Dive into the fascinating world of neuroscience in this eye-opening episode as we explore key findings from the Live Science article, "15 Times the Brain Blew Our Minds in 2024." Join us as we uncover the most intriguing brain research of the year, spanning topics from hormonal cycles to the potential consciousness of lab-grown minibrains.
We’ll discuss how the brain is anything but static, with studies revealing dynamic changes influenced by factors like hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy. Discover how daily testosterone cycles affect male brain volume and why pregnancy leads to significant gray matter loss—hinting at a brain "pruning" process for greater efficiency.
But that’s just the beginning! We’ll delve into groundbreaking research that sheds light on the brain’s inner workings. Learn how watching movies activates 24 distinct brain networks and how a simple circuit of three neurons drives our urge to eat. Plus, we’ll explore the astonishing idea that our brains may store multiple copies of every memory, opening doors to new treatments for memory disorders.
We’ll also push the boundaries of what neuroscience can achieve, discussing the ethical implications of consciousness in lab-grown brains, the transformative effects of psilocybin on self-awareness, and the milestone of 3D-printed functional brain tissue capable of communication.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
