Sciencedaily.com 

An internationally collaborative study delves into how fluctuating rainfall impacts the development of sea turtle hatchlings, revealing that it has a more profound effect than changes in air temperature.

Prioritizing the unexpected: New brain mechanism uncovered

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus, work together to detect discrepancies between what animals expect from their environment and actual events. These prediction errors are implemented by selective boosting of unexpected sensory information. These findings enhance our understanding of predictive processing in the brain and could offer insights into how brain circuits are altered in autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

When it comes to the amount of RAM (which Apple refers to as “unified memory” in its A- and M-series chips) in Apple iPhones, iPads, and Macs, there has been a disconnect over what users want (more) and what Apple thinks you need (less).
