Ever heard the old myth that if you stand on your head, it will cause all the blood to rush there and help you think? Well, there might actually be something to that old rumor, according to recent studies. Apparently, when blood rushes to your head, it might bring more than just oxygen to the brain -- it might help stimulate neurons and aid in Neurotransmission too.
And researchers are looking at ways to incorporate this idea into modern medicine. For instance, they're looking in to how it can possibly help with illnesses like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. So would new treatments involve hanging by your feet, a la Batman? Only time will tell.
