When Cancer Cells Become More Neuron-Like Prof. Frank Winkler explains how neuron-to-cancer communication fuels tumor growth. More neuronal input makes cancer cells more neuron-like - a trait linked to aggressive tumors. 🎙️ Watch our latest episode here: youtu.be/uMQDRzKz_cs

Do cancer cells have electrical signals? Prof. Frank Winkler explains how glioblastoma cells form neuron-to-cancer synapses that receive excitatory signals - a newly discovered way tumors communicate with the brain. 🎙️ Watch our latest episode. #CancerNeuroscience #Glioblastoma

Brain Cancer Builds Its Own Neural Network 🧠 Prof. Frank Winkler explains how #glioblastoma hijacks neural programs, builds networks, and fuels growth. This discovery is reshaping brain cancer research and may unlock treatments. Explore episode with 2025 Brain Prize winner #BrainCancer #Neuroscience

Can cancer spread be linked to sleep? Emerging research suggests circulating cancer cells may be released more during sleep, revealing a surprising link between neuroscience and cancer biology. Learn more in our full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMQD... #Cancer #Sleep #Science

Can stress influence cancer progression? Prof. Frank Winkler explains why decades of cancer neuroscience research show chronic stress can speed tumor growth and metastasis in many mouse models. Important: these animal studies do not mean stress alone causes cancer. linktr.ee/neuroscience...

🧠 Could intelligence be linked to #brain #cancer? Prof. Frank Winkler discusses an intriguing pattern seen in some population studies: #glioblastoma appears to be overrepresented among academics. Importantly, this is not an established risk factor, it's an observation that raises new questions.

What if cancer cells could communicate directly with your nervous system? Prof. Frank Winkler explains how cancer cells can form functional synapses with neurons, reshaping our understanding of cancer growth. Watch the full conversation: linktr.ee/neuroscience...

Dr. Tony Fernando asked people who knew they were nearing the end of life one simple question: "What mattered most?" Not their careers. Not their money. Not their degrees. The answer, over and over, was the people they loved, and who loved them back. A powerful reminder of what matters!

We think we need things, but it’s often just desire. We imagine owning it, feel a dopamine rush, then move on quickly. It’s usually dopamine chasing, not real need. The cycle repeats before we notice. Follow for more insights on #grasping, #mind, and #dopamine: linktr.ee/neuroscience...

Mindfulness is living in the present. But most of us overthink the future or replay the past. This creates anxiety, tension, and distraction - even in good moments. We miss what is happening right now. Watch our latest episode: linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Mindfulness #Presence

Thoughts are like soap bubbles. They appear and disappear, yet we often cling to them. Beliefs can divide us and cost us friendships. One simple truth: every thought changes. Follow for more insights on life and awareness: linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Mindfulness #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth

Our brain hide reality: Brain’s Survival Bias In this conversation, Dr. Tony Fernando explains that the brain evolved for survival - not for peace of mind. That’s why stress, uncertainty, and negative thoughts can quickly take over our attention. linktr.ee/neuroscience...

According to Dr. Tony Fernando, one of the fastest ways to help the brain adjust to a new time zone is morning light exposure. Watch our latest episode to learn about #JetLag, #SleepScience and #CircadianRhythm. linktr.ee/neuroscience...

Night Shifts: Forcing Biology Against Nature Dr. Tony Fernando explains why long-term night shift work can be so difficult for the brain and body. Shift work can affect sleep quality, mood, cognition, and even physical health because it disrupts the body’s circadian rhythm. youtu.be/kKBGTew8JGs

Are 8 hours of sleep enough? Dr. Tony Fernando describes how many people turn sleep into a performance: tracking every hour, optimizing routines, worrying about getting the “perfect” eight hours linktr.ee/neuroscience...

Stress Impacts Sleep Quality Why does stress ruin sleep? An anxious brain stays alert, making deep rest harder. Dr. Tony Fernando explains the sleep–stress connection. #Sleep #MentalHealth Full episode available here: youtu.be/kKBGTew8JGs

Sleep isn’t the brain shutting down. Psychiatrist and sleep physician Dr. Tony Fernando explains that during sleep, the brain remains highly active, it simply switches from an externally focused mode to an internally focused one. Check out the full episode here: youtu.be/kKBGTew8JGs

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 Sleep, Psyche, and the Buddhist Mind | Dr. Tony Fernando Watch our conversation with Dr. Tony Fernando on #sleep, #overthinking, #stress, and how to find calm in a fast, noisy world. #Neuroscience #Mindfulness Link: youtu.be/kKBGTew8JGs

Some neurons respond selectively to specific concepts, not just images. Nicole Rust explains that these responses emerge from integrating visual, auditory, and language information across distributed brain systems. #Neurons #Neuroscience #Memory #Cognition #BrainFunction linktr.ee/neuroscience...

Building a Better Future for Science | Challenges in Academia Are we evaluating scientists in the wrong way? Prof. Outeiro discusses publishing pressure, lack of stable careers, burnout, and why science needs more staff scientists, not only professors and PIs. youtu.be/VP7uEhdIhng

What is mood? We still can’t infer it directly from brain activity. Nicole Rust explains that mood reflects a running integration of external events and internal states like hormones and hunger, not a single neural signal. linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Mood #Neuroscience #MentalHealth

Aging may disrupt the brain’s balance of excitation and inhibition - a system critical for stable function. Nicole Rust explains how aging could impair the mechanisms that maintain this balance. linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Aging #Neuroscience #BrainHealth

How do scientists measure memory? Unlike mood, memory has objective “ground truth” - you either saw it before or you didn’t. Nicole Rust explains why that makes memory easier to study across species. linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Memory #Neuroscience

How Attention Shapes What You See Vision is not purely passive. Nicole Rust explains how attention links sensory input with task goals, comparing what you see with what you’re searching for. Find us on other platforms: linktr.ee/neuroscience... #Neuroscience #CognitiveScience #Perception

How do we actually see? Your eyes capture light - but your brain has to figure out what it means. @nicolecrust.bsky.social explains how simple signals turn into perception #Neuroscience #Vision #Perception
