A Cambridge-based biomedical unit probing autism’s causes
An 11‑year‑old girl has been found dead in the Gore Water at Gore Glen Woodland Park near Gorebridge after a search on Thursday, 6 August. Police Scotland has said the death is being treated as unexplained and inquiries are ongoing; a post‑mortem has been scheduled and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
A Cambridge study finds that newborn girls spend more time watching a human face than boys do when shown side-by-side with a toy. The difference is present in infants aged eight hours to three days, suggesting biology and prenatal hormones may influence early attention patterns, though researchers caution the results don’t predict long-term development.
