  1. Teacher's pet? Guinea pigs may help autistic kids in classroom

    Kids with autism spectrum disorder could have a new ally in the classroom: animals. Autistic children who played with guinea pigs rather than toys were more talkative, made more eye contact and displayed a more positive attitude, according to a study in the journal PLoS ONE.

  3. Multibillion-dollar map of human brain might not be worth it

    The Obama administration is reportedly considering funding a multibillion-dollar effort to map the human brain. This so-called Brain Activity Map project is inspired by the success of the Human Genome Project in mapping the genetic code. The proposal was outlined in the journal Neuron last summer by a group of leading researchers, among them geneticist George Church of Harvard Medical School, one of the originators of the genome project. This is an endeavor with exciting potential, but we should think about the pros and the cons before proceeding.

  4. Exercise class welcomes dogs too

    Many people get home from work in need of a trip to the gym or an exercise class. But the list of excuses is myriad, starting with that most precious commodity, time. Factor in a dog — in my case, a rambunctious terrier mix named Beanie — and it's likely that all thoughts of a workout vanish.

  6. Schmoozing, and its limits, in a wired world

    I recently hired a student to help me get wired into what I'm told is the minimum needed to survive in today's digital world. So now in addition to Facebook, I am able to link in, tweet, Google Plus and other things I can't remember because I haven't used them yet.

  7. Oscar best-song nominee J. Ralph: 'It's outrageous'

    This time of year it&rsquo;s common to hear many people saying, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an honor just to be nominated.&rdquo; But the comment sounds pretty convincing coming from Oscar-nominated film composer J. Ralph, considering the odds he beat in being recognized for his song <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/19/entertainment/la-et-ms-chasing-ice-documentary-score-composer-j-ralph-20121118">&ldquo;Before My Time.&rdquo;</a>

  8. A short walk that crossed worlds

    My daughter Peyton is nonverbal and severely challenged by autism. I once believed she'd never experience a meaningful romantic relationship. Then, at a monthly workshop in Los Angeles for people who communicate via keyboard, she met Gabriel, a young man who traveled from Ventura with his support team. Dressed in preppy khakis and a plaid sport shirt, he seemed to turn a few heads, including Peyton's.

  10. Autism and early exposure to traffic pollution linked

    In a finding that points to a link between environmental toxins and autism, a new study shows that children who were exposed to the highest levels of traffic-related air pollution during gestation and in early infancy were three times more likely to be diagnosed with the neurodevelopmental disorder than were those whose early exposure to such pollutants was very low.

  12. The healing power of fun

    One morning 13 years ago, I brought my young son to a storefront children's gym in Culver City. Ezra had recently been diagnosed with autism, and someone &mdash; a doctor or a therapist &mdash; had suggested that Dave Rabb could help.
