Can the brain "speed up" the formation of long-term memory?
Research from @mpicybernetics shows the cerebral cortex can store new memories quickly, bypassing the hippocampus's long encoding process.
This discovery offers hope for Alzheimer's patients. https://t.co/0Da2Z7tuq7

What drives hasty decision-making in schizophrenia vs. delayed in OCD? @mpicybernetics is analyzing differences in dopamine.
This research could inform future mental health therapies: https://t.co/85tr1CK8PZ

New research from @mpibrain suggests that ribosomes may be assembled near the synapses of neurons—not close to the nucleus. Advanced imaging techniques reveal that neuronal processes may enable on-demand production of functional ribosomes. Learn more: https://t.co/kFYO8GVtHA

Today is a special day for us—it's #InternationalMusicDay! We investigate why and how people create art and how they perform, experience, and evaluate it, with a particular focus on #music. Learn more about our diverse #research 👉 https://t.co/6sMAfpuL2O

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

New! Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, @HelmholtzMunich & the University of Sydney found shared biological mechanisms across 3 psychiatric disorders, with noted exon level differences & disruptions in circadian rhythm, cortisol release & dopamine levels: https://t.co/pJTXtULlHc

When lean mice smell food before eating, they feel full. But this doesn’t happen in obese mice. Why? A team at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research looks to a newly found network of nerve cells for answers: https://t.co/NyeGK2Q5qO

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

How do rats sense their world? Through their whiskers! Researchers at @MPINB_outreach found that whisker movement is controlled by surprisingly diverse brain areas, including sensory and motor regions working together. Explore the research: https://t.co/sudRdw8aIW

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

Research from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in @natureneuro found a mechanism that helps maintain balance in developing brains: neurons created later in development mature faster. More at https://t.co/15Vo9nuLOb

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

Researchers at @MPFNeuro have discovered how loss of ASD-associated PTEN gene in a specific population of neurons rewires circuits in the amygdala that lead to increased fear and anxiety: https://t.co/2bgWwQXU0d

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

Newly discovered nerve cells in the brains of mice, controlled by leptin, could lead to novel obesity treatments in humans. Explore the research from @MPI_Metabolism: https://t.co/v5gE3uQ3Np

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

The creative process of AI large language models is similar to that of humans. Researchers at @MPICybernetics suggest pairing users and LLMs with similar creative processes to enhance creative collaboration: https://t.co/udrmXmQrG5

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

Environmental stressors before birth are shown to influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders. Explore newresearch from @mpi_psychiatry on how stress alters neuronal balance in the developing brain. https://t.co/tJlFt1fIpi

[MP Neuroscience @mpneuro]

Does having more neural connections lead to better learning? Not according to researchers at @MPINB_outreach. Discover why sparse brain connectivity may be a feature, not a flaw: https://t.co/uTSKfbPVwm
