New physics explains how odor changes on its journey through the air
54+ min ago (1094+ words) Wind reshapes the timing of odor whiffs, potentially giving animals clues about where a scent originated. (CREDIT: Scott Franz/CU Boulder Today) An odor drifting through the air does not arrive at a nose in the same form it left…...
The hiccup may be an ancient reflex inherited from ancestors that breathed both air and water — its pattern resembles the gill ventilation of amphibians, while its purpose in humans and other mammals remains unresolved
1+ hour, 43+ min ago (699+ words) Scientists suspect your hiccup is a evolutionary relic from your aquatic ancestors, a neurological ghost of gill-breathing that somehow persisted even though it serves no obvious purpose today. Published September 21, 2026 · How we edit A tadpole hanging in pond water breathes…...
Scientists Link “Lonely” Sleep Waves to Memory Decline With Age
3+ hour, 48+ min ago (504+ words) As tau builds up in the brain, the brain waves that help form memories during non-REM sleep become irregular....
Why does your brain mix up memories? A new study examines how memories are misplaced in your brain’s filing cabinets
4+ day, 2+ hour ago (539+ words) The brain's hippocampus inappropriately changes memories between different memory phases as people get older, new research suggests. This helps explain why memories become less precise — but not forgotten — as people age. Old age and forgetfulness seem to go hand in…...
Google's simulated fruit fly brain 'mines Bitcoin' in web browser proof of concept — FutureBit says real organic neuron miner could have '10x the efficiency of the best silicon 3nm ASICs"
16+ hour, 21+ min ago (204+ words) A project claimed to represent "the first organic neuron Bitcoin miner based on the fly brain" has gone live. Yes, this is a cryptomining project that leans on the fruit fly connectome recently shared by Google. FutureBit, the company behind…...
My brain constantly replays moments from my past. Neuroscience explained why
1+ week, 4+ day ago (735+ words) Several times a day, I can be washing dishes, just turning my head, or catching a particular angle of light, and suddenly I am dropped into a one‑second clip from my own past. It might be the view from…...
Imaging Index Links Blood Flow to Cellular Architecture
1+ day, 1+ hour ago (536+ words) Researchers at USC have created a noninvasive metric called the cerebral blood flow–cell-body staining intensity similarity index (CCSI) to evaluate how blood flow matches cell density across the layers of the living human cerebral cortex. Source: Keck School of…...
Scientists Unleash Franken-Mice With Brains That Are Nearly Half Human
7+ hour, 59+ min ago (496+ words) Published Sep 20, 2026 7:02 AM EDT Scientists have created mice with brains that have millions of functioning human neurons fused into them. This groundbreaking feat could provide a new avenue for understanding and treating neurocognitive disorders, though the Frankenstein-esque nature of the…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9333: Towards Unified Affective AI: A Cross-Modal Survey of Emotion Recognition, Generation, and Control
8+ hour, 35+ min ago (539+ words) Emotion recognition and generation have become increasingly important research areas in artificial intelligence, underpinning applications in healthcare, education, customer service, and human–computer interaction. Human emotion is inherently multimodal, being conveyed through facial expressions, speech, and language, while modern affective…...
