Whether you’re a night owl or a morning person, your sleep habits reveal a lot about you–from your personality to the structure of your brain and even to your expected time of death.
That’s according to a new video from the YouTube video series ASAPScience, which explains the pros and cons of each sleeping preference.
“Early birds tend to display more positive social traits, such as being proactive and optimistic, and are less prone to depression or addictions to nicotine, alcohol, and food,” Mitchell Moffit, co-creator of the series, says in the video. “Night owls exhibit significantly less white matter [in their brains], and as a result, there are fewer pathways for feel-good hormones such as serotonin or dopamine to travel through, but it’s not all bad for the late-nighters. In fact, they tend to be much more creative, have been found to have higher cognitive abilities, and are known to be risk-takers.”

If 2012 was the year neuroscience exploded into pop culture, 2013 was the year it stepped into the halls of power.
.
The Obama administration’s $100-million BRAIN Initiative stirred up furious debate, as proponents cheered to see so much funding and press attention thrown at large-scale efforts to map the human brain, while opponents claimed that the whole thing might be a gigantic waste of valuable resources. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the European Union’s Human Brain Project sparked similar disputes – disputes that continue even as unexpected breakthroughs have begun to surface.

Physicist Michio Kaku isn’t afraid of scientific frontiers, whether it’s the super-subatomic world of string theory or the mind-bogglingly big world of the accelerating universe. In books and on TV, he’s delved into the physics of the impossible and the physics of the future.
.
Kaku’s latest focus is a real stretch: It’s the scientific frontier that sits between your temples. In his latest book, “The Future of the Mind,” Kaku surveys the burgeoning field of neuroscience. You might think the subject is out of a string theorist’s usual comfort zone, but his breezy, science-fictiony style wins the day. “The Future of the Mind” has been on The New York Times’ best-seller list for the past month.

As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can’t remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance’s name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain fades, we euphemistically refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.”
