被称为海马体的特定 "记忆区域 "会逐渐形成。一旦海马体能够储存一天的记忆,就会减少向身体发出的 "打盹 "信号,从而导致打盹次数减少。有关儿童如何以及为何停止小睡的信息对家长和老师来说非常重要,这样他们就能最好地满足儿童的睡眠需求。

The healthcare industry creates 4.4% of the world’s carbon emissions. To put this into perspective, if the healthcare industry were a country, it would be the fifth-largest carbon emitter on the planet. The goal of the healthcare industry is to create new, life-saving treatments for patients, but it also produces a lot of waste that cannot be recycled, such as plastic and chemicals. Additionally, this industry uses a lot of non-renewable energy. The Green Lab Project is a worldwide, 10-year-old program attempting to reduce the carbon emissions caused by the activities of scientists within the healthcare industry. The Green Lab project arrived at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) in 2020, at the request of a group of postdocs, graduate students, and employees. The BCH Green Labs group is working to sponsor environment-protecting projects and educate BCH scientists to adopt more responsible, informed, and “greener” work practices. This article will describe ways that BCH scientists are trying to reduce lab waste and energy consumption, including sharing equipment and materials to limit waste production, cleaning freezers regularly, and using outlet timers to avoid wasting energy.
医疗保健行业的碳排放量占全球碳排放量的 4.4%。从这个角度来看,如果医疗保健行业是一个国家,那么它将是全球第五大碳排放国。医疗保健行业的目标是为病人创造新的救命疗法,但同时也会产生大量无法回收的废物,如塑料和化学品。此外,该行业还使用大量不可再生能源。绿色实验室项目是一个全球性的项目,已有 10 年历史,旨在减少医疗保健行业科学家的活动所造成的碳排放。2020 年,应一群博士后、研究生和员工的要求,绿色实验室项目来到了波士顿儿童医院(BCH)。波士顿儿童医院绿色实验室小组致力于赞助环保项目,并教育波士顿儿童医院的科学家们采取更负责任、更知情、更 "绿色 "的工作方式。本文将介绍 BCH 科学家减少实验室废物和能源消耗的方法,包括共享设备和材料以限制废物的产生、定期清洁冰柜以及使用插座定时器以避免浪费能源。

When scientists study plants, they often collect, preserve, and store parts of the plants in a big collection called an herbarium. These plant specimens serve as proof that a species was growing in a certain place at a certain time. Herbaria (“herbaria” is the plural of herbarium) are where scientists describe new plant species and study how different species are related. Herbaria also contain lots of information about where certain plant species grow, what type of habitats species like, and at what time of year plants bloom and make fruits. Finally, herbaria are powerful tools for helping us understand how plants are affected by disturbances like habitat destruction and climate change. For all of these reasons, herbaria allow us to better understand and protect plant species all over the world. To continue benefitting from herbaria, we need to keep collecting plants and make these collections accessible to the world.
科学家在研究植物时,通常会收集、保存和储存植物的部分标本,这些标本被称为标本馆。这些植物标本可以证明某个物种在某个时间生长在某个地方。标本馆("herbaria "是herbarium的复数)是科学家描述新植物物种和研究不同物种之间关系的地方。标本馆还包含大量信息,如某些植物物种生长在哪里、物种喜欢什么样的栖息地、植物在一年中的什么时候开花结果等。最后,标本馆还是帮助我们了解植物如何受到栖息地破坏和气候变化等干扰影响的有力工具。基于上述原因,标本馆让我们能够更好地了解和保护世界各地的植物物种。为了继续受益于标本馆,我们需要不断收集植物,并让全世界都能接触到这些藏品。

