Drug Dosing: Infants and Children01:29

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

328
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Sustainable Development

15.2K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

21.7K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.7K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Van der Waals Interactions01:24

Van der Waals Interactions

72.1K
Atoms and molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. These electrostatic forces arise from attractive or repulsive interactions between particles with permanent, partial, or temporary charges. The intermolecular forces between neutral atoms and molecules are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and dispersion forces, collectively known as van der Waals forces.

Language Development01:22

Language Development

939
Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Biology

Background:

  • The infant's psycho-physiological regulatory system develops from prenatal stages through infancy.
  • Temperament involves individual differences in reactivity and self-regulation.
  • Neurohormonal and physiological factors influence infant behavior and regulatory systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review theories and research connecting infant temperament with neurohormonal and physiological development.
  • To examine these links in both typically developing infants and those exposed to environmental risks.
  • To discuss the interplay between temperament, neurohormonal patterns, and developmental trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of theoretical models and empirical research.
  • Examination of studies measuring physiological stress responses (e.g., cortisol).
  • Analysis of research on socio-emotional interaction and physiological regulation (e.g., oxytocin).

Main Results:

  • Individual variations in physiological stress responses and regulation are associated with temperament.
  • Physiological regulation, particularly the touch-oxytocin pathway, may mitigate emotional dysregulation.
  • Prenatal maternal risks like stress and depression can influence fetal regulatory tendencies.

Conclusions:

  • Infant neurohormonal and physiological functioning establishes a critical developmental trajectory.
  • Temperament and neurobiological factors interact to shape regulatory capacities.
  • This understanding is vital for addressing individual differences in development.
