That bit about the hippocampus firing over novelty? I’ve heard a theory that’s why the years seem to pass so much quickly as we grow older. Basically, we had more wonder as kids when everything was new, so we were logging more memories. (This suggests that forcing yourself to do more new things will keep you feeling young, so I’m off to try BASE jumping)
