When cultured in a dish, neural stem cells can form three-dimensional clusters known as neurospheres, allowing researchers to investigate the stem cell-like properties of these neurons.

I would enjoy more individuals to converse with. About the point of existence, new music, what’s bugging me or you, meditation.. whatever. Who wants to shoot the breeze?

Crying is often the result of feelings of sadness and frustration, but after crying many people experience a feeling of release and catharsis. Humans are the only species that shed tears emotionally. Perhaps crying developed evolutionarily for a non-physiological reason. “Attachment Theory” suggests that crying is a behavior that is natural to humans from birth. As an infant, babies learn that crying will result in comforting, which creates a relationship bond. This behavior is continued to create attachments in life.
Dr. Oren Hasson, a professor at Tel Aviv University, recently conducted a study in which he studied different types of crying and the benefits of crying. When you cry, you show vulnerability because your vision is blurred. This allows someone who cares about you to take care of you while you are in a weakened state. According to Hasson, this is beneficial to both the caretaker and receiver because it creates a stronger relationship bond. This means that a positive comes out of the negative situation which caused the crying in the first place.

I find it so surreal how many people walk in and out of your life. I mean, you may never see your first grade elementary school teacher ever again, or the european tour guide that you travelled with for ten days, but you will always be connected by the experiences you once shared. As you develop and embark down new paths, there is the likely possibility of never seeing those same people who may have been an integral part of your “journey” at some point in your life. This is why our existence is so mesmerizing to me, because people enter and exit your life constantly, and with each relationship you form in the past (regardless if it lasts for days, weeks, or years) comes a puzzle piece that is carried away with you, ultimately adding to your being as a whole.
THIS.

This is less than 2 minutes long. So much amazing, truthful information is presented in such a short time.
If you haven’t heard much of any of this before, it might be difficult to take in everything he says & process it correctly before the next set of info is spoken.. But I’m sure you could keep up if you wanted to ;)
