Sense of Adventure (6-23-08)

Scientists from the Wellcome Trust at University College London have determined that there is a center in the human brain that encourages people to be adventurous. As the related press release states, “The region, located in a primitive area of the brain, is activated when we choose unfamiliar options, suggesting an evolutionary advantage for sampling the unknown.”
