CANDY ON THE BRAIN!!

The next time you find yourself craving a sweet, irresistible piece of candy in someone else’s hands, remember this: You can’t help it. Your brain is built to covet.

In a new study, French scientists identified which parts of the brain play a part in this kind of craving. Their findings may help explain why an object seems more appealing when it belongs to someone else.

The researchers traced the thought of wanting someone else’s stuff to the mirror neuron system in the brain. Neurons are cells that transmit information inside the brain and to the rest of the body. Mirror neurons become active when a person does something, or when a person sees someone else perform an action. These cells help a person learn new things. An infant sticks out her tongue after she sees her parents do it, thanks to her mirror neurons. They also help explain why yawns spread from person to person.

ANCIENT VOLCANOES DESTROYED THE OZONE

Geoscientists have exposed another assault on Earth’s protective ozone layer  not by manufactured chemicals, but by gas ejected in the blasts of huge volcanic eruptions.A new study shows that volcanic rocks in Nicaragua contain bromine, an element known for speeding ozone’s destruction in the upper atmosphere. When magma erupted to form those rocks, scientists say, it also released huge amounts of bromine into the air enough to destroy large parts of the ozone layer for several years.
