A specific odour of sweaty toes.

📢Hot off the press: "Neuronal correlates of sleep in honey bees"

#CalciumImaging🔬 in sleeping #bees🐝: Antennal lobe neurons synchronise stronger during #sleep, likely due to reduced GABAergic coupling. #SNN💻 simulations show reduced #odour processing, similar to human sleep😴.

This is the universe … Big, isn’t it?

A dying man recites poetry … a clock tells an unrecognisable time … a neurologist observes the listener through the dark eye of a camera obscura … strange beginnings to an extraordinary motion picture.

Spoilers follow. If you have never seen the film: please, watch, before reading.

We are getting closer to solving the great mystery of #olfaction research:

How to predict the #odour of a molecule based on its chemical structure?

Graphical neural networks (#GNNs) can predict the odour characterisation of a molecule by a group of human experts.

Exposure to other people’s sweat could help reduce #social #anxiety, study finds | Anxiety | The Guardian

Exposure to chemo-signals from body #odour enhances response to mindfulness therapy, trial suggests

«Vigna said: “We were a little surprised to find that the emotional state of the person producing the #sweat didn’t differ in treatment outcomes: sweat produced while someone was happy had the same effect as someone who had been scared by a movie clip.»
