Men, Women admire beauty differently in brain

Scientists have known for a while now that men and women have slightly different brains, but they thought the changes were limited to the the part of the brain that controls sex drive and food intake. A few scientists may have admitted that men's brains were indeed bigger, but they would have tried to qualify this finding by telling you that it was because men were bigger. Because brain size has been linked with intelligence, it's very tricky to go around saying that men have bigger brains. Yet men do seem to have women beat here; even when accounting for height and weight differences, men have slightly bigger brains. Does this mean they're smarter? Let's keep going. "Differences in Male and Female Brain Structure" describes this further.

Though there are different opinions regarding whether beauty lies in mind, eyes or brain, scientists have found interesting results. Men process beauty using right part of their brain whereas women use whole brain to do the same job. It could be one of the reasons, why a beautiful photo for a man could be awful for a woman!

Uninostril breathing may increase Spatial Memory

Spatial memory deals with remembering location of things. If it is often difficult to find where you had put your keys or find address, some Yoga breathing techniques, especially, breathing through left nostril may be useful!

Scientific experiments were carried out to observe the effects of 1) breathing through left nostril, 2) breathing through right nostril, 3) breathing through alternate nostrils 4) normal breathing with awareness with both the nostrils and 5) automatic breathing. Researchers have found that Yoga breathing through a particular nostril increases spatial memory scores.

What we hear is what Mosquitoes sing!

A new research finds that mosquitoes actually sing to each other to determine mating match. According to researchers, a female mosquito could use the harmonic matching as a fitness measure while selecting a male.

Scientists hope to use this information to control the population of disease spreading mosquitoes and match the buzz of mating mosquitoes to try and curb disease spread.

What would you do, if you hear them today (14th Feb)? :-)
