The Importance of Embracing Silence in a Noisy World

It's Okay to Be Still

Silence is a precious gift. In that space between our words, it’s where we find ourselves. we can hear our own heart talking to us, our soul and intuition.

Music Therapy as a Complementary Treatment

For treating melancholia, Ibn Sina recommended listening to music and singing, besides ventilation, selected foods, bath therapy, massage with poultice, medication, evacuation, cupping, wrapping, and distracting patient with something pleasurable and soothing, such as bringing someone he/she likes.For lovesickness, Ibn Sina recommended treatment by listening to singing or music, besides evacuation, nutritious diet, bath therapy, and counselling.

The treatment methods recommended for melancholia, insomnia, and lovesickness clearly illustrate that music therapy was not the main (conventional) treatment. Music therapy was more of an adjunct treatment to complement the main treatment methods suggested, with the role of overcoming symptoms so that the patient is distracted, calmed down, and entertained.

The hospitals during the medieval era in Islamic civilization had a unique approach to treatment - music therapy. Some of these hospitals include:

<ul>
<li>Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) in Morocco</li> 
<li>Bimarastan al-Mansuri in Cairo</li>
<li>Bimarastan al-Arghuni in Aleppo, Syria</li>
<li>Bimarastan Nur al-Din in Damascus</li>
<li>Kayseri Gevher Nesibeh Darussifas</li>
<li>Divrigi Ulu Mosque and Darussifas</li>
<li>Amasya Darussifas</li>
<li>Fatih Darussifas in Istanbul</li>
<li>Edirne Sultan Bayezid II Darussifas</li>
<li>Suleymaniye Sifahanesi</li>
<li>A hospital established by Ayse Hafsa Sultan</li>
</ul>

Hospitals that Used Music Therapy in Medieval Islamic Civilizati

Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) in Morroco was built in 1286 AD by Sultan Yusuf ibn Ya’qub (Banu Marin) to treat patients with depression, using music therapy, herbs, and spices. It also served as a sanctuary for the mentally ill.

Bimarastan Fez (Sidi Frej) - A Historical Psychiatric Hospital

Ibn Batutah, who managed to visit this hospital on vacation in Egypt, also commented on its indescribable beauty. Hunke denoted this hospital to be the biggest and richest health institute ever built on this planet. This hospital was operated fully using endowment (waqf) funds.

As per Ibn Iyas, the hospital endowment had two conditions: 1) providing music every evening to uplift patients' spirits and 2) reciting the Qur'an in the domed hall. Musicians received a monthly salary while Qurra' were paid in wheat and birds.

Hospital Endowment: Music and Qur'anic Recitation

Ibn Sina’s (Avicenna) denotes that one of the most effective methods in medical treatment is listening to music, which clearly illustrates the position of music therapy in medical treatment. This chapter discusses four matters: (i) the concept of music therapy as medical treatment, (ii) the function of music therapy as a method of complementary treatment aimed more towards calming and relieving pain, but not as a total cure for the patient, (iii) the hospitals that applied music therapy as treatment, and (iv) the process of applying music therapy in the medical tradition of the Islamic civilisation. Music here includes instrumental music, the sound of singing, adhan (call to prayer), Quranic recitation, as well as sounds of nature, such as of birds singing and of water from a fountain pool. Among the hospitals that applied such therapy was Bimarastan Fez in Morroco, Bimarastan al-Mansuri at Cairo, Egypt, Bimarastan al-Arghuni at Allepo, Syria, Bimarastan Nur al-Din at Damascus City, and Suleymaniye Sifahanesi.

Blessings and provisions do not only reach us due to actions of the tongue and our limbs, but primarily begin with the actions of our hearts. One of these is having complete trust and dependence upon Allah, knowing that He is ar-Razzaq, the Only and Ultimate Provider, the source of all the blessings we enjoy.By having complete reliance upon Him, He promises to provide for us.

1. Rely Upon Him

“If you would trust in Allah as He truly should be trusted, He would surely provide for you as He provides for the birds. They set out in the morning with empty stomachs and return in the evening with full stomachs.”

