Scientists, co-led by Dr Keita Tamura, discovered previously unknown neural modules that control mouth movements. By studying how the modules interact, they hope to better understand the mechanisms of the brain through simpler interaction of the modules https://t.co/zG0MRNj7l8

Ever wondered why some Labradors are always hungry? 🐶 @EllieRaffan and her team @PDN_Cambridge have found new ‘obesity genes’ in Labradors that makes carriers prone to overeating. It also turns out the same genes can influence obesity in humans too. Read more about this study