Did you ever eat too much salty popcorn? What happened afterwards? You probably became really thirsty. There was so much salt in the popcorn that the saltiness in your body got out of balance. The same way your popcorn can be too salty or just right, the saltiness in our oceans and coastal seas can be right or wrong for the marine life. You can tell the difference between salty ocean water and fresh lake water from their different tastes and smells, and from the fact that you can float easier in the ocean. However, the effects of saltiness are much more important for animals, plants, algae, and other organisms that live in the water—for them, saltiness is a matter of life and death.
你吃过太咸的爆米花吗?之后发生了什么?你可能变得非常口渴。爆米花里的盐太多了,以至于你体内的咸度失去了平衡。就像爆米花可能太咸也可能恰到好处一样,我们的海洋和近海的咸度对海洋生物来说也可能是对的,也可能是错的。你可以从咸海水和淡湖水不同的味道和气味,以及在海洋中更容易漂浮的事实中,分辨出两者的区别。然而,对于生活在水中的动物、植物、藻类和其他生物来说,咸度的影响要重要得多--因为咸度关系到它们的生死。

Life has been evolving in the oceans much longer than it has on land, resulting in highly diverse ocean organisms—particularly microbes like bacteria and archaea. Ocean microbes perform crucial functions that influence the health of the ocean and ultimately impact Earth’s climate. To understand the diversity and functions of marine organisms, scientists have used a powerful technique called metagenomics to study the DNA of all the organisms present in an ocean-water sample at once. In our research, we combined results from multiple ocean metagenomic studies, taken from various locations and depth zones across the world’s oceans, to produce a global ocean genome composed of 317.5 million groups of similar genes—approximately half of which could be categorized by type of organism and function. This unprecedented amount of data has much to teach us about varied ocean habitats and can help scientists answer many questions about ocean organisms and their functions.
生命在海洋中进化的时间远远长于在陆地上进化的时间,从而产生了高度多样化的海洋生物,特别是细菌和古细菌等微生物。海洋微生物发挥着至关重要的功能,影响着海洋的健康,并最终影响地球的气候。为了了解海洋生物的多样性和功能,科学家们使用了一种叫做元基因组学的强大技术,一次性研究海水样本中所有生物的 DNA。在我们的研究中,我们综合了从世界各大洋的不同地点和深度区域采集的多个海洋元基因组研究结果,得出了一个由 3.175 亿组相似基因组成的全球海洋基因组--其中大约一半可按生物类型和功能进行分类。这些史无前例的数据对我们了解不同的海洋栖息地有很大帮助,可以帮助科学家解答许多有关海洋生物及其功能的问题。

According to one of the most important theories in psychology, called attachment theory, being close to a person who loves and supports us in times of need evokes a sense of security that allows us to explore the world around us. But can this sense of security also give us “superpowers”, such as an improved sense of hearing? To test this, we conducted an experiment in which we performed two hearing tests: one was a regular test and, in the other, participants looked at a picture of a trusted loved one. The results were very surprising—when the participants looked at a picture of their loved one, their threshold for hearing was significantly better. So, the next time you try to hear a whisper, try to imagine the face of someone you love—you might be able to hear better.
根据心理学中最重要的理论之一--依恋理论,当我们需要帮助时,与爱我们并支持我们的人亲近,会唤起我们的安全感,使我们能够探索周围的世界。但这种安全感是否也能给我们带来 "超能力",比如改善听觉?为了验证这一点,我们做了一个实验,进行了两项听力测试:一项是常规测试,另一项是让参与者观看可信赖的亲人的照片。结果非常出人意料--当参与者看着亲人的照片时,他们的听力阈值明显提高了。因此,下次当你试图听到耳语时,试着想象一下你所爱的人的面容,也许你会听得更清楚。

