Workers who have claimed an association between Fragile X [fra(x)] Syndrome and Hyperactivity and aggressive behavior have done so despite the lack of controlled studies using standard diagnostic criteria. Accordingly, we provided a controlled test of the hypothesis that individuals with the fra(x) Syndrome are more hy…

Mammalian body odour conveys cues about an individual's emotional state that can be recognised by conspecifics.

When humans handle a tool, such as a tennis racket or hammer, for the first time, they often wield it to determine its inertial properties. The mechanisms that contribute to perception of inertial properties are not fully understood. The present study's goal was to investigate how proprioceptive afferents contribute to…

BACKGROUND: The associations between biochemical indicators of osteocalcin and bone health are fairly well established in adults through observational studies. In this context, our objective was to assess serum level of uncarboxylated osteocalcin (uOC) and its relation to the incidence of bone fractures other bone heal…
