They now know more precisely which areas of the brain react over time. Premature infants are more likely to suffer from attention and emotional regulation disorders. For over a decade, a team funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has been ...

Men who conform to traditional gender roles are at a higher risk of suicide

Bern (ots) - Men commit suicide much more often than women. Those who want to live up to the traditional male image of strength and independence are particularly at risk.

Animal experiments: SNSF warns of consequences of a ban

Furthermore, animal testing could be relocated to countries with much less stringent welfare rules.

Full-time employees face higher risk of cancer

Bern (ots) - Working at 100% is linked to a higher incidence of the disease, according to an SNSF-funded study. Self-employed men and women who stay at home fared best, but the explanation is not as straightforward as it might seem. Some of the risk factors for cancer are well known - smoking, alcohol, a sedentary lifestyle - while others are a bit harder to explain. For example, work. As part of the completed, ...

The findings of this research carried out at the University of Fribourg show how our bodily rhythms affect our visual perception.
