If you don’t understand how humans’ #brains work then how can you ever hope to convince them to do anything? Like to buy, or sell, or read our review of @LisaCron’s #StoryOrDie for example? (see what we did there?): http://the-agency-review.com/story-or-die #writing #story #marketing #neuroscience

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧠💀 More than 4,400 ancient #brains survived intact for up to 12,000 years.
Researchers buried #mouse carcasses under different conditions and found brains in wet, low-oxygen settings stopped decaying. The #chemistry, involving free radicals bonding with #proteins, mirrors processes linked to brain #aging and #disease.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧠⏳ Scientists kept #stemcell-grown brain #organoids alive for nearly six years, the longest yet, and found they matured much like real human #brains.
Brain #cells carry an internal clock that records developmental age, shown when reassembled "chimeroids" remembered their prior stage and skipped completed steps. The #research opens a window into the hard-to-study #development of the human brain after #birth.

Scientists Gave #Mice #Cocaine. This Is What It Did to Their #Brains
Researchers found that a single dose left persistent changes to the #genomes of #neurons, a discovery that could have implications for treating #addiction
Suggest cocaine, #drug used by ~25M people, may rewire the genomes inside cells of the brain’s reward system, called dopaminergic neurons. Sheds light on mechanisms that drive addiction, and possibly inform treatments in humans.

Here's that second study mentioned in the show. Expert birders have different brains ("more structurally compact attention- and perception-related brain areas") compared with beginner birders of matching age and gender.

🎩🤖 Ah, behold the latest stroke of genius: an article questioning if #AI is #reasoning for the "wrong reasons"—as if anyone expected #silicon #brains to be experts in philosophy! Just what we needed, a deep dive into the #existential #musings of algorithms, because pondering a toaster's motives is definitely the pinnacle of #modern #science. 📚🔍

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ✍️🧠 A new study challenges the idea that people are born with a skilled dominant hand, showing instead that hand dominance develops through repeated practice.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins and UCLA found that when tasks are novel both hands perform equally well, and that hand preference comes first and skill follows, not the reverse.
