Asymmetrical matter

https://www.mpg.de/10641091/asymmetrical-matter-brain

Our bodies, our behaviour, but also our brains are anything other than symmetrical. And that seems to be an important factor in the seamless functioning of our thought, speech and motor faculties. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen are currently searching for genetic clues for this phenomenon. They want to decode the fundamental molecular biological mechanisms that contribute to asymmetry in the brain and identify possible causes for neurological disorder.

Meet the Neanderthals

https://www.mpg.de/295278/neanderthal

Well, they actually did it. And the whole world knows about it now, even if the news is tens of thousands of years old. It was, of course, a juicy story for the world’s media: Neanderthals mated with modern humans! But for Svante Pääbo, Department Director at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, this is not the most important aspect of his discovery.
Scientists were not even sure that DNA could be extracted from mummies.

She was the first female student to be admitted to a Dutch university, the first to complete a university education and the first female physician in the Netherlands: Aletta Henriette Jacobs (1854-1929) leaves a remarkable legacy as a feminist, suffragette, pacifist, and human rights activist, who campaigned for women’s birth control rights and sexual health.

Portrait of Samuel Young

https://www.mpg.de/5548897/sam-young

In college they called him Stump – as in tree stump – because of his physique and his strong will. Today, former football player Samuel Young is a renowned neuroscientist. Using innovative tools and sophisticated techniques, he would like to find out how nerve cells communicate with one another. The head of a junior research group at the Max Planck Florida Institute is the quintessential researcher. But his career took an unconventional path.
but unfortunately, he didn’t have the same educational opportunities that he made sure

Slumbering between sky and Earth

https://www.mpg.de/10783234/frigatebirds-sleep-midflight

In humans, even a very short attack of drowsiness while driving can have fatal consequences. Frigatebirds, on the other hand, have no problems snoozing while they cruise through the air. What’s more, they generally get by on very little sleep during their long flights over the open sea, which can last for days. A team of scientists headed by Niels Rattenborg from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen has demonstrated, for the first time that birds can fly in sleep mode.
