Their argument is based on the conclusion that no evidence for the existence of repressed memory exists in literature, fiction or non-fiction, before 1800—while other psychological disorders like epilepsy and schizophrenia have been documented since ancient times. Since the onset of their literary quest over a year ago, the researchers at Harvard-affiliated Mclean hospital have promised $1,000 to anyone who can provide a pre-1800 counterexample to their claim. The contest, known as the “Repression Challenge,” can be found on the lab’s website...

Even after adjusting for schooling and immigration status, the results were unequivocal: being a polyglot (or at least a biglot) fights brain rot. What's not clear is why. Researchers speculate the ability to operate in two languages could - like exercise or stimulating leisure and social activity - help the brain continue normal functions even as it decays physically. Just don't expect great things from your French refresher course. The study, appearing...
