12、nt, too-your mate will be much happier if youre spreading your anxieties beyond his or her cars and you will also feel better.In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality cons

14、y duties; and openness to experience, or how much youre into discovering new things, whether theyre ideas, people, or places.For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their li

15、fe overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didnt have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower

16、 satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version, and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, its a

A synapse is the area where cells pass messages to other cells.Cirelli is a leading scientist at the schools Center for Sleep

However, the brain forgets unimportant details. This forgetting is important. It makes space for new learning and new memories.Cirelli said that the

However, testing and discovering how it works has been extremely difficult. Cirelli and Center director Giulio Tononi have been trying to prove the c

Synapses are only about 20-40 nanometers wide. So, the team looked for changes in these already tiny spaces between nerve cells. The team had lo wail
