These are required that we can accumulate a lifelong...
information, knowledge, experiences that are valuable for our children, but also for our grandchildren.
The main reason we get that old as we get.
Okay, so the hippocampus has to grow new cells.
And one of the major fertilizers of this growth process is oxytocin.
So when a child is born, a lot of oxytocin is produced, the hippocampus grows, and the mother has a better memory than ever in her whole life when the child is born.
The same actually does prolactin, which is important for giving milk to the baby.
So giving milk to the baby, the birth of the baby produces hormones, and these hormones activate the growth of the hippocampus.
And the same goes for dogs.
When a dog looks into your eyes,
It was proven the oxytocin level increases in your blood, but not only in your blood, also in the dog's blood, by the way.
So there is kind of a bonding between the two species based on the oxytocin system.
And the paper in Science about 10-15 years ago said that the oxytocin system was captured by the dogs so that they become our friendliest companions.
Well, for the dogs, it means they get the food every day they need.
It's a species which survives that way, and evolution works in a way that you have to survive, and your children have to survive, and your kids have to survive, and that is more likely if the wolf becomes a dog.
Yes, the dog is dependent on you.
It's dependent on you, and the dependence is...
is guaranteed by the oxytocin system.
But why, and I understand that of course, but what would be the purpose
for people.
