Microbes can also make our lives happier. Just bury in the ground, where he exists in a bacterium called Mycobacterium vaccae - exaggerate garden flowers - to see the world through rose-colored glasses - demonstrates Dr. Christopher Lowry of the University of Bristol in the columns of Neuroscience. The investigator found that patients with cancer, people who had
this unusual bacterium, suddenly began to look much more optimistic about life, which immediately helped to improve results.
Effect of Mycobacterium to man is limited to only one change: an increase in serotonin levels. This is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the human brain, in addition responsible for feeling pleasure. Studies have shown that by increasing the secretion of this substance, the positive bacterium copies the action of antidepressants.
Proved this experiment conducted on laboratory mice, which have never been in contact with soil. Animals were placed on a full-time in the damp earth terrarium. Then compared their serotonin levels prior experience with the results obtained after contact with mud.
It turned out that mice are dirty mouse happy - the level of the neurotransmitter was significantly higher among them than before the experiment, as demonstrated by the change in behavior of rodents. The authors intend to use the experience of this natural cure antidepressant therapy in humans.
- We should spend more time on activities related to soiling - suggests that Dr Lowry.
May this time we do not catched other, less friendly microbes.
