Thinking About Silence By Ivaana

The realm of stillness is excessively cryptic and strange for comfort. Silence may be unbearable both in a social setting and for the individual. People often perceive those who are not quite as relatable because their voices fill the void that silence creates. However, this noise can also mask deeper truths and emotions that thrive in the quiet. In moments of stillness, one might confront the complexities of thoughts, ultimately discovering a profound sense of clarity that often eludes the clamor of everyday life. Silence between objects or between an observer and a work of art transcends mere reflection or ambiguity; it embodies a realm of potential, critical engagement, and deliberate purpose. Ultimately, silence is the physical domain where the spectacle of imagery unfolds.

Brain scientists have discovered millions of “silent connections” in the adult brain. These are adolescent pathways between neurons that remain inactive until needed to support the formation of new memories. It was previously thought that these silent neurotransmitters only existed during early development when they helped the brain acquire new information. However, the presence of these silent receptors may help explain how the adult brain can create new memories and learn new things without altering existing memories.
