Sneezing at the sun

From the consequential to the less so...

About a quarter of humanity will sneeze after being in the dark and then being exposed to the sun. Why we do this has yet to be understood, and, really, hasn't had much investigation, for understandable reasons. In this week's PLOS One, investigators from Switzerland tried to figure this out. In a simple experiment, they took ten known 'photic sneezers' and matched them by age and sex with non-photic sneezers. They then showed them a checkerboard display or a bright photic stimulus, and measured their electroencephalogram patterns.

Their findings? Photic sneezers, when exposed to a bright stimulus, had increased excitability of the visual cortex, not in the brainstem or lower centers of the brain, meaning that higher brain controls are responsible for this, not reflexive controls. Why some people photic sneeze and others don't and what this means in terms of neural pathways, remains unclear. Most importantly of all, however, I just learned that there is a proposed ACHOO acronym, meaning Autosomal Cholinergic Helio-Ophtalmologic Outburst, signifying the powers of acryonyms to confuse people even more.

  4. I never knew people still have powers and make things happened this way. My name is Joy Samson . from USA. Before giving birth, my Husband left me for another woman for three months, ever since then my life was filled with pains and sorrow because he was the best thing that can ever happen to me in this world and I can’t imagine my child growing up without a father, this world became one cruel place for me as at that time. About two weeks ago, a friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of this great Dr ADAGBA that he can bring back lover within 48 hours, I laughed over it and said I am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she convinced me to make contact with Dr ADAGBA OF dagbaspiritualtemple@gmail.com or adagbaspiritualtemple@yahoo.com, after all I had nothing to lose. The moment Dr ADAGBA replied my message, although I was doubtful because of i have not done this before but I felt hope. I got a call from my husband 2 days after contacting Dr ADAGBA, my husband wanted to come back home and he was filled with regrets for leaving me and the child. Surprisingly, that was his first call for over 9 months and he was all sorry and kept apologizing. I was filled with joy and happy heart. I still can't believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable it’s just too real to be true but that’s it. Thank you Dr for bringing back my lover.

  7. Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR Aba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on ( dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com ) or you can whatsApp his mobile number on +2348107155060

  8. I was hurt and heart broken when a very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my husband . so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce. he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the Email address of the spell caster whom he visited. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day. What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me, and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and our children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of Dr. gbojie. So, i will advice you out there if you have any problem contact him, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.. Email him at: gbojiespiritualtemple@gmail.com,or call +2349057916767 Thank you sooooo much!!!

  11. It took almost one year for my first real outbreak but it was the hardest thing in the world to get along with. I felt so unwanted and dirty. I tried many formulas, suggestions, methods to get rid of it permanently. Booked appointment with many doctors, professionals, even religiously until I started getting away spiritually and still it won't go. The worst is my outbreaks occurs within short period and take as long as even weeks to go away. I was at last placed on antiviral treatment which is a good treatment but for how long? I prayed every four times a day for God to cure me miraculously or direct me to cure because I know there is. During outbreaks I thought it's the end of the world but it's not, with time I will become normal again. I started trying fruits and herbs, take herbal produced, and with time became very interested in herbs. I read blogs, websites, and comments on herbs and built a stronger hope. I saw comments and decided to try Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal meds. I know of one mr Brown who was HIV and now brags he was cured of HIV with Dr Utu traditional meds but never give it a thought because I believed HIV already has a cure and never think it through or make a research. And for herpes my doctor told me that there is no known cure. When I saw testimonies of his Herpes cure on sites. I copied his contact drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. I showed it to brown who confirmed it was Dr Utu contact. I contacted him immediately and he also prepared and sent me herbal herpes meds through DHL. Right after getting this traditional meds I followed the prescription cautiously and withing days I started noticing rapid change and I know within me it's the cure. I used it for up to two weeks and when my test result was out not only did this herbal meds cure me but boost my immune and I feel real and free. Dr Utu African Traditional meds have successfully cured Herpes, Warts, HIV, Cancers, Kidney Stone, Asthma, most importantly this traditional meds boost immune and have no after effect.
