Why the Brain Guzzles Fuel Even While Resting
Pound for pound, the brain consumes vastly more energy than other organs, and remains a fuel-guzzler even when neurons are not firing neurotransmitters to each other. Now researchers have found that the process of packaging neurotransmitters may be responsible for this energy drain.

Making Sense of Food Textures
Our understanding of how microscopic structure and changes in the shape of food affect the texture of food remains underdeveloped. Researchers have conducted a series of experiments relating the study of how soft solids and some liquids deform to texture.

Gut Microbiota–Amyloid Relationship May Be Mediated by Immune Cells
New research from the University of Chicago points to microglia, key immune cells in the brain, as a key mediator in the relationship between the gut microbiome and b-amyloid deposits in male mice in a model of Alzheimer’s disease.

How Expectation Shapes What We Taste
A blind taste test demonstrates that Danes prefer the taste of conventionally and organically farmed smoked salmon over wild-caught salmon. However, the picture is turned upside down the second we find out where a fish comes from.

Which Side Are You On? How the Brain Sees Borders
In the classic “Rubin’s vase” optical illusion, you can see either a vase or two faces. At any given moment, which scene you perceive depends on whether your brain is viewing the central vase shape to be the foreground or background of the picture. Now, researchers have made headway into understanding how the brain decides which side of a visual border is a foreground object and which is background.
