Great question. We did not examine the long-term outcomes of the animals. I did determine that a single exposure was insufficient to induce a long-lasting change. Young animals all exhibited long-term changes after a week of daily exposure, but only 50% of adults.

Here is my free book. It is about the cognitive neuroscience of filmmaking and acting and formed the bulk of my masters degree submission. It would be wonderful to hear what you think.

A relief of Dionysus, discovered in 1907 in a shipwreck off the coast of Mahdia, ancient Aphrodisium, in Tunisia. Archaeologists believe the ship was sunk in the 1st century BC, and its cargo, which contains other important statues, may have been stolen during the sack of Athens by Sulla in 86BC. 🏺

📅 Philosophy Week is here! 🌟 Why does it matter? Because philosophy isn’t just theory; it’s a practical tool to better understand ourselves, question reality, and find solutions. It’s the art of critical thinking—a must in today’s complex world. #PhilosophyWeek

Occam's Razor is the principle that the simplest explanation is often the correct one. It reminds us to avoid unnecessary assumptions when seeking the truth, but real-life complexities often challenge this idea. How simple is "too simple"? #Contradiction #Curiosity #Truth

Want to build a new habit? Tap into procedural memory: visualize each step clearly. Example: 'Put on running shoes, step outside, turn on the coffee maker, start jogging.' This simple practice can significantly improve your success. #Habits #MentalHealth #Neuroscience

Habit formation relies on neuroplasticity. With every repetition, small changes happen in our brains, solidifying the behavior. Repeat, stay consistent, and transform your life! #Productivity #Neuroscience #Neuroplasticity

Did you know 70% of our daily actions are habits?
Habit formation isn't fixed—It takes 18–254 days to form one.

A mindful, neuroscience-based approach can help boost productivity and well-being.

Key: repetition and conscious effort to help your brain adapt.

MEMENTO MORI comes from Latin and means “remember you will die” or “remember you are mortal.” It invites reflection on the inevitability of death and requests us to live each day as if it were our last, embracing it with intensity and cherishing all the treasures life has to offer. #stoicism

William of Ockham, states that the simplest explanation is usually the most accurate. He put it: “Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate.” In other words, we should look for truth by stripping away the excess baggage and simplifying things until we are left with nothing but proven facts.
