Scientists find optimism area in brain
Scientists find optimism area in brain
A person's optimism in the future seems to be controlled by a small front part of the mid-brain.

In a related story scientists give up on finding pessimism part of brain... what's the point... (sigh) picked by proverb 2 years ago

Interesting!

I'm a bit stunned by their way of rating optimism/pessimism, though:
When researchers asked the subjects to think about 80 different future events that could be good, bad or neutral, they had a hard time getting people to think negatively, or even neutrally, about the future. For example, when people were asked to ponder a future haircut, they imagined getting the best haircut of their lives, instead of just an ordinary trim, Phelps said.
If the best thing you can think of in the future is the "best haircut of your life", then you must be seriously pessimistic!
