Recent neuroscience studies reveal that memory is an active, adaptable system influenced by emotion, attention, and bodily processes, with findings showing how emotional arousal can blur memories, repetition strengthens emotional memories via the amygdala, chewing may boost memory through antioxidants, stress can distort and generalize memories, non-neural cells can 'remember' stimuli, long-term memory stability involves molecular mechanisms, and attention is only influenced by memory when actively engaged.

A woman claiming to be the winner of the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot was seen at the California convenience store where the ticket was sold, overcome with emotion and unable to speak. She hugged people and collapsed on her knees in tears before driving off in a BMW. The store owner initially thought it was fake, but his daughters believe the woman is the daughter of a customer who bought the ticket. The formal process to officially identify the winner will take longer, according to the California Lottery. The store owner will receive a $1 million bonus for selling the ticket.

A new study conducted by neuroscientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Lausanne University Hospital, and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland found that most humans prefer hearing out of their left ear over the right one. The left ear drives information to the right hemisphere of the auditory cortex first, better allowing us to process emotion. The study is a major step forward for how further studies will be conducted to better understand how we as humans input information.

Neuroscientists have discovered that positive human sounds, like laughter, trigger stronger neural activity in the brain's auditory system when they are heard from the left-hand side, suggesting the human auditory cortex is specially tuned to the direction of sounds that make us happy. The left ear can more easily identify the emotional tone in someone's voice, hinting at some underlying specialization. The study suggests that heightened sensitivity to certain noises coming from certain directions makes broad evolutionary sense, but a left-handed bias to the emotion in human voices is not so easily explained.

Music engages multiple areas of the brain, including the auditory cortex, prefrontal cortex, motor cortex, and hippocampus, making it an excellent exercise for the mind. It triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, and has a unique link to our memories due to the strong connection between music and the hippocampus. Music therapy has shown promise in treating a variety of conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, depression, and stroke, by leveraging the emotional, cognitive, and motor stimulation that music provides.

At Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Warren Buffett advised investors to remove emotion from their decision-making process when it comes to business and investing. This strategy has worked for Berkshire Hathaway over the years, as the conglomerate has outperformed the S&P 500 from 1965 to 2022. Buffett's signature value-oriented investment philosophy consists of buying and holding a core set of quality companies over long periods of time. Fellow value investor Jonathan Boyar emphasized the importance of analyzing a business's quality and valuation. Buffett's longtime business partner, Charlie Munger, agreed with Buffett on removing emotion from the decision-making process, but noted that it may be more challenging for value investors going forward.

Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who died last week, was a master of conjuring layered emotion in his film scores. His music explored the intersection of beauty and terror, and the way a soul can survive even as a body falters. Sakamoto's scores were interested in the liminal spaces where words falter but emotions thrum, and his music has continued to score those spaces in the lives of his listeners.
