Do you lecture in a university?

Consider helping my PhD student who is developing a questionnaire and looking at how individual differences impact the way that we choose to use humour in our teaching.

Please share as widely as possible 🙏

How Repetition Solidifies Memory

A new study found that repetitive practice significantly changes the brain's memory pathways, enhancing skill improvement.

Researchers trained mice to recall odor sequences, observing that memory representations in the secondary motor cortex became stable with practice.

Using a novel microscope, they tracked neural activity in 73,000 neurons, revealing how practice solidifies memory patterns.

These findings could help develop treatments for memory-related disorders.

In age of Fermi, claims were modest, truths were discovered and readily replicated.
But in Epistemically Hostile environment the opposite holds: bold claims, not justified by evidence; when not much to be discovered!
