'Pat the Bunny' Gets Zombie Makeover

Study: Mom's Voice Has Unique Effect on Baby's Brain
By Hugh Collins - AOL News(Dec. 16) -- There's nothing like a mother's voice. New research from the University of Montreal shows that a newborn's brain responds differently to its mother's voice than to the voices of others. The mother's voice can spark activity in the parts of the brain responsible for learning language. When the child hears others speak, the reactions can be very different. "This is exciting research that proves for the first time that the newborn's brain responds strongly to the mother's voice and shows, scientifically speaking, that the mother's voice is special to babies," said lead researcher ...

Birth, 2.0: Many Babies Born Online Before Real Life
By Dave Thier - AOL News(Oct. 7) -- In Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher's "The Social Network," a cocaine-addled Sean Parker, played by Justin Timberlake, rattles off a vision of the future that, depending on your point of view, is either dystopia or utopia.
