THE GOOD OLD DAYS WEREN’T ALL THAT GOOD AFTER ALL

Scientists have discovered why old people always go on and on about the good old days. It seems that as you age the brain allows negative memories to fade away creating a distorted impression of how great life was when you were younger. The authors of this study concluded that the brains of the elderly filter out negative information in order to maintain a positive emotional state as they age. (The Telegraph)
