Parents’ brain activity ‘echoes’ their infant’s brain activity when they play together
When infants are playing with objects, their early attempts to pay attention to things are accompanied by bursts of high-frequency activity in their brain. But what happens when parents play together with them? New research, publishing December 13 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, by Dr Sam Wass of the University of East London in collaboration with Dr Victoria Leong (Cambridge University and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) and colleagues, shows for the first time that when adults are engaged in joint play together with their infant, their own brains show similar bursts of high-frequency activity. Intriguingly, these bursts of activity are linked to their baby’s attention patterns and not their own.
The authors simultaneously recorded electroencephalography (EEG) data from 12-month-old infants and their mothers when they were playing separately or together with toys. “Most infants spend the majority of their waking hours in the company of others. But almost everything we know about early learning in the brain comes from studies looking at individual baby brains in isolation,” said Dr Wass, lead author on the study. “By recording activity in a baby’s brain and their mother’s brain at the same time, we were able to see how changes in their brain activity reflected their own or each other’s behavior while they were playing together.”
“We know that, when an adult plays jointly together with a child, this helps the child to sustain attention to things,” he continued. “But until now we haven’t really understood why this is. Our findings suggested that, when a baby pays attention to things, the adult’s brain tracks and responds to her infant’s looking behavior - as if her infants’ actions are echoed in the parent’s brain activity. And we also found that, where the parent’s brain is more responsive to the child, the child sustains their attention for longer.”
Dr Leong, senior author on the study, said, “Our project asks more questions than it answers. We don’t know, for example, whether some parents are more responsive to their babies than others - and if so, why. And our study just looked at mums, so we don’t know whether mums and dads may be different in how they respond neurally to their babies. Our findings are exciting, but there is a lot more to investigate about how, exactly, this type of neural responsiveness by parents may help young children to learn.”

Perhaps the fungi network acts as the 🧠 of the Green. The psychoactive effects of some mushrooms on animals is intriguing.
Everyone is excited about mushrooms this year. A friend says it’s because they thrive amidst decay and death, making new life under the rot. I’d never noticed before this summer that the forest is half rot, half life. All the fallen trees, twisting slowly into the ground, all the mushrooms growing on the downed trees, and speckling the trunks with their Turkey Tails and Chicken of the Woods and Shelf Mushrooms. I used to think of the woods as a slowly changing place, turned by seasons, but it’s constantly in motion. If I could get closer, closer, maybe I could hear the leaves sprouting and disintegrating, the fungus spreading underground, and bark cells multiplying.
Out at Echo Lake, I notice all the birches that take root in the rotting stumps, making their homes from decay. How strong those curved roots are, how cunning to find purchase here, in what might look useless. I notice trees perched on cliffs, clinging with curled roots to the dirt, and impossibly arched trunks that reach out over rivers or other trees. My favorite is the pine tree that tilts further and further toward the lake each year but is somehow still alive.
Watch this, say the trees and mushrooms and ferns. There’s still so much living to do here.
Watch how we hang on.

Look for “Mutant 59 The Plasric Eaters”, I read it in the 70’s.
hi! i couldn't find much on the internet so i hope it's ok if i ask you. I've heard that there are now microbes that have learned to eat plastics and could prove to be very beneficial to fighting plastic pollution, but I was wondering if may be it could backfire on us? If maybe at some point they become so efficient at it that they threaten even the plastic we actually need. I don't know, may be I'm just being paranoid, but could that be a possibility somewhere in the future?
I mean that is a possibility, but I’m not a biologist. I’m not sure how likely it is.
Maybe my followers know better.

Eat the right mushrooms and you will understand the connection.
Jody Scott, the author, created my catch phrase, “Passing for Human”. Good book.
The fact that I Don’t Seem Autistic™ is mostly a sign that I’m spending way too much time and resources pretending I’m allistic so you don’t get uncomfortable. I’m not “high-functioning” or “well-adjusted”, I’m behaving. I had to go through years of abuse so you don’t get embarassed when I flap my hands in public.
Don’t use “You don’t look autistic to me.” as a compliment.
