Did you know these curiosities?
1. Our left side of the face is more expressive than the right side.
2. Our right brain hemisphere is more related to emotional and left processing with language.
When a person turns 60, it can be said that he has been sleeping for about 20 years.
4. La nature produces women by default, that is, automatically. When male hormones come into play, the fetus develops male characteristics.
5. There is a gene (the clock gene) that is different in people who wake up early and in people at night, so it’s not a matter of mania, but it seems that we have different genetic predispositions to be more active at night or in the morning.
6. Pheromones influence our sexuality. Different effects are observed in mammals:
? Lee Boot effect: consists of the occasional decrease or disappearance of the estral cycle (the menstrual cycle in animals) when females live together.
? Whitten Effect: Women’s menstrual cycles synchronised due to their closeness for a long time, i. e. if you live with a woman or spend a lot of time with a woman, your ovulations are likely to occur almost simultaneously.
? Vanderberg effect: puberty or adolescence occurs earlier when women live with men.
7. There is a condition known as fatal family insomnia, it is hereditary and suddenly people affected by the disease cannot sleep, they die between 7 and 24 months after the onset of the disease.
8. No learn them in our sleep. Not even unconsciously, contrary to popular belief. Sleep is only for body recovery.
9. We all have hallucinations at some point or are susceptible to them, for example in sensory deprivation conditions (such as driving on a monotonous road, you are in the midst of intense silence and you seem to hear a voice). In addition, it may happen that when we wake up it may seem that we hear a sound that does not exist (hypnomic hallucinations) or that something happened just when we fall asleep (hypnagic hallucinations).
10. Seeing faces or shapes between clouds or fire has a name: pareidolia. This phenomenon corresponds to the tendency of the human being to organize the things he sees in stimuli that make sense. In fact, there is a theory that humans have acquired this skill. distinguish faces between leaves and fend off their predators.
11.

13. Freud was addicted to cocaine and prescribed it to his entire family, friends and patients.
14. Disorders such as schizophrenia occur less frequently in people living in the countryside than in people living in cities. Does stress seem to be something worth seeing?
15. La depression affects women more. This may be because greater emotional expressiveness of women is allowed, because there is some form of genetic association in female chromosomes for this type of disease or because other problems such as alcoholism and addiction mask depression in men (it seems that in populations where alcohol consumption is not allowed, such as amish , the trend is that the levels of depression between men and women are the same).
16. La most depressing season of the year is winter, which is believed to be due to lower sun exposure.
17. However, summer is the time when most manic states occur. This point and precedent seem less obvious depending on the latitude in which people are located; therefore, people closest to the equator suffer less from this type of problem.
18. Es it is possible that when we sleep there will be micro-waste in which we change posture.
19. The weight of an adult brain usually ranges from 1200 to 1400 grams.
20. From the age of 30, our brain begins to gradually lose mass, which may partly explain why we have lost memory over the years.
