CHICAGO puma ignite sk , Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- A new study by University of Illinois (UI) researchers found that monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), a class of nutrients found in olive oils, nuts and avocados, are linked to general intelligence, and that this relationship is driven by the correlation between MUFAs and the organization of the brain's attention network.


The researchers studied 99 healthy older adults recruited through Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, compared their patterns of fatty acid nutrients found in blood samples puma tenisky vypredaj , functional MRI data that measured the efficiency of brain networks, and results of a general intelligence test.


The researchers found that general intelligence was associated with the brain's dorsal attention network, which plays a central role in attention-demanding tasks and everyday problem solving. In particular, the researchers found that general intelligence was associated with how efficiently the dorsal attention network is functionally organized using a measure called small-world propensity, which describes how well the neural network is connected within locally clustered regions as well as across globally integrated systems.


They found that those with higher levels of MUFAs in their blood had greater small-world propensity in their dorsal attention network. Taken together with an observed correlation between higher levels of MUFAs and greater general intelligence, these findings suggest a pathway by which MUFAs affect cognition.


"Our findings provide novel evidence that MUFAs are related to a very specific brain network puma court star sk , the dorsal attentional network, and how optimal this network is functionally organized," said UI psychology professor and the study leader Aron Barbey. "Our results suggest that if we want to understand the relationship between MUFAs and general intelligence, we need to take the dorsal attention network into account. It's part of the underlying mechanism that contributes to their relationship."


Barbey hopes these findings will guide further research into how nutrition affects cognition and intelligence. In particular, the next step is to run an interventional study over time to see whether long-term MUFA intake influences brain network organization and intelligence.

BERLIN, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- It's only less than a month before the Germen federal elections day on September 24.


German Chancellor Angela Merkel is leading in polls. But the overall situation in Germany is not so good as ordinary people believe. The long-term and sustainable solutions for refugee issues puma suede damske , and the rise of right-wing populism, among other difficult issues, need to be addressed by Merkel and the German government.


To some extent, Germany is enjoying some best times after the 20082009 financial crisis. Its economy keeps gaining momentum for growth, its export is robust, and economic think-tanks keep raising their expectations of Germany's GDP growth rates. Employment is booming Puma velvet creepers sk , as Merkel in her campaign outline vowed to achieve full employment by 2025.


The sound economic situation made the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) enjoy its upper hand against the Social Democrats (SPD), a center-left party traditionally representing workers and employees and always paying attention to social justice.


But in its coalition with SPD, Merkel's center-right Union has addressed a series of issues concerning social justice and showed center-left political stances, including supporting a welfare state and legal minimum salaries, and turning off Germany's nuclear power plants. SPD has also been accused of lacking difference between itself and the Union in both domestic and foreign issues.


The latest polls showed that Merkel's CDU and its Bavarian sister Christian Socialist Union has quite a big leading edge in the support rate listings. The Forsa announced Wednesday that 38 percent of respondents would vote for the Union if the next Sunday were the Federal elections day, 14 percentage points higher than that of SPD led by Martin Schulz.


However puma basket heart sk , another issue that voters care the most, security, is quite controversial. Many German people feel that the society is no longer as safe as before, and the country are now vulnerable to sporadic terror attacks.


When it comes to security, refugee issues have to be mentioned, as some media has called as the Achilles' Ankle for Merkel. Since the summer of 2015 Puma Fenty Creepers Cervene , over 1 million refugees from the Middle East and North Africa poured into Europe, and Germany accommodated the most refugees in European Union.


Although the refugee crisis has passed with a dropped number of new refugees, and Germany managed to handle the social and economic impacts brought by over one million of refugees, but it is true that some terrorists also entered Germany and launched a series of attacks here.


Merkel admitted part of failure of the refugee policy and made some adjustments last year, however, she Puma Fenty Creepers Cierne , on various occasions, including the summer press conference on Tuesday and several election campaigns, defended her decisions in 2015, and said refugees are welcome but the year 2015 would not repeat.


Merkel on Tuesday called for a long-term and sustainable solutions to refugee issues, and accused Germany's EU partners of not pulling their weight.


But Germany also needs to do more to send failed asylum seekers back home and help those succeed integrating into a new and strange society, taking into consideration of both its people and the people of its European partners.


As the federal elections are coming and all parties are going all out for election campaigns Puma Fenty Creepers Biele , the refugee issues have been mentioned more than usual. Despite a cool-down of this issue, in a Europe facing increasing unpredictable lonely-wolf attacks, observers are concerned about a swing of voters' attitude if major perpetrations take place be.
