According to scientific evidence, there could be another reason to Jennifer Aniston<\/a>‘s overwhelming success in Hollywood (other than her talent, of course). Everyone has been turned into self-confessed neuroscientists after Dr. Ben Rein published a video to TikTok explaining evidence that suggests the actress sparks a specific brain response when we see images of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is scientific evidence that when you look at this \u2014 there is probably one neuron, one cell in your brain that is activated by all of those photos,\u201d the scientist explained, flashing images of the actress. He discussed findings from Rodrigo Quian Quiroga who first published a study about the phenomenon in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you know who Jennifer Aniston is, then you probably have a Jennifer Aniston neuron like this, but that one neuron is not located in the exact same place in everyone\u2019s brain,\u201d said Rein.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are probably several, maybe even hundreds of cells which encode information related to Jennifer Aniston, and this cell probably interacts with those cells,\u201d he continued. \u201cBrain\u2019s not quite simple enough where it\u2019s like, one cell per one thing. Neuroscience can be pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TikTok famous doctor explained that \u201ccertain brain cells represent or encode specific things, like the identity of a person or an object.\u201d And when people who participated in the study were shown other images like Kobe Bryant or a dolphin, the response was not the same, if not absent.<\/p>\n
