Arboreal origin of consonants and thus, ultimately, speech

Just like how a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, speech as we know it has its own origin story. While most primates communicate using vowel-like calls, the introduction of consonant-like calls was a game-changer. The prevalence of these consonants across great apes hints at an interesting connection to their arboreal lifestyle and extractive foraging habits. […]

Neurocognitive, physiological, and biophysical effects of transcranial alternating current stimulation

Just like the ebb and flow of waves on a beach, the balance between excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the brain creates rhythmic neural oscillations. These oscillations play a vital role in various physiological and behavioral processes that shape our perception, movement, and thinking abilities. Abnormal patterns of these brain waves have been linked to […]
