Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right?

Follow up scans by #Durham University researchers showed structural changes in the #brain’s visual cortex. A separate 2025 study examined how 30 million years of echolocation #evolution shaped dolphin and whale brains.

Mój mózg w nocy: Skoro Enderman umiera lub jest ranny od wody musi żywić się suchymi produktami, więc np. Suchym mlekiem, ale nie może jeść wielu rzeczy przez wodę, z drugiej strony umie nosić klocek z ziemią, a ziemia ma wodę, ale nie ma obrażeń, więc jak to działa?
Tak, oto mój mózg szukający działania Endermana i jego samego ciała jak ono powinno reagować na obecność wody, ale fakt, że umie trzymać ziemię powoduje więcej pytań

Brain and Endocrine Crosstalk
by Hemanshu Prabhakar, 2026
This book explores the physiology and neurophysiology of the endocrine system, emphasizing the intricate brain-endocrine crosstalk, from pathophysiology to clinical applications. The dynamic interplay between neural and endocrine system regulates nearly every function of human body, from metabolism and growth to circadian rhythm.

Ignorance is not a bliss - it's a missed opportunity! I'm a street dog from Madagascar. Not entirely white. Not entirely (but mostly) friendly. Not afraid of the big dogs. Rarely bark at others - unless on duty. Learned to speak last year. I let my human do the work. He's into breaking 'software' (never smelt or tasted that), feeding and walking me ...

The features we typically associate with narcissism align closely with traditional male norms. But perhaps we’ve been missing a big part of the picture. Yes, men score higher on certain narcissism traits, but women are just as susceptible. @sciencefocus@flipboard.com explains:
