In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might check their phone, yawn, worry about making rent, and adjust their path to avoid a puddle. The smell from a food cart could suddenly conjure a #memory from childhood, or they could notice a rat eating a slice of pizza and store the image as a new memory. #Bioengineering#Brain#Neuroscience#sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2024/03/beng03112401.html

There lies a paradox in #sleep. Its apparent tranquility juxtaposes with the brain’s bustling activity. The night is still, but the brain is far from dormant. During sleep, #brain cells produce bursts of electrical pulses that cumulate into rhythmic waves — a sign of heightened brain cell function. #Neuroscience#sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2024/02/ns02282401.html
The Gulf of Mexico is experiencing sea level rise two to three times as fast as the global average due to a combination of warmer waters and wind circulation patterns. Now, a newly released long-term study from marine scientists at The University of Texas at Austin has found rising sea levels can be linked to a loss of valuable #seagrass habitats in Texas. #Environmental#EarthScience#Ecology#ClimateChange#sflorg https://www.sflorg.com/2024/02/en02272402.html
