This is your brain on dreams
Did you know that our brains function differently when dreaming? By using fMRI, scientists are now shedding more light on the areas of our brains activated during dreams. After hundreds of years where dreams were interpreted based on religious beliefs or psychosis it appears that the region of the brain used to understand the world around us simply switches off when we are asleep. This is why our dreams differ so greatly from waking life. Learn about it here.

Your brain cells change to manage noise levels
