How #sleep shapes what we remember—and what we forget. Researchers are starting to decode the #neural changes during sleep that underlie #LongtermMemory. A PNAS news feature: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2220275120 #neuron #synapse #hippocampus #brain

Lack of visual experience affects multimodal language production: evidence from congenitally blind and sighted people https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cogs.13228 "blind people's speech focused more on path and less on manner of motion, and encoded paths in a more segmented fashion using more landmarks and path verbs"; #blind #neuroscience #linguistics

The brain's ability to perceive space expands like the universe https://www.salk.edu/news-release/the-brains-ability-to-perceive-space-expands-like-the-universe/ "neural networks responsible for spatial perception change in a nonlinear manner"; #neuroscience

Scientists discovered why Roman buildings have survived so long. It's because they included an ingredient in their concrete – once thought to be from shoddy mixing – that helps the concrete self-heal as it cracks over time. The discovery may help future concrete mixes become self-healing and last longer.

Opinion: Here are two changes that would help make NIH grant peer review more fair, consistent, and efficient
We don’t need a redesign of the NIH grant review system. We can, however, improve matters with key adjustments implemented easily and at minimal cost. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2214028119

The human cochlea has about 30,000 nerve fibers connecting to the brain, so when rounding to the nearest approximate power of 2 one can argue that The vOICe is equivalent to a 2x 32,000 electrode brain implant with an 80+ year longevity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_nerve #auditory #neuroscience; now we just need a bit of functional rewiring through #crossmodal #plasticity
