Although the researchers did not examine the details of the strategies people in the study employed to mentally push out certain thoughts, researchers have previously suggested two main strategies that might help in this process, Manning said. "If you don't want to think of the color blue, you think of green things instead, or red," Manning told Live Science.

The researchers found that new mothers in the study who had very high levels of folate in their blood (greater than 59 nanomoles per liter) shortly after giving birth were twice as likely to have a child who developed an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)than new mothers who had normal levels (less than 59 nm/L) of this vitamin, according to the study. The findings will be presented Friday (May 13)at the 2016 International Meeting for Autism Research in Baltimore.

Snows in Arctic Russia now melt earlier in spring and many red knot chicks hatch too late for the annual peak of insect food spurred by the thaw, according to their report on Thursday, one of the first to link the impact of warming to a single species. Eighty percent of the birds born in Russia with long beaks survived to adulthood against just 40 percent of the short-beaked red knots, which end up eating roots of sea grasses in Africa that are less nutritious than shellfish, the study found.
