How do walkie talkies work?
Q: Do you copy?
It means, can you hear me clearly and understand what I said as you start a conversation.
Joy Overload! The science of tickles and cuteness
Q: Why do we laugh when we're tickled?
Laughter is tied to the brain's processing of touch and the activation of pleasure centers, particularly the anterior cingulate gyrus, which signals a rewarding or non-threatening stimulus even though tickling is surprising.
Why are brains so squishy?
Q: Can you encourage your brain to grow more connections?
Yes, through learning new topics, practicing new skills, being active, and continually challenging the brain to form new neural connections.
Why are brains so squishy?
Q: What does sleep do for the brain?
Sleep helps the brain rest and process the information from the day, making it easier to recall later and organize memories.
Why are brains so squishy?
Q: Can you explain why it's important to protect our brains with a helmet?
Helmets provide an extra layer of protection beyond the natural skull, especially during fast activities like biking or hockey, to reduce the impact and protect brain tissue.
