New research suggests that cortisol, a hormone released during stressful situations, changes brain activity in ways that strengthen memories of experiences a person finds emotionally intense. Yale researchers found that cortisol affected two […]

A Pompeii-Like Volcanic Disaster Preserved a 22-Million-Year-Old Landscape

A reconstructed landscape beneath Chile’s Lauca volcanic deposits supports a slow, steady rise for this part of the Andes. The Lauca Caldera, a large volcanic depression in northern Chile, erupted 21.9 million years ago and buried an entire landscape beneath volcanic rock. That covering protected evidence of how the Andes were growing from erosion and […]
