🧬🧠 Jo Cameron did not realize her lack of pain was unusual until she was 65 years old.

Scientists discovered she has a mutation in the FAAH-OUT gene that also speeds up her wound healing and eliminates fear. The case may provide researchers with a roadmap for developing new non-addictive pain medications and #anxiety treatments.

While voluntary laughter is a controlled social tool, involuntary laughter is triggered by the amygdala and releases feel-good chemicals called endogenous #opioids – which explains why we are 30x more likely to laugh in a group than when we are alone.

Genius 10 Year Old's Research Shocks Scientists Around the World

youtube.com/watch?v=nhESxrqPjf…

At just 10 years old, Jo Nagai conducted an experiment that would surprise scientists around the world.

By raising and training swallowtail caterpillars at home, Jo demonstrated that butterflies can retain memories formed during their larval stage, even after undergoing complete metamorphosis. But what he discovered next was even more unexpected: those learned responses appeared to persist to the next generation.

This video explores Jo’s experiment, the scientific ideas behind it, and the simple question that started it all.
