However, a new study by researchers at Northeastern University suggests that the size of almonds in the brain may reflect the network and the human ability to socialize.

The researchers used magnetic resonance imaging technology to measure the size of almonds in the brain of 58 subjects aged 19 to 83 and combined the questionnaire survey to find out. the morality of the objects.

The results show that the larger the size of almond nodules, the larger the social network. In contrast, the smaller the almond size, the narrower the social network.

Previous studies have shown that in some primates, aggressive social animals often develop almonds.

This study has once again demonstrated the relationship between almonds in the human brain with a degree of extending social relations.
