Evidence suggests early developing human brains are preconfigured with instructions for understanding the world

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human brain development.

🤔 Unconscious behavior – What really drives people!🧠✨

#Zoomposium with #GerhardRoth: The reason lies deep in our unconscious processes. While our #consciousness formulates noble intentions, our #unconscious mind has long since made the actual #decisions. It is the invisible engine that drives our actions – often completely independently of what we consciously claim or believe.

Hundreds of genes act differently in the brains of men and women | The-14

Hundreds of genes act differently in male and female brains, shaping development, behaviour and risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s from early life.

MIT News just broke the groundbreaking revelation: Your brain doesn't like being sleep-deprived. 😴💡 Apparently, skipping sleep might cause attention lapses—who knew?! Next week's headline: Water is wet, confirms MIT research. 🏊‍♂️📚

This is your brain without sleep

An MIT study reveals what happens in the brain as lapses of attention occur following sleep deprivation. During these lapses, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain — a process that typically occurs during sleep and helps to wash away waste products that have built up during the day.

Intercellular communication in the brain through a dendritic nanotubular network

Intercellular nanotubular networks mediate material exchange, but their existence in neurons remains to be explored in detail. We identified long, thin dendritic filopodia forming direct dendrite–dendrite nanotubes (DNTs) in mammalian cortex. Super-...
