What is it about the s connections that make them so unique? Before we dive into the science, lefs first observe on in action.If I could somehow design a best friend, you know, put together all the ideal qualities of my perfect match, that person would pale in comparison to Priya. She's always there for me. Last year after I failed my important exam, it felt like my whole world was crashing down. Priya was at my door at the news. I was a wreck, but she sat there with me and listened. We were on the same page!Early childhood, adolescent, and adult friendships are all a little different in part because the brain works in different ways at those stages of life. Adolescence is a unique time when peer relationships take focus, and thanks to the developing brain, there are changes in the way you value, understand, and connect to friends. Teenage friends can seem attached at the hip.Scientists describe adolescence as a social re adaption as teenagers begin to spend as much or more time with their friends than with their parents. This drive to hang with pals maybe due to changes in the brain5s reward centre. Its activation makes hanging out with others enjoyable and motivates you to spend more time with them. Neuroimaging（神经成像） studies show that this region is highly reactive during your teenage years, which may explain why adolescents seem to place a higher value on social interactions than children or adults.Teenage friendships can also feel closer than the friendships of your childhood. This deeper connection is possible thanks to improvements in what scientists call Theory-of Mind the ability to understand others' emotions, thoughts, motivations, and points of view. Babies begin to develop Theory of Mind around 18 months or so. And scientists know that it continues to improve and mature well into your teenage years and beyond. Likewise, regions within the social brain show increased connectivity during adolescence compared with childhood.As a result, teens can better understand their friend's perspectives, allowing for deeper connections to develop. The ability to connect with others somewhat depends on the coordination of actions, emotions, physiology, and thoughts. This is what psychologists call interpersonal synchrony.8.

The final result tasted pretty sweet.Blutinger, head of the researcher, said in a press release describing the research, “The cheesecake is the best thing we can showcase right now, but the printer can do a whole lot more.” 3D printed food could make foods more customizable - and possibly more nutritious. With more emphasis on food safety, food prepared with less human handling could lower the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission.Is 3D food printing healthy? ”We have an enormous problem with the low-nutrient value of processed foods J Cooper said. "3D food printing will still turn out processed foods, but perhaps the silver lining will be, for some people, better control and tailoring of nutrition personalized nutrition.“On every scale, from food manufacturers to restaurants and homes, 3D printers might be the next step in automation, removing more people from the preparation process. You,ll likely pay more for your first 3D food printer than you did for your air fryer. When the first ones arrive, perhaps in five years or so, they will likely come in at less than $1,000,“ Blutinger said.12. What is used to make cheesecake?A. A 3D film.B. A newly-built 3D printer.C.