Another action of the heart, showing gratitude is one of the most beloved forms of worship, and draws us closer to Him.“Therefore, remember Me (by praying, glorifying). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.” (Qur’an, 2:152)Try journaling or using one of the many gratitude apps, to start building this habit.

2. Cultivate gratitude

One of the simplest ways we can increase our rizq is through seeking forgiveness for our sins and shortcomings.Nuh (as) instructed his people to seek Allah’s forgiveness, assuring them that as a result He would bestow material blessings upon them.Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned istighfar (seeking forgiveness) amongst the most effective adhkar that lead to an increase in provision and warding off hardship.

3. Seek Forgiveness

“Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you, rivers.”

Having belief in Allah and taqwa in general, is one of the causes for His Bounty to be bestowed upon a person. He says,“And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.” (Qur’an 7:96)

4. Be God-Conscious

The natural consequence of being God-conscious and seeking forgiveness is to abandon sins. One of the consequences of our sins is that they deprive us of provision in the worldly life, as the Prophet (saw) said: “A man is deprived of provision because of the sins that he commits.” (Ibn Majah)When we face difficulties in life, be it, our interpersonal relationships, in our work or home life, we should reflect on our actions and consider where we are falling short.“Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself…” (Qur’an, 4:79)

5. Abandon Sins

It is unsurprising that just as sins cause provision to be blocked, by devoting ourselves to Allah, His worship and servitude, the financial and psychological hardships we face will be uplifted.He (saw) also told us that “…nothing increases one’s lifespan except good deeds.” (at-Tirmidhi)

6. Devote Yourself to Him

We know that the first deed we will be asked about on the Day of Judgement will be our prayers; if they are in order, then the rest of our deeds will be.In a hadith qudsi, “Allah the Exalted says: ‘O Son of Adam, do not be heedless of praying 4 rakʿahs for Me in the beginning of your day and (as a result) I shall be your sufficiency at its end.’” (Abu Dawud)

7. Establish Prayers

One of the means Allah gave us to attain provision is to ask for His Favours and Bounty, having complete conviction that He is the Sustainer and Provider, and is the only One we should ask and whose Aid we should seek.He (saw) would also pray for contentment in what Allah had given him: “O Allah, make me content with what You have provided for me, bless me in it, an appoint good for me in everything I do not have.” (ad-Dawat al-Kabir)

8. Call Upon Him

Allah also has given us a means to increase our provision through our relationships with the rest of His creation. This is another opportunity to demonstrate our taqwa and devotion to Him practically in our lives. We do not choose our relatives, and we can often find we are tested by those closest to us. But by keeping the ties of kinship, our provision can be increased.“Whoever would like his provision to be abundant and his lifespan to be extended, let him uphold his ties of kinship.” (Bukhari)

9. Uphold Ties of Kinship

One of the other ways we can increase our provision, through our relations with people is by supporting those in need.“Seek out the vulnerable for me, for you are only given provision and divine support due to your care for the vulnerable.” (Abu Dawud)We know that the poor and destitute in this life, will enter Paradise before the wealthy of the ummah, and we are encouraged frequently in the Qur’an and hadith to relieve the hardship of those in worse circumstances than ourselves.

10. Support The Vulnerable

We have been assured by the Prophet (saw) that “Charity does not decrease wealth.” (Muslim), rather it brings blessings and purifies your wealth. Helping others will not only bring with it spiritual rewards, but also will make you feel uplifted and positive.

11. Give Charity

You should ensure your income is obtained in a halal way, per the guidelines of Islam, and is both ethical and moral. This is not only in terms of the way you earn a living, but also whom you work for, and how it is sourced.

12. Keep It Halal

The Prophet (saw) explained the importance of conducting ourselves with integrity and transparency when it comes to business. “The two parties of a transaction have the right (to annul the contract) as long as they do not separate (from each other). So, if they were truthful (to one another), and honest in explaining (the defects of an item), then they will be blessed in their transaction. But, if they lied, and hid (the defects of an item) then the blessings of their transaction are destroyed.” (Muslim)

The companion, Ibn Abbas (ra) warned of the consequences of taking prohibited means: “There is no believer or sinner but that Allah Almighty has decreed his provision from the lawful. If he is patient until it comes to him, Allah will give it to him. If he becomes anxious and consumes something from the unlawful, Allah will decrease his provision from the lawful.” (Hilyat al-Awliya)

We can look at ways to increase our income and save pennies, but we can also consider how to bring barakah back into our homes. Eating together has both spiritual and social benefits. We should encourage our family and friends to share our meals together, with our spouses or children, to bring barakah into our homes.

