No brain? No problem! A simple single-celled organism without a brain or neurons appears to be capable of an advanced form of learning. Meet Stentor coeruleus. t.co/51azt7sF3t
Why can amphibians regrow lost limbs while mammals can't? Researchers discovered lowering oxygen levels or targeting the oxygen-sensing protein HIF1A awakens latent regenerative abilities in mammalian cells.! news.epfl.ch/news/when-ox...

Our thread on the newly published brain and nerve cord #BANC #connectome, and what #neuroscience stories we can tell with it.
Researchers at EPFL have discovered how oxygen-sensing explains why amphibians regenerate limbs and mammals do not.

New open access from @MITPress Bridging the gap between information science, biological evolution, and the deep questions of philosophy? Real Patterns—to the roadmap laid out by Daniel Dennett—is out now. @philiplaughlin.bsky.social
direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edi...
Open-access release of @MITPress's new volume on Dennett’s Real Patterns: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edi...
It's the perfect primer for our forthcoming volume, "Embodied Intelligence" (out June 23rd!)

How do our cells organize their “second genome”? Scientists solved a century-old mystery: a temporary shape change called "mitochondrial pearling" evenly distributing mitochondrial DNA. Could unlock new insights into aging and neurodegenerative diseases! actu.epfl.ch/news/how-mit...
Does the body really keep the score? Steven Kotler & Karl Friston argues trauma isn’t stored in tissues. It’s a prediction error—the brain gets stuck in rigid threat expectations. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sys...
