2025 Hughlings Jackson Lecture: The Basal Ganglia and the Motivation to Act

admin — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 21:40:52 +0000

Established in 1935, the Hughlings Jackson Lecture is The Neuro’s premier scientific lecture. It honours the legacy of British neurologist John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911) who pioneered the development of neurology as a medical specialty.

When using music to alleviate pain, tempo matters

admin — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 16:32:01 +0000

Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a ��ɫֱ�� research team has discovered.

This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient’s level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.

The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.

Saskatchewan’s first Centrosaurus and Citipes elegans fossils discovered by ��ɫֱ�� researchers

admin — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 12:36:54 +0000

Paleontologists and students from ��ɫֱ�� have documented Saskatchewan's first confirmed fossil specimens of Centrosaurus, a horned dinosaur species closely related to Triceratops.

The search, conducted in Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park along the South Saskatchewan River, also unearthed a rare mix of dinosaur and marine fossils, shedding light on a dinosaur fauna which existed on the edge of an ancient sea at a time of rising sea levels long before humans roamed the earth.

Researchers link mysterious cosmic signals to collapsed stars

An international team of scientists led by ��ɫֱ�� researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) — enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves from space — originate from neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in a supernova. This finding, based on an analysis of the radio signal of a single FRB, advances our understanding of one of the universe’s most perplexing phenomena.

Expert: Access to personal data

‘Last Ice Area’ in the Arctic could disappear much sooner than previously thought

admin — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 21:17:23 +0000

The Arctic’s “Last Ice Area” (LIA) — a vital habitat for ice-dependent species — might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to occur sometime around mid-century, a new study by ��ɫֱ�� researchers using a high-resolution model has found.

Study suggests we don’t just hear music, but ‘become it’

admin — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:56:55 +0000

An international study co-authored by ��ɫֱ�� psychologist Caroline Palmer suggests our brains and bodies don’t just understand music, they physically resonate with it. These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT).

NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain’s natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat.
