The new study showed that men appreciate short women with long legs as most attractive. Women, it turns out you should not seek to excessive meat and worry about low growth. You should strive to form of Skarlett Johansson, Rekuel Welch and Marilyn Monroe.

Short girls with long shapely legs, relatively lush figure, large breasts are more attractive to men as Dr. William Brown from Brunelsk University said. With the ideal of male image is all opposite: women like high guys with wide shoulders. Men legs should be relatively short (compared with the upper part of the body). For example, diver Michael Phelps may be called ideal for many women.

Scientists note that a very important principle of attractive appearance is the symmetry of the human body and face. Scientists conducted an experiment in which it appeared that both men and women feel equally balanced body more attractive.

The purpose of new research was to determine what the preferences of people of the East and the West: what features attract their attention. So, it turned out that the residents of the West like look to human eyes and mouth, but eastern people like a nose. Scientists note that people are not born with a standard way to assess the appearance of other people, their preferences based on culture.

Using a special technology - tracking eye movements, scientists from the University of Glasgow concluded that cultural differences make us look at and evaluate those other people in different ways.

Leading specialist Dr. Roberto Kaldara said that social experience has some impact on how people perceive those of others. Researchers say they have found striking differences eye movement representatives of West and East. First look first at the specific features such as eyes and mouth, while residents of East focus its attention on individual rights center - that is, on the nose.

Dutch scientists from the University of Groningen have been able to determine the veracity of the female orgasm. They were able to conduct such studies with the help of brain scanning.

Professor Holsteg who directed the research found that at the time of simulation of orgasm cortical brain structures work, thus a woman very clearly aware of her actions at this point. But at the moment of genuine orgasm no hesitation in the brain was not fixed, so the scientists concluded, this process is taking place at the subconscious level.

The experiment made with the participation of thirteen heterosexual couples aged 19 to 49 years, showed that imitation orgasm occurs with very high accuracy, and one of the major factors affecting the entire process are the temperature of the feet and psychological atmosphere. It is necessary to always find their feet warm and comfortable environment was supportive and emotionally plan. The psychological and emotional background is especially important for women.

Each of us stores in the memory many events of own childhood, but even with a strong desire, we can not remember everything. None of the adults could not recall the time of his birth and early years of life. Our memories dropped from about 3-7 years. This phenomenon psychologists call childhood amnesia.

The term “infant amnesia” was introduced by Sigmund Freud in 1899. According to Freud, adults are incapable of remembering the events of the first 3-5 years of his life, because during the first years of life the child is experiencing aggressive and ofter sexual proclivities against their parents. But that idea was unilateral and not to beget.

Perhaps the main cause of childhood amnesia are differences in the encoding of received information of children and adults. And if an adult is able to store a lot of data in memory, then child periodically lose them.

The process of forming memories is controlled by network of nerve cells, which is created in 6-18 months. At this stage a short-term and long-term memory is appeared. But if our memory has already reached the desired level, why we forget our childhood? It turns out that this is happening because of lack of possibility to link events with words, because we do not yet know how to speak, and do not know the words that can describe any event, the IT-Day says.

A new study showed that enough often two certain genetic variations of fallen into depression people awakens thoughts about suicide during treatment by conventional antidepressants.

During the experiment reports of suicidal thoughts came from 2 to 15 times more often from patients subjected to treatment of antidepressants with key gene variations than patients without them, said psychiatrist Gonzalo Laje from National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda. Probationers received citalopram, usually issued antidepressant that is related to drugs of fluoxetine type (Prozac).

These results should be taken into account in medicine before invent of genetic test for identifying people liable to risk of suicidal thoughts in treatment of antidepressants.

The study found two critical gene, which influence the formation of cell receptors, reacting to glutamate (regulates metabolism in tissues, affects the electrical conductivity of pulses), which is involved in the antidepressant effect. Variations of these genes provoke suicidal thinking only of oppressed people receiving antidepressant, researchers have concluded in the American Journal of Psychiatry for October.

Laje’s team studied 1915 patients, collected from all over the country for study that was federal level-funded. Probationers received standard doses of citalopram during 14 weeks. Researchers took blood samples of patients and studied the changes in the genetic code by 768 stations of 68 genes that may exacerbate the depression.

Combination of different versions of the gene in 120 participants, who have thought about suicide during the test, the researchers compared with DNA samples from those participants who have not thought about suicide. Previous experiments have shown that 4 percent of people receiving antidepressant is beginning to think about suicide.

People usually inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Some have two versions of the same gene, while others have a pair of identical genes.

Progression of thoughts about suicide was occured in 1 percent of patients who have inherited at least one copy of the first gene variant, bearing information about glutamate, with or without a copy of the second variant of this gene. Roughly a one third of these individuals frequently appeared thought about suicide.

Approximately 41 percent of the participants had one or two different copies of a second gene with information about glutamate, but neither one of the first. Only in one-fifth of these individuals thoughts about death and suicide are developed.

Most participants - 58 percent - did not have any version of the gene investigated. Less than 5 percent of these individuals reported suicidal thoughts during treatment.

Later the team of Laje reported on two additional versions of a gene associated with thoughts about suicide in patients taking antidepressant.

Further study may help create a genetic test on the likelihood of success of antidepressant treatment, , Weissman said. Only 25 percent of patients in the study of Laje, who thought about suicide, recovering from depression when taking medication, and 42 percent of those who had no such thoughts.
