One of the final recommendations of a recent science conference co-organized by Bora was to increase the flow of communication between bloggers and high-school students and teachers. Separately, Jeff, a high-school psychology teacher, sent us some essays by his students. We were amazed at their level, and in fact published one: “Tis better to give than receive”: oxytocin and dopamine. [...] [...] Why is this happening?

I liked the description that Oxytocin is a “cuddle” neurotransmitter. Keep in mind that we can give non-material things that can be just as meaningful - hugs, a smile, an act of kindness. That said, when you’re on the receiving end, accept the gift graciously because for some of us, the lesson we are learning is to accept what is given to us.

With so many high school students taking psychology, and with the number of AP Psychology tests taken soaring in the past several years, let’s hope we see more essays like Alexandra’s. Alvaro also highlights two other recent articles; one on the efficacy of brain games and the other on the use of exercise to fight dementia. Alvaro’s blog takes the lead in relating basic science in neural plasticity to applied domains that may benefit you!
