A lovely view near our home in San Luis Obispo in California
Here is what I am reading today:
“As people grow older, sad films seem sadder.
In a recent study, people in their sixties felt sadder than people in their twenties did after viewing an emotionally distressing scene from a movie. This heightened emotional response to sorrow may reflect a greater compassion for other people and may strengthen social bonds, researchers propose.”
“People who smoke pot can feel lost in time—for some, it’s part of the draw. Now researchers may have figured out one reason why cannabinoids, the psychoactive compounds in marijuana and hashish, make people feel this way; they disrupt the body’s internal clock.”
“…They found that dogs with shorter snouts had brains which were rotated forwards by up to 15 degrees. They also found that the olfactory lobe at the front of the brain, which processes the sense of smell, was shunted downwards.”
