Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, surely has no frozen water, right? Guess again: Solar winds form ice • The Register
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/03/17/water_mercury_ice/
❄ Here’s how they form: charged particles from the solar winds bombard the soil on Mercury’s surface. When a proton (H+) smashes into molecules containing hydroxyl groups (OH), it kicks off a chemical reaction to form water (H2O).

These water molecules rise above the surface. Sometimes they don’t survive and break apart under the sunlight. But in some cases, they float around and land in the shadows of #Mercury’s craters.

These nooks and crannies receive little light and are kept at -200 degrees Celsius. Over time, the water molecules that settle here freeze and turn into ice.

One of Darwin's evolution theories finally proved by Cambridge researcher | EurekAlert! Science News

Laura van Holstein, a PhD student in Biological Anthropology at St John's College, University of Cambridge, and lead author of the research published today (March 18) in ‘Proceedings of the Royal Society’, discovered mammal subspecies play a more important role in evolution than previously thought.

🧠 The emotion is executed by the autonomic nervous system in large part — not exclusively but in large part. And that in turn, the body-experience influences our emotions.

🧠 Under normal circumstances memories are made primarily about emotional events.
So, emotion is a great facilitator of memory formation.

🧠 So, every time we remember something, we actually make that memory again. We make the initial memory and then we reconsolidate that memory.

🧠 So, using just that information you can now understand why now some health professionals are treating post traumatic stress disorder by exposing individuals with #PTSD to a trigger in the presence of a beta blocker.

🧠 The beta blocker is preventing the sympathetic arousal, preventing the heart rate increase, and preventing the blood pressure increase.

🧠 So now, you've triggered a memory. But the person can't get all worked up about it — their body is unresponsive. We pharmacologically prevented that arousal.
And consequently now, when they remember it, they reconsolidate it without all that body memory.
