Understanding Auditory Motion: How Blind Individuals Perceive Sound

Discover how blind people uniquely perceive auditory motion in a new study. Learn about the brain's ability to adapt to sensory loss and how this challenges our understanding of motion detection and processing.

Serotonin initiates earliest social bonds | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Mice and rats, for example, gravitate toward their mother’s bedding over bedding that is clean or smells of a different dam.

The media and the narrative of society tells us about people who hear voices in their head, and do crazy terrible things, and we are lead to believe that people who hear voices are crazy.

There's much more going on in these situations.

It takes the presence of being grounded within your body while having your energies balanced and aligned to "Make Sense" of the world, ones placement within it, and one's senses.

The domesticated entrainment of normalcy breeds more insanity in its attempts at marketing, managing, harvesting, and consuming the masses.

The narrative of society, the discourse of society, must be looked at and freed from being a tool of subjugation by those who wield it.

Autistic psychiatrists are an asset to medicine — but we need to better support them | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Autistic psychiatrists report experiencing prejudice, stigmatization and career barriers during their training and day-to-day practice. Workplaces can make some simple adjustments to better support them and enhance equality and inclusivity.

Beyond the bench: Finding balance with Gavin Rumbaugh | Spectrum | Autism Research News

Rumbaugh, who studies how the autism-linked gene SYNGAP1 shapes brain development, describes how he has embraced coastal living and which aspects of his career he wouldn’t do over.

Posteromedial thalamic nucleus activity significantly contributes to perceptual discrimination

Higher-order sensory thalamic nuclei are densely connected with multiple cortical and subcortical areas, but their role remains elusive. This study shows that during active sensing, the posteromedial thalamic nucleus (POm) integrates information from the cortex and plays a significant role in sensory perception.
