Have you ever heard a #child proudly say “Schau mal, zwei Hünde!” What sounds amusing to us shows how hard forming plurals is for a 3yo. Cheslie Klein, Charlotte Grosse Wiesmann & Angela Friederici show how maturation of #neural pathways in 🧠 is linked to form plural of #words.

Criminal minds in dementia
Criminal minds in #dementia: Broad meta-analysis by Matthias Schroeter & Lena Szabo in @nature.com including 236,360 persons. They found that larger atrophy in the brain is linked to criminal behavior in frontotemporal dementia, suggesting a loss of normal behavioral restraints. tinyurl.com/4dt6jd7s