Do you ever wonder why you remember some experiences better than others? Why do you remember that funny joke your friend told at lunch a few months ago or the scary snake you saw in your backyard, but not that time you went to the post office with your parents? Just like a computer has a save button, our brains do, too! When something scary, exciting, or strange happens, a small part of the brain, the amygdala, helps us click “save” on that event so we can remember it later. Decades of research have helped scientists understand what parts of the brain are important for memory and how the amygdala works with other brain regions to tag experiences as worth remembering. This research is important for understanding how memories are formed and can help us create new therapies for people with memory problems, who have trouble forming new memories and remembering past experiences.
你有没有想过,为什么有些经历你记得比其他经历更清楚?为什么你能记住几个月前午餐时朋友讲的那个有趣的笑话,或者你在后院看到的那条可怕的蛇,却记不住那次和父母一起去邮局的经历?就像电脑有保存键一样,我们的大脑也有!当可怕、刺激或奇怪的事情发生时,大脑的一小部分--杏仁核--会帮助我们点击 "保存 "按钮,以便日后回忆起这件事。数十年的研究帮助科学家们了解了大脑的哪些部分对记忆很重要,以及杏仁核是如何与其他脑区合作来标记值得记忆的经历的。这项研究对于了解记忆是如何形成的非常重要,可以帮助我们为有记忆问题的人创造新的疗法,因为这些人在形成新记忆和记住过去的经历方面存在困难。

As adults get older, their body functions decline. This can cause a build up of harmful substances, called reactive oxygen species, which can damage the cells: the process is called oxidative stress. Luckily, the body uses superhero chemicals called antioxidants to fight against oxidative stress, with the most common being a chemical called glutathione. We were curious to know whether glutathione levels change with age, and how. In previous studies, some researchers measured glutathione levels in the brains of healthy individuals and in the preserved brains of people that had passed away. Other researchers measured glutathione levels in the blood. We analyzed all the results to see how they fit together. Compared to young adults, glutathione levels in older people were either higher, lower, or unchanged depending on the brain region scientists looked at. In blood, glutathione levels were usually lower with increasing age. This means that oxidative stress contributes to aging by damaging the cells in different parts of the brain and in the body, and that the superhero chemical provides protection by fighting oxidative stress.
随着年龄的增长,成年人的身体机能会下降。这会导致有害物质(称为活性氧)的积累,从而损害细胞:这一过程被称为氧化应激。幸运的是,人体会使用被称为抗氧化剂的超级化学物质来对抗氧化应激,其中最常见的化学物质是谷胱甘肽。我们很想知道谷胱甘肽的水平是否会随着年龄的增长而变化,以及如何变化。在之前的研究中,一些研究人员测量了健康人大脑中的谷胱甘肽水平,以及保存的逝者大脑中的谷胱甘肽水平。其他研究人员则测量了血液中的谷胱甘肽水平。我们对所有结果进行了分析,以了解它们是如何结合在一起的。与青壮年相比,老年人的谷胱甘肽水平要么更高,要么更低,要么保持不变,这取决于科学家所研究的大脑区域。在血液中,谷胱甘肽水平通常随着年龄的增长而降低。这意味着氧化压力会损害大脑和身体不同部位的细胞,从而导致衰老,而超级英雄化学物质则通过对抗氧化压力来提供保护。

This means that oxidative stress contributes to aging by damaging the cells in different parts of the brain and in the body, and that the superhero chemical provides protection by fighting oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":73060,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers for young minds","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139625306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do you ever think about how people can skip, hop, run, and jump? It is largely thanks to our incredible tendons! Tendons connect muscles to bones, with the special job of transferring the muscle’s power to the attached bones to help us move. Tendons are strong and do not change shape easily. This helps ensure our bodies move efficiently. Did you know that there are thousands of tendons in the body? The largest of all is the Achilles tendon, in the ankle. Whilst tendons are strong and resilient, they can become injured. The most common injury to tendons is called tendinopathy. Exercises are commonly used to treat tendon pain. In fact, exercise makes tendons stronger and helps people return to doing the activities they love.
你想过人们为什么能跳、蹦、跑和跳吗?这在很大程度上要归功于我们不可思议的肌腱!肌腱连接肌肉和骨骼,其特殊作用是将肌肉的力量传递给连接的骨骼,帮助我们移动。肌腱坚固且不易变形。这有助于确保我们的身体高效运动。您知道人体中有成千上万条肌腱吗?其中最大的是脚踝处的跟腱。虽然肌腱结实而有弹性,但也会受伤。肌腱最常见的损伤称为肌腱病。运动通常用于治疗肌腱疼痛。事实上,锻炼能让肌腱变得更强壮,帮助人们恢复他们喜爱的活动。
