Well, duh — life experiences up to middle age make a difference in establishing psychological baselines for anxiety and depression in a (tiny ?) sample of identical twins 0

Perhaps trivial evidence for what common sense already thought it knew Even with near-identical genetics (insofar as we can eliminate pre-existing epigenetic variances), life experience matters in regard to establishing habitual outlooks: Our life experiences – the ups and downs, and everything in between – shape us, stay with us and influence our emotional set [...]

Jha reported that: The brains of people living in cities operate differently from those in rural areas, according to [...]

Memory’s scene-like summaries may synopsize spiritual meanings by leaving the stress-of-living’s dross behind 0

Like most people (I would guess), I have recollections of the past that are synopsized into one picture and its associated emotion. Always positive, if wistful. Emotional connections, but lacking detail. As if the memory has wrestled the meaning out of the past and left the dross behind. These synoptic memories lack the stresses [...]
