On Purpose with Jay Shetty
This book was mentioned while Jay Shetty was discussing nostalgia and its role in remembering past relationships. He explained how nostalgic experiences stimulate metabolic activity and blood flow in the brain, which can lead to positive emotional responses.
This is 2016 July from No Ryuchi. And then I'm also reading from Barrett's. These are two journals that I found through Neurology Live.

This is 2016 July from No Ryuchi. And then I'm also reading from Barrett's. These are two journals that I found through Neurology Live.
Nostalgic experiences stimulate metabolic activity and blood flow in several regions of the brain.
Interestingly, people who rated higher on the effective neuroscience personality scale, which measures a person's tendency to sadness, were more prone to experience nostalgia.
This correlation does make sense as people who generally experience stronger emotions should experience a range of powerful feelings, whether those emotions are happy or sad.
But nostalgia itself is not linked with depression or any other affective disorder. In fact, one study linked nostalgia to an overall trait of resilience.
