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.

Ether's unique position in a world of stablecoins Thesis: Stablecoins will dominate pricing. ETH will dominate reserve. And the more stablecoins succeed, the stronger ETH’s position becomes. 1. Front-end chains give ETH cultural gravity. L2s settle to Ethereum. They adopt

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

Nature Neuroscience - Temporal integration throughout the human auditory cortex is predominantly locked to absolute time and does not vary with the duration of speech structures such as phonemes or...

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

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. 🧠🧬
🤩 New awards announcement! ✨ We're excited to announce our latest awardees who are tackling bold research that spans immunology, plant biology, and genetics. Learn more about these talented scientists below! Discover our full portfolio: https://t.co/SqXxI9Qhju 1/

4/ Awardee Andrés Bendesky investigates how genetic conflict between paternal + maternal genes 👫(known as 'genomic imprinting') evolved, & why this epigenetic phenomenon leads to developmental incompatibilities. 🎉 Congrats Dr. Bendesky! @zuckermanbrain 🙏 #HFScout @HarmitMalik
