☆ Humans have pumped so much groundwater from the Earth that it's actually caused the planet's axis to shift, a new study found
  + stars: | 2023-07-16 | by ( Carla Delgado | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The reason is that we're moving all that water mass from under the continents to the oceans. How groundwater depletion affects Earth's rotational poleThe Earth's rotational pole normally changes and wanders by about several meters each year. To put it simply, groundwater depletion contributes to sea level rise because water is being transferred from the continents to the oceans. The recent study found that groundwater depletion caused a 6.24-millimeter rise in global sea level from 1993 to 2010. This is significant because each millimeter rise in sea level is said to make the shoreline retreat an average of 1.5 meters.

☆ Why doctors used to think drilling into people's skulls could treat mental illness
  + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Carla Delgado | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Lobotomies used to be a horrific way that doctors tried to treat patients with mental illness. Different doctors performed lobotomies differently, but one of the primary approaches was to drill a hole in the side of the skull to access the brain. Doctors thought that severing certain connections in the brain could help treat mental illness. By the 1950s, lobotomies were on their way out, but not before doctors performed over 40,000 of them in the US alone. A drill, shown on the right, is cranked by hand to help doctors access the patient's brain.

☆ Sleep experts explain why your dreams are so vivid that you remember them long after waking up
  + stars: | 2023-02-19 | by ( Carla Delgado | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The most vivid dreams typically occur during rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. A typical sleep cycle lasts about 90 to 110 minutes and transitions between two primary stages: non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. Why your dreams are so vivid and sometimes disturbingYou're more likely to remember dreams closer to waking up. Therefore, we're more likely to remember dreams closer to waking up compared to right after falling asleep. Moreover, "we are more likely to remember dreams if … they are upsetting or if we consciously try to remember them," Mundt added.
