The Effect of Anthropomorphic Picture Books on Children’s Knowledge about Animals‚" argues that showing anthropomorphized animals in books negatively influences children’s perception of nature; however‚ a counterargument confirms that children gain a sense of both factual and moral impacts‚ which can influence their knowledge positively.

University; he conducted a remarkable investigation with rats. His study consists of placing several sensors that control rough and tumble play in rats. When the volume of those sensors is increased‚ the playfulness in the rats is reduced‚ suggesting that some type of communication occurred among those rats. Consequently‚ rats were less willing to play. As a part of this experiment‚ rats are tickled on a regular basis to record their response. Rats

Aging in the brain is a complex process that involves several systems and structures. Normal aging not only shows a decreased activity in neurotransmission‚ but also is a major risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunction of the central noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems is one of the biological characteristics of aging‚ which may contribute to changes in cognitive and motor functions in aged persons. Furthermore‚ aging-dependent norepinephrine (NE) loss occurs earlier
