| Our Brains Lie To Us
|
|

The brain does not simply gather and stockpile information as a
computer's hard drive does. Facts are stored first in the hippocampus,
a structure deep in the brain about the size and shape of a fat man's
curled pinkie finger. But the information does not rest there. Every
time we recall it, our brain writes it down again, and during this
re-storage, it is also reprocessed. In time, the fact is gradually
transferred to the cerebral cortex and is separated from the context in
which it was originally learned.

Is there such a thing as a "gay brain"? And, if so, are some people
born with brains that make them more likely to be homosexual? Or do the
brains of gay people develop differently in response to experiences? Those are some of the thorny questions that have been raised by a
provocative new study that found striking differences between the
brains of homosexuals and heterosexuals in both men and women.

| Older Brain Really May Be A Wiser Brain
|
|

When older people can no longer remember names at a cocktail party,
they tend to think that their brainpower is declining. But a growing
number of studies suggest that this assumption is often wrong. Instead, the research finds, the aging brain is simply taking in more
data and trying to sift through a clutter of information, often to its
long-term benefit.

| Space Euphoria

In February, 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell experienced the
little understood phenomenon sometimes called the “Overview Effect”. He
describes being completely engulfed by a profound sense of universal
connectedness. Without warning, he says, a feeing of bliss,
timelessness, and connectedness began to overwhelm him. He describes
becoming instantly and profoundly aware that each of his constituent
atoms were connected to the fragile planet he saw in the window and to
every other atom in the Universe. He described experiencing an intense
awareness that Earth, with its humans, other animal species, and
systems were all one synergistic whole. He says the feeling that rushed
over him was a sense of interconnected euphoria. He was not the first
-- nor the last -- to experience this strange “cosmic connection”.
