Study Helps to Settle Debate on Roles of REM and Non-REM Sleep in Visual Learning

During non-REM sleep, visual areas of the brain exhibit an excitation/inhibition balance indicative of increased plasticity. REM sleep appears to be essential for people to reap the benefits of the increased plasticity that occurs during NREM sleep.

Highly Reproducible Sex Differences in Aspects of Human Brain Anatomy

Analysis of over 2,000 brain scans revealed evidence of highly reproducible sex differences in the volume of different regions of the brain. On average, females had greater cortical volume in the medial and lateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, superior temporal cortex, and lateral parietal cortex. Males had increased volume in the ventral temporal and occipital brain regions. Gene expression data suggest the potential role of sex chromosomes that contribute to the differences.

Association Between Erectile Dysfunction and Time Spent Watching Porn in Young Men

23% of men under the age of 35 who reported watching pornography frequently reported problems with erectile function when attempting intercourse with a partner. The study found a significant relationship between time spent watching pornographic movies and increased difficulty with erectile dysfunction with a partner.

How Traumatic Experiences Can Leave Their Mark on a Person’s Eyes

Pupillary response in those with PTSD differs from people who have not experienced traumatic events. The pupils of those with PTSD failed to show sharp constriction caused by light changes, and more enlargement when exposed to emotional stimuli that other participants. Patients with PTSD not only showed an exaggerated response to threatening stimuli but also to stimuli that depicted positive images.