13. Eat Together

"Eat together and do not eat separately, as there is more barakah when eating in a group.” (Ibn Majah)The Prophet (saw) explained that when we eat together, the blessing in the food increases and many more mouths can be fed than we may anticipate.“The food of one person suffices for two, the food of two persons suffices for four persons, and the food of four persons suffices for eight persons.” (Muslim)

Another means to increase the blessings in our home, is ensuring we give greetings of peace when we enter. The Prophet (saw) described such a person as being in the care and protection of Allah. Subsequently, their needs will be met and they will receive their provision in this life, and they are promised Paradise in the next.

14. Spread Greetings of Peace

MORNING DUA دعاء الصباح

What happened that made us believe we all had to be special, beautiful and rich? That we had to have more and be more and pretend that the two were connected..To film it all.

Shabaz explains, it's consumerism and social media, which together created this obsession of scrolling through the phone.. relatable info highlighting issues we all face but just don't won't or can't do anything about..

Being a povvo is great, because ... I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the lives of plastic people we stare at online do not look fun. They holiday in Dubai.. their most meaningful relationships are with customer service assistants (who hate them) 🤦‍♀️

The aim of this book seems to acknowledge how ridiculous it is to see extravagant living on social media platforms.. and to hype the beauty of normal people lives. A much needed dialogue for certain members of society ✌️

Shabaz shares his thoughts on how social media has warped our minds in relation to food.. 10 dollar giant strawberries.. gold steaks..He highlights the abnormalities which are normalised on the Internet, and then celebrates the reality of the average persons relationship with food.

It is adult life as designed by a child who wants to be a Princess.. the child (played by an adult Influencer) can really play grown ups by pretending to require a stimulant.. but in place of dolls there are 3 million people watching on a phone.

A reminder of times back in 2008 when we didn't all constantly take photos of ourselves .. selfies.. there was no time for being sexy ..'Today's generation have grown up in a world where everyone's just trying to look sexy all the time' .. the challenges faced using filters explained perfectly 😵‍💫😖Damage to our self image.. destructive to our sense of self..

Now we are playing the same game as the models, but we are destined to lose unless we buy some products..
No beauty products can make you beautiful..

I think the Internet cosmetics industry treats young women in a similar way to how crypto/investor socials approach teenage boys

How to date on the cheap? Be single!Mathematical studies show that simply reducing the number of people on a date from 2 to 1, can reduce costs and improve your mental state by 50%!That's a saving!Throughout the book helpful povvo tips are provided 🤭

Povvo Hack!

... we turn to obsessive people with low body fat as a substitute for functioning healthcare systems, and the solutions to a society that has been massively disrupted by the rapid advance of technology.

... in reality we are all ill from a loss of community, a loss of social safety nets and the general psychological erosion that comes from spending too much time online..

... to dedicate time, money and thought to something that adds nearly no quality to your life is a sign of how free you are, and how much spare money and time you have. Ice cubes literally melt away. You are saying 'I have time and money to put into something that will disappear, because time and money are nothing to me'.

The world is full of books about how to be rich. This is not one of them. Today, many of us are feeling the pinch - and being bombarded with portrayals of social media 'perfection' is making that pinch feel more like a punch. We may know that social media - with all its billionaires and beauty queens - is just a highlight reel. So why is it still making most of us feel so low? Comedian Shabaz Ali wants to help you see the funny side of social media again. Because while it looks nice to live up in an ivory tower, this book reminds us that it is much more fun to be part of the baying mob that surrounds it. This laugh-out-loud deep-dive into social media's ridiculously rich, will help you love your own penny-pinched, rough-around-the-edges, extraordinarily ordinary life.

