Cleaning and organizing home/life and effects on brain
I noticed the other day, that after cleaning dishes between batches of work, I felt strangely refreshed and was able to go back to work in a more relaxed state, feeling internally organized.

I'd be pleased to hear even your personal opinion if there are no significant studies yet.
Episode on brain anatomy, concepts on screen and timecode
You often make a fast reference to brain anatomy parts and molecules names, suggesting it is not important to know them. But maybe some wants to know/learn them ! So.... 1/ could this words/concepts be printed on your video when you use the words / concepts so they are more easy to memorize and understand ? 2/ could an episode be specific on the brain anatomy with showing the different places you talk about ? 3/ could in the top/right side of the video the timecode be added, so we can create an index of the scientific words / concepts and the timestamp of the video/podcast you mention it can be made ? Thanks your interest in science 😉
