Summer brings bigger brains
A 15-year study has revealed that portions of our brains grow larger during the warm summer months. Scientists theorize barometric pressure (the pressure within Earth's atmosphere) impacts blood flow to the brain and is responsible for changes in its size. Interestingly, sales of headache medicines spike during periods of low barometric pressure.
My mom can relate. Low-pressure systems give her headaches, brain fog, and visual floaters like she has low blood sugar.