I'm Rich, You're Poor

Did you know that Vitamin C is a powerful brain booster and one of the best vitamins to help calm you down?
But is it something you think of taking if you are feeling stressed or depressed? Maybe not.

Vitamin C

It has a vital role to play in your brain and is one of the best vitamins to help calm you down. Concentrations of vitamin C in the brain are far higher than those in the rest of the body, and long after the body is depleted of the vitamin, the brain maintains its levels. That's because it is so important for the conversion of tyrosine into dopamine, tryptophan into serotonin, and for GABA, acetylcholine, norepinephrine and epinephrine production.

These are the neurotransmitters providing the stress and relaxation response, balanced mood, both physical and motivational energy and feelings of reward and satisfaction.Without Vitamin C neurotransmitter levels decline in the brain and body resulting in prolonged stress and anxiety, lower mood and low motivational energy.Vitamin C is fundamental to all thoughts and feelings and is very important in helping to balance your mood and keep you feeling calm.

Yes, vitamin C calms you downThis antioxidant plays a vital role in your central nervous system. A study in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry declared that:"vitamin C deficiency is widely associated to stress-related diseases and several studies showed that supplementation produces antidepressant effect and improves mood”

Chronic stress and anxiety leads you to have elevated levels of cortisol (a stress hormone). Vitamin C can help your body to better manage its cortisol levels.

Vitamin C plays an important therapeutic role for anxiety as it helps both in the prevention and in the reduction of anxiety. This suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C may be an effective addition to medical and psychological treatment of anxiety as well as improving cognitive performance

Vitamin C helps with your brain fog and memory.It plays a vital role in the formation maturation of neurons and of the myelin sheath that protects them and speeds message transmission. This makes it crucial to cognitive performance including memory and processing speed.A study that included 80 healthy adults found that those with adequate blood levels of vitamin C performed significantly better in tests assessing memory, attention, reaction time, and focus than those with low vitamin C levels

What’s more, a recent study suggests that vitamin C supplementation may improve mood in people with subclinical depression, which could enhance cognitive performance, thus reducing depression-related brain fog

NRV for vitamin C:Adult males: 90 mg/dayAdult females: 75 mg/day

How much Vitamin C to take?

Top food sources for vitamin C:Guava, citrus fruits, kiwis, melons, papaya, pineapplered bell peppers, red cabbage, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, potatoesAnd as poor diet is common in people with mood disorders so it is possible that vitamin C deficiency might also be more prevalent among people struggling with their mental health.

We all tend to eat the same sorts of foods each week which means that over time we start to miss some crucial nutrients.It means that we end up with deficiencies and gaps without even realising it.This has a huge impact on how our bodies and brains work.

Your brain is very responsive.That’s where a high quality supplement fits in. It helps you to give your brain a boost, fix the deficiencies and help you to feel calm again.Add a good supplement to your daily routine and you are fast on your way to transforming your mental health.

Did you know that vitamin C is a powerful brain booster and one of the best vitamins to help calm you down? If I asked you: What do you take vitamin C for?   I imagine your first answer would be to boost your immunity. It’s one of the first things we think of taking when we are ill with a cold or flu.    But is it some

Does Vitamin C Calm You down?

Listen to recitations of the verse on YouTube for a better understanding of the benefits 👍🔊 👂

Due to a lack of revelation, the Prophet PBUH fell into a depression and was about to give up all hope. These kinds of emotions are common in everyday life. There are instances when we cannot get up in the morning. In addition, we lack faith and pray distractedly.We feel as if we have lost our connection to Allah. When we sense that Allah no longer loves us, we conclude that we aren’t good enough.We will consider how Surat Duha gives us peace of mind.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) received Surah Ad-Duha after six months without any revelation. The Prophet (ﷺ) was depressed and thought that Allah had forgotten him, disapproved of him, and no longer wanted him to be a Prophet.These evil thoughts were alleviated and replaced with hope, positivism, and assurance that Allah is always there for him in Surah Ad-Duha.

