🐁How do animals move – and what can these movements tell us about the #brain? 🧠
Researchers at the #UniCologne have developed an AI-based method that can accurately reconstruct missing motion-tracking data in animals. The new #technology DISK (“Deep Imputation for Skeleton Data”) enables more precise analysis of complex behavior, even when recordings are incomplete.

👀 If you could see microplastics, you would see them EVERYWHERE.
Microplastics have been found in the 🌬️air we breathe, the 🍏food we eat, and even in 🫁organs and 🩸blood.
The only way to reduce microplastics is to cut plastic production.

THIS COVER IMAGE DEPICTS A HUMAN BRAIN WITH COLORFUL MICROPLASTIC PARTICLES SCATTERED ACROSS ITS SURFACE, JUXTAPOSED WITH A WHITE PLASTIC SPOON AS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION. RESEARCH
HAS REVEALED THAT THE HUMAN BRAIN CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY "A SPOON'S WORTH" OF MICROPLASTICS AND #NANOPLASTICS, WITH PARTICULARLY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS (3-5 TIMES GREATER) IN INDIVIDUALS WITH DEMENTIA.

Fun Fit Fact! ⏰
As we age, we lose power (strength plus speed) at twice the rate of strength alone.
▶️ Watch my amazing rockSTARs (ages 65 to 94) at the Milano Senior Center in Melrose MA demonstrate a few power moves.
Why Power Training Matters:
▪️ Improved Reaction Time — helps prevent falls
🧠 #Brain Boost — may support cognitive #health
👊🏽 Fights #Sarcopenia — combats age related muscle loss
😅 And yes… it is #fun too!

Japanese researchers have found that people who experience COVID-19 “brain fog” have a higher-than-usual density of a certain neural receptor, a discovery that could pave the way for treatment options. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/24/japan/science-health/covid-brain-fog-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #covid19 #brain #health

GenAI and what it does to the brain.
Truly excellent "long read" article about genAI and what it does to those who come to rely on it. Well researched, with insightful quotes from thoughtful people.
Good science/tech journalism used to be like that, but on AI topics this has become rare. So much easier for the salaried writer of a mainstream paper just to follow the hype.
The author, Sophie McBain, is listed as a "freelance writer" for Guardian, Times and New Statesman. I am glad she's kept her free mind.
