Doors

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind,

> only to completely forget what that purpose was?

> Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.

> Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing

> through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind,

> separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.

> Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room

> and prepares a blank slate for the new locale.

> It's not aging, it's the door!