Lessons From Surah Duha

That’s what this Surah is all about, and that’s the most important lesson it teaches.<ul><li>Optimism is a virtue we must uphold as Muslims.</li><li>Our ancestors did not intend for us to be a gloomy race.</li><li>Our lives should be filled with hope for Allah’s help and mercy.</li><li>Optimism and hope are essential ingredients in each activity we attempt.</li><li>If we are serious and the endeavor is helpful to the ummah, we must have faith that Allah will support us.</li><li>That mentality should be the driving force behind our efforts.</li></ul>

BE POSITIVE:

<ul><li>Allah reminded us of occasions in the past when He helped His Messenger so that we can keep our spirits up (peace be upon him).</li><li>Many times in the past, Allah has given us prosperity and turned around a difficult circumstance in our own lives.</li><li>Reminiscing about such occasions helps us remain hopeful that Allah will continue to provide for us in the future.</li></ul>

BE THANKFUL: 

<ul><li>A believer’s goals are not selfish and materialistic. Instead, our goals should revolve around the aspirations of believers who aren’t self-centered and selfish.</li><li>The Muslim world thrives because of the generosity of its people.</li><li>Almighty Allah rewards those who give generously, and their wealth multiplies as a result.</li><li>The person who gets the charity is also blessed and now has some money to help him go forward in his own life.</li><li>Charity is a win/win scenario.</li></ul>

BE GENEROUS:

<ul><li>A Muslim’s aim should be to raise and benefit the ummah, which necessitates having an ummah-centric attitude.</li><li>Putting people first should be the ultimate goal of every endeavor.</li><li>As long as our primary purpose is to help the ummah, Allah will reward us with Barakah for our work, companies, resources, and free time we devote to the cause.</li></ul>

CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY:

1. Wad duhaa— By the morning brightness“Wake up, look at the sunshine!” is the first thing you need to hear if you’re depressed. You only have to glance up to see that life is not all doom and gloom.

Tafseer of Surah Duha

2. Wal laili iza sajaa— And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,Why does this aayah mention darkness right away? To serve as a gentle reminder that the night’s purpose is to protect, comfort, and rest us.Therefore, we can use the night as a consolation to soothe our suffering, according to this aayah.

3. Ma wad da’aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa— Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].One of Allah’s most striking verses reassures the downtrodden that He is constantly at their side, reminding them that He does not despise them or forget them.

4. Walal-aakhiratu khairul laka minal-oola— And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].Depressed people often wonder: Is this all there is to life? Is there no hope for a brighter future?As a solution to those inquiries, the verses of this aayah serve as a reminder that this world is just transient and that the hereafter awaits us in Aakhira.As a result, we get a positive outlook on the challenges we face in this life and see them as tests of our faith in Allah.

5. Wa la sawfa y’uteeka rabbuka fatarda— And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.As a guarantee from Allah, we can expect a colossal recompense (Jannah) shortly. Subhanallah!Why else would this be the most comforting thing you could ever hear when you’re feeling low and fed up with the troubles of this world?

6. Alam ya jidka yateeman fa aawaa – Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?In the first part of the Surah, Allah gave us a cause to accept His statements and promises.Understandably, many of us are asking ourselves, “How does this aayah concerning orphans connect to most of us Why do you think that a lot of people feel that way when they are unwell or alone?The only person you had with you at the moment was whoever it was. Allah! He was the one who watched over you and helped you get through that difficult period of your life.

7. Wa wa jadaka daal lan fahada— And He found you lost and guided [you].As Muslims, how many of us have strayed from Islam in the past, even though we were born into it? Our hidaya was given to us by Allah, and it was He who guided us back to the straight road and Him, transforming us into good Muslims in the process. Alhamdulillah!

8. Wa wa jadaka ‘aa-ilan fa aghnaa— And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.In our lives, the majority of us have likely experienced a lack of financial resources several times. However, in retrospect, we understand that the rizq that took us through those challenging economic times came solely from Allah.To help those who are depressed, show them how Allah has helped them in the past.This will reinforce their faith in Allah’s promises for them in this Surah.

