The psychology of popular characters: Breaking bad's Walter White
Breaking Bad, one of the most critically acclaimed television series of all time, offers a fascinating look into the transformation of its main character, Walter White. Over five seasons, viewers witness Walter’s descent from a mild-mannered chemistry teacher to a ruthless drug kingpin. His complex journey is not just a gripping narrative but also a rich case study in behavioral science.
Walter White’s transformation in Breaking Bad is a compelling example of how psychological concepts like cognitive dissonance and moral disengagement can drive significant changes in behavior. By understanding these mechanisms, we can gain deeper insights into human behavior and the factors that influence our actions. Whether in fiction or real life, these psychological principles remind us of the importance of self-awareness, ethical decision-making, and the powerful influence of circumstance and environment.

Pupil Dynamics During Sleep Reveal Brain’s Memory-Saving Secrets
Researchers have discovered that pupil size during non-REM sleep correlates with memory consolidation. When pupils contract, the brain focuses on consolidating new memories; when dilated, it processes older ones.
This separation prevents “catastrophic forgetting,” allowing the brain to efficiently manage both new and existing knowledge. These findings could lead to better memory enhancement techniques for humans and inspire more efficient artificial neural networks.

🔸 اگر زندگی مان از فعالیت هایی که از آن ها لذت می بریم تهی شود، دچار افسردگی خواهیم شد. باید بخشی از زمان خود را به انجام فعالیت های سالم که باعث ایجاد حس نشاط در ما می شود، صرف کنیم. مطالعات نشان داده افرادی که زندگی‌شان از فعالیت های پرنشاط خالی می شود به افسردگی دچار می شوند و یا به مواد مخدر روی می آورند.
🔸از چه فعالیت هایی در زندگی واقعا لذت می برید؟
🔸چه میزان از وقت خود را به انجام آنها سپری می کنید؟

How the Brain Adapts to New Sensory Contexts
New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb. Scientists trained mice to associate rewards with specific sounds and smells, then switched the rules to test their adaptability. Expert mice quickly adjusted their responses, suggesting that the brain rapidly updates sensory associations.
The study found that top-down signals from the olfactory cortex help assign reward values to both smells and sounds. This unexpected cross-modal integration challenges traditional views of sensory processing. Future research aims to uncover how these feedback loops incorporate other senses like sight and touch.

Terahertz Light Unlocks a New Era in Smarter, Faster Memory Chips
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and MIT have achieved a groundbreaking feat — creating a stable, long-lasting magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material using only light. This discovery could lead to major advancements in memory chip technology and information processing.
By using a terahertz laser, which oscillates more than a trillion times per second, the researchers were able to directly excite the material’s atoms. They carefully tuned the laser’s frequency to match the natural vibrations of the atoms, triggering an ultrafast shift in the atomic structure and pushing the material into a new magnetic state. Their findings, recently published in Nature, highlight the potential of light to control magnetism in innovative ways.
