Science has already proved that sunny days can lead to sunny dispositions, helping improve a person's mood, intelligence and memory－and researchers in East China have now shed light on why. A team at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Anhui province, discovered that ultraviolet light－an element of sunshine－activates a change in the brain that can make us smarter.
Research institutes on brain science, medicine and infection diseases were unveiled today in the city.
