Are you Mentally Degenrating right now?



Most people question the relation of devices and mental health. In an opinion editorial published in the New York Times, Psychology Professor Tracy Dennis Tiwary commented on the relation between the mental health of teens and Technology. She said, “Although some research does show that excessive and compulsive smartphone use is correlated with anxiety and depression, there is a lack of direct evidence that devices actually cause mental health problems”. More and More evidence is released every day proving that the ties between devices and mental progression are tight, and their consequences cannot be ignored. The latest Link was established at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, and analyzed by the University of Michigan School of Medicine in “Digital Media and Symptoms of Attention-“Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Adolescents.”
“The researchers observed 2,587 Los Angeles County high school students without symptoms of ADHD at study entry and surveyed the students five times within a two-year span. After twenty-four months, the findings showed that the frequent use of digital media may be associated with the development of ADHD among teens, but more research is needed.” Big think article writer Rebecca Muller writes. Rates of suicide are increasing more and more teens are getting hooked onto digital media; increasing their Signs Of ADHD. They are slowly becoming less attentive, more fidgety and showing more such signs of ADHD. We must limit our time on these devices before they limit our mind to knowledge.

You Could Be Your Own Twin!

You may just be your twin. How is that possible? Well, there is something known as chimerism. This is a rare case when two fertilized embryos don’t identify each other as siblings and fuse to form one foetus. In other words when one twin fuses into the other forming one baby with two kinds of genetic material. This is also known as the Vanishing Twin Syndrome. It is very likely that people don’t realise their dual DNA nature and fail to recognise themselves as chimeras. There are about 100 cases of chimerism so far however with the advancements in genetic testing chimerism may become  more and more common. Chimerism is usually discovered by chance unless the mixing of genetic material causes unusual health problems like mixed blood or ambiguous genitalia may occur if the twins were of opposite sexes. Chimeras are born with different eye colours or unusual skin markings which many chimeras falsely understand as a birthmark, failing to realise it is actually their twins gen...

Do You Have A Brilliant Memory?

You could have a brilliant memory and not know it. Nelson Dellis didn’t know he had a fantastic memory until his grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

They are currently working on the project of the extreme memory challenge to pick people from the public who have extraordinary memories to take part in further studies. But for that, they need 1 million entries but are only and 14,000 complete entries. There are 2 parts to taking the challenge and most people stop after the first. The goal is to find those with a natural good memory. People with a naturally great memory ...
