A news research has suggested that kissing and making up with your better half before bedtime meliorate your frame of mind on the next day.

After quarreling, pairs having high activity in a certain outer brain area are less likely to be discomfit the next day, whereas the pairs having low activity are more likely to be in a terrible mood, continue to think about the disagreement in their minds, and turn to booze or drugs, the research has discovered.

The lateral prefrontal lobe is said to be involved in the mode people control their sentiments, with extra activity associated to more emotional resilience.

The research was carried out by Harvard and California University psychologists.

Lead author Professor Christine Hooker said, "What we found, as you might expect, was that everybody felt badly on the day of the conflict with their partners. But the day after, people who had high lateral prefrontal cortex activity felt better and the people who had low lateral prefrontal cortex activity continued to feel bad."

The results of the study are released in the Biological Psychiatry journal. (With Input from Agencies)
