Recreational Use of Nitrous Oxide (N 2 O) and Sensation-Seeking Among Adolescents in Sweden
Background Inhalation (Sniffing) of N2O among adolescents has increased in Sweden during recent years. Both neurological and thromboembolic consequences have been reported. This study aims to evaluate the association between a sensation-seeking personality and sniffing of N2O among students attending schools in Stockholm.Method Students, 15–18 years old, from 77% of schools in Stockholm participated summing up to 8389 boys and 8425 girls. Data wa…
Direct Effects of Bipedalism on Early Hominin Fetuses Stimulated Later Musical and Linguistic Evolution
We hypothesize that auditory and motor entrainment evolved in early hominin fetuses in direct response to their mothers' bipedal footsteps and, later, contributed to the evolution of music and language via two related processes. First, selection for bipedalism transformed feet from grasping into weight-bearing organs, which negatively affected infants' ability to cling to their mothers, provoking the emergence of novel affective vocal exchanges b…
Movement is the Song of the Body
Schooling fish, swarms of starlings, plodding wildebeest, and musicians all display impressive synchronization. To what extent do they use acoustic cues to achieve these feats? Could the acoustic cues used in movement synchronization be relevant to the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans? In this article, we build on the emerging view in evolutionary biology that the ability to synchronize movement evolved l…
Did heart asymmetry play a role in the evolution of human handedness
Almost 90% of humans are right handed, but why is unclear. It has been suggested that right handedness evolved in the context of escalating motor and cognitive demands related to tool use. Literature indicates that homicide may have been common in early hominins. Since, in combat with sharp implements, handedness may influence the relative level of exposure of left and right thorax, the hypothesis presented here is that thoracic anatomic asymmetr…
Maternal smoking during pregnancy and physical control and coordination among offspring
BACKGROUND: To examine if smoking during pregnancy is associated with poorer motor competence among offspring, indicating impaired neurological function. The measures may be less susceptible to socioeconomic confounding than cognition tests. METHODS: Data were from 13,207 members of the National Child Development Study, born in Great Britain in 1958. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was recorded prospectively. Tests of physical control and coord…
