In a study of fruit fly (Drosophila) larvae, an international team of researchers has discovered how swallowing food is linked to the release of the feel-good chemical serotonin in the brain – offering new insight into how and why animals eat. If the same mechanisms are present in humans, then this could be a fascinating insight into our own drive to consume food and drink.

Illuminating the brain through art and science

"A typical neuron makes about ten thousand connections to neighboring neurons. Given the billions of neurons, this means there are as many connections in a single cubic centimeter of brain tissue as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy." - David Eagleman

Neuroscience be like

[marejadilla]

Linda Westin "Illuminated Dendrology" "Linda Westin’s portraits of the woods are strongly influenced by her background in imaging neuroscience. Especially the way she works with color is reminiscent of this experience with fluorescence microscopy, where she illuminated neurons instead of tree branches. Now she uses a camera to bring this way of seeing from the nano world to our human scale. Revealing the unifying morphology of macrocosm and microcosm.

As above, so below. It is this integration of parallel perceptions that makes me love her art even more.

In the middle of the forest there’s an unexpected clearing which can only be found by those who have gotten lost". TOMAS TRANSTRÖMER

From conveying precise instruction to evoking entire new worlds, words and their meanings are central to our existence as humans. But how the multitude of cells making up a human brain take abstract noises or symbols and convert them into something with meaning has long been a mystery. New techniques that can track brain activity down to a single neuron are now revealing exactly where this sound translation takes place within our minds.
