For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s woman in skull (2016), not a brain per se, but the part of the skull where the brain sits, imagined as an architectural space.
For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s neuraesthenia (2017), a piece depicting the heaviness I feel during post-exertional malaise (PEM). PEM often starts in my cognition then spreads out through my body.

🧠 Brain Fact #5

Artificial neural networks used in modern AI were originally inspired by how biological neurons connect and process information. Today, neuroscience and AI research continue to influence each other.

Motor deficits in Huntington's disease mice were rescued by targeted activation of cortical inhibitory neurons.

As a winner of the Emerging Neuroscientist Seminar Series, Dr Sonja Blumenstock, UCSD, explains her findings in our latest Q&A:

🧠 The PREDICTOM project showed that a brain scan called an EEG can distinguish between healthy people & those with subtle symptoms of #AlzheimersDisease. πŸ™Œ EEGs are low-cost & widely accessible, enabling early detection & better outcomes.

Good sleep hygiene is necessary for brain health! We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, so it’s crucial to understand how it impacts the brain and how we function. #BrainAwarenessWeek #BrainWeek

🧠 Brain Fact #4

Even a short period of sleep (like a power nap!) helps the brain reorganize itself and clear space for new ideas β€” improving its ability to absorb new information and increasing the chance of creative insights πŸ’€
