The focus on neuroscience box "brain reward when making eye contact with attractive people" describes an fmri study. the results showed that when we make direct eye contact with a physically attractive person, a specific area on each side of the brain is activated. when the attractive person's eye gaze is shifted away from the viewer, brain activity in these areas decrease. other researchers have expanded on these findings and identified additional brain areas that are selectively responsive to the reward value of attractive faces. these are the:

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. how will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases? because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions. because science has shown that the washing of hands prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food. because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.