9. Fa is mal yateema fala taqhar — So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him].Using this aayah is like taking an antidepressant every day.People who are depressed are preoccupied with their circumstances and believe no one could be in a worse position.When we’re feeling hopeless and down, this ayah encourages us to consider those in far worse positions. Orphans who have no family or loved ones and no one to care for them. Yet, we have loving families and parents who care about us, a place to live and food to eat, yet we perceive ourselves to be in a precarious position? Subhanallah!

10. Wa am mas saa-ila fala tanhar— And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].Beggars serve as another reminder to us of the various material gifts Allah has bestowed upon us, such as food, clothes, and a place to sleep. The question is, how many of us have gone to bed hungry before? How many of us are without clothing? Have no place to call home?The orphan and the beggar are two people whom we should continually remember to be grateful for the many gifts that Allah has bestowed upon us, overcome our feelings of melancholy, and rediscover our connection to Allah.

11. Wa amma bi ne’mati rabbika fahad dith – But as for the favor of your Lord, report [it].The last aayah encourages us to keep our restored trust and connection with Allah alive by meditating on, praising, and extolling His benefits. Whether it’s through halaqas, conversations with loved ones, or even preaching! There are several ways to maintain Allah’s name in your heart, such as dhikr, reading the Quran, and listening to lectures!Inshallah, reading Surah Ad Duha and pondering its contents will revive your faith and strengthen your conviction in Allah’s grandeur and might.

Why does being bad feel so good?

Research explains where these behaviors come from and help us understand why we continue to engage in them—and often celebrate them—even as we declare them to be evil.

Techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which highlights metabolically active areas of the brain, now allow us to view the biology of bad intentions.

The most enjoyable sins engage the brain’s reward circuitry, including evolutionarily ancient regions such as the nucleus accumbens and hypothalamus; located deep in the brain, they provide us such fundamental feelings as pain, pleasure, reward, and punishment.

More disagreeable forms of sin such as wrath and envy enlist the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. This area, buried in the front of the brain, is often called the brain’s conflict detector, coming online when you are confronted with contradictory information or even simply when you feel pain.The more social sins (pride, envy, lust, wrath) recruit the medial prefrontal cortex. Found just behind the forehead, this region helps shape the awareness of self.

No understanding of temptation is complete without considering restraint, and neuroscience illuminates this process as well. As we struggle to resist, inhibitory cognitive control networks involving the front of the brain activate to squelch naughty impulses by tempering their appeal.

Meanwhile, research suggests that regions such as the caudate—partly responsible for body movement and coordination—suppress the physical impulse. It seems to be the same whether you feel a spark of lechery, a surge of jealousy, or the desire to pop somebody in the mouth: The two sides battle it out, the devilish reward system versus the angelic brain regions that hold us in check.

It might be too strong to claim that evolution has wired us for sin, but excessive indulgence in lust or greed could certainly put you ahead of your competitors.

“Many of these sins you could think of as virtues taken to the extreme. From the perspective of natural selection, you want the organism to eat, to procreate, so you make them rewarding. But there’s a potential for that process to go beyond the bounds.”

There is no sin centre in the brain, no single node of fiendishness that we might be able to shut down with drugs or electrodes. With the advent of modern imaging techniques that peer into the brain as it functions, though, we at least gain some perspective on our bad habits. At the same time, we can indulge in another wickedly gratifying pastime: As other people misbehave, we can sit back and watch.

In the annals of sin, weaknesses of the flesh—lust, gluttony, sloth—are considered second-tier offenses, less odious than the “spiritual” sins of envy and pride. That’s good news, since these yearnings are notoriously difficult to suppress.

Lust

Watching pornography calls upon brain regions associated with reward, sensory interpretation, and visual processing. It enlists the amygdala and the hypothalamus, which deal with emotional information; it also stimulates the reward processing ventral striatum, probably due to the satisfying nature of watching erotic stimuli. All said, the most notable thing about lust is that it sets nearly the whole brain buzzing.

These responses are so unique and distinctive that, in the context of an experiment, it is possible to determine whether a man is aroused just by looking at an fMRI brain scan. “These are huge effects,” Safron says. “You’re looking at the difference between something that elicits intense desire and something that does not.” (Women show a less spectacular response, Safron says, and it is unclear exactly why.).
