One of the signs to identify psychopathy, which can only develop specifically in adulthood, is the lack of empathy , that is the ability to understand and share the emotions of others at a Intuitive level.

To discover if this lack of empathy can be detected in young children from 11 to 16 years old, the team of psychologists recruited 62 of them with disruptive social behaviors and insensitive personality traits.In addition, 30 children without these characteristics were used as a control group.They were matched according to their cognitive ability, socioeconomic background and ethnicity.

While connecting to a MRI scanner, the children Children were placed with genuine laughter audio clips, along with false laughs and crying noises, then they were asked to rate, on a scale, how much they wanted to join with each sound .

Ceburro.The sympathetic hybrid of the zoo The ceburro born in Crimea has received the original name of «Telegraph» in honor of a newspaper of l country .As you can see in the picture his whole body is reminiscent of that of a donkey, but its legs are painted with the typical strokes of a zebra.A precious nature that, unfo...

A new way of life in Antarctica!

A new way of life in Antarctica! With 14 million square kilometers, in which the surface of Spain would fit about 28 times, and 10% of the earth's surface , covered by 90% of the planet's fresh water, mostly frozen , and large areas still unexplored, the discovery should not be a novelty of a new way of life in the form of bacteria; well, there are still hundreds, perhaps thousands of unidentified or classified microscopic species, in other less desolate corners and ends of the Earth.
