The Greek philosopher（哲學(xué)家） Aristotle once said, Some define（下定義） friendship as a matter of similarity. They say that we love those who are like ourselves. Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported. The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a edy, a discussion and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists studied their brains and recorded their brain activity. According to their study, friends who watched the same video clips reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that were connected with motivation（動力）， learning and memory. However, people who weren39。t friends had different reactions to the same clips. Having close friends whose brains react like ours may be rewarding because it makes one39。s won values, opinions, and interests strength, scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.
