Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI
28、 machine.Being efficient at mind-wandering means you can zone out and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step.

33、ing Dogs Lie.” It means not bringing up an old problem. Researchers in Hungary have found another reason to let dogs keep on sleeping. It seems the animals are learning while they sleep.The Hungarian researchers placed tools on the dogs heads to know about electrical activity in the brain. The brain
34、 activity, called sleep spindles(梭状波), takes place in human beings, and has been connected with learning.

37、into one bowl, then in another and in another, they get lost after a while. So their performance is going down, and they are getting poor in solving new problems.”Researchers hope the study will not only help understanding of learning ability and memory changes in dogs, but also the aging of humans.
38、 Senior Researcher EnikoKubinyi adds that the aging dogs suffer from the same problems as humans who are aging. “Among very old dogs, up to two thirds of them show signs of dementia(痴呆), and this dementia is really very similar to that of humans, so we could use dog as a natural model of human aging
