Levin's research reveals how bioelectricity influences development and forms, suggesting organisms can be shaped far beyond genetic constraints through electric signaling.

Our research team recently ran a study showing that adults can, in fact, learn absolute pitch - and do this quite well! With the right kind of training, even adults can develop this skill that was once thought to be gated by genetics and confined to those who had exposure to music training in early childhood.

A team uncovered a brain circuit that may explain why we crave a sweet treat when we are already full.

The expression of the prostaglandin EP3 receptor marks a unique population of median preoptic nucleus neurons that are required for torpor and lipopolysaccharide-induced fever.

"If you have an 'aha! moment' while learning something, it almost doubles your memory," says Roberto Cabeza, lead author of the new study, in a statement.

Each bird follows simple rules of interaction with its closest neighbors, yet out of these local interactions emerges a complex, coordinated dance that can respond swiftly to predators and environmental changes.

The study highlights that ubrogepant, a drug designed for migraine relief, can also effectively reduce debilitating prodromal symptoms such as fatigue and brain fog.

Singing activates emotional brain networks that bypass cognitive defenses.

"After meticulous efforts not to exceed your energy envelope, you may have achieved some hard-won, yet tentative stability... attempting the activity, you find yourself hit by a fresh wave of symptoms."

For someone who studies the brain's ability to predict future experiences, there is little about Nghia Nguyen's life that could be described as predictable.
