Why study the brain? We asked students, professors and administrators at our neuroscience institute. Their response: understanding this extraordinary organ is key to understanding ourselves, tackling devastating diseases like Alzheimer’s and building a better future for us all.

What happens when you listen to speech a different speeds? Does your brain change its processing speed too? It turns out, no @SamNormanH & researchers at @ZuckermanBrain found the auditory part of the brain keeps clocking in at a fixed time @NatureNeuro

How does hunger spur us to consume? @Columbia scientists have found a brain area that drives mice to consume sweets, fats, salt & food. This finding may inform novel treatments for both overeating and undereating. See @CellCellPress #neuroscience https://t.co/PRVLrcIejg

Congratulations to Andrés Bendesky on being awarded a @HypothesisFund seed grant! He’s asking why some of an animal’s genes are switched on and others off, depending on which parent the genes came from. And how evolution shapes this phenomenon, called genetic imprinting. 🧠🧬
