Life without a left hemisphere in the brain can be complicated, but for Helen Santoro she’s never encountered any obstacles in her life or career. It’s a miracle, to say the least, but one can add Helen to the roll of folks living ‘normal’ lives despite a seeming handicap demonstrating the resiliency and plasticity of human brains.

As the adage goes the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach yet Professor Carmit Levy and pals Uncovered A Surprising Connection Between Apetite And Sun Exposure and how sunshine tricks male bodies into reacting like it’s the first day of spring every day. Which makes us wonder how this effect conflates with the TikTok fad of perineum sunning. For our next trick, we learned from Beth Ellwood how Magicians Unconsciously Blink Their Eyes To Manipulate The Audience During Difficult Tricks which is odd since Samantha on Bewitched only had to twitch her nose.
