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...

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...

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

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...
Just published yesterday, the #BANC! A full central nervous system (CNS) connectome of a limbed animal enables us to trace sensory-motor arcs and understand how the CNS controls the body. https://t.co/19jmEfxEVH #neuroscience @Nature, Video by @quorumetrix, sound on! 1/18 https://t.co/I0BJGfHgDm
EPFL scientists discover that a simple shape change in mitochondria helps cells evenly distribute their mitochondrial DNA, solving a long-standing puzzle.
