Did your gut bacteria make you read this post? From Mo at Neurophilosophy: Gut bacteria may influence thoughts and behaviour.

A short, but interesting, post from Dr. Shock: Is Sexting a Form of Attachment Anxiety?

Finally, from the eHarmony Labs: My partner and I are opposites. Now what?

The views expressed are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of Scientific American.
