The Science of Lifespan — and the Impact of Your Five Senses | Christi Gendron | TED https://tube.grossholtz.net/videos/watch/5bdeb6cc-b147-48b8-8daf-bf758d9b3062 What you experience through your senses — sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch — can impact how healthy you are and how long you live, says neurobiologist Christi Gendron. She explores how environmental cues like temperature, light and even just the sight of death have influenced the lifespan of fruit flies, suggesting your everyday perceptions may have direct repercussions on your ability to live a long, healthy life.
