A6 NEWS Wallowa County Chieftain Wednesday, December 25, 2019 Joseph Charter school performs Christmas concert JCS 6th grade performs ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Steve Tool/Chieftain Members of Jill Hite’s sixth-grade class pose proudly after a play performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” The class performed the play several times as part of a fundraiser for its fi eld trip later in the school year. With very little help from adults, the class produced the play and raised more than $500 for their fi eld trip. Mothers’ and babies’ brains can work together as a ‘mega-network’ University of Cambridge Ellen Morris Bishop TOP Michelle Homan directs the Joseph Charter School K-3 singers at the Christmas concert last week. The kids performed classical melodies and contemporary holiday songs that left them smiling and their audience, mostly parents and family members, enthused. LEFT The heartwarming K-3 concert at Joseph Charter School included some animated songs, including one about the Grinch that Stole Christmas. The singers obviously had fun acting out the words and message of the songs. RIGHT The Grinch song and others inspired some acting and animation, which the performers seemed happy to provide. Mothers’ and babies’ brains can work together as a ‘mega-network’ by syn- chronising brain waves when they interact. The level of connectivity of the brain waves varies accord- ing to the mother’s emotional state: when mothers express more positive emotions their brain becomes much more strongly connected with their baby’s brain. This may help the baby to learn and its brain to develop. The research, published in the journal NeuroIm- age, used a method called dual electroencephalograhy (EEG) to look at brain signals T HE B OOKLOFT AND Skylight Gallery Finding books is our specialty 541.426.3351 • 107 E.

They found that mothers and babies tend to synchronise their brain waves in the frequency of 6-9 hertz, the infant alpha range. Mothers and babies tend to spend a lot of time together in a positive emotional state, in which their brains are very connected. The study found that positive interaction, with lots of eye contact, enhances the ability of mother and infant brains to operate as a single system. This promotes effi cient sharing and fl ow of information between mother and infant. “From our previous work, we know that when the neural connection between mothers and babies is strong, babies are more receptive and ready to learn from their mothers,” said Dr Vicky Leong in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Psychology, who led the study. “At this stage of life, the baby brain has the ability to change sig- nifi cantly, and these changes are driven by the baby’s experiences. By using a pos- itive emotional tone during social interactions, parents can connect better with their infants, and stimulate devel- opment of their baby’s men- tal capacity.” The results also sug- gest that babies of depressed mothers may show less evi- dence of learning because of a weakened neural con- nection between mother and infant. Mothers who expe- rience a persistently low or negative mental state due to clinical depression tend to have less interaction with their baby. Their speech is often fl atter in tone, they make much less eye contact, and they are less likely to respond when their baby tries to get their attention. “Our emotions literally change the way that our brains share information with others — positive emotions help us to communicate in a much more effi cient way,” said Dr Leong. “Depres- sion can have a powerfully negative effect on a parent’s ability to establish connec- tions with their baby. All the social cues that normally fos- ter connection are less read- ily available to the child, so the child doesn’t receive the optimal emotional input it needs to thrive.” ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY SALE!
