Why do some toddlers nap like champs while others refuse entirely? In Part 1 of our Napping Spectacular, Craig and Arielle unpack what the science says about total sleep needs, how nap patterns change across infancy and early childhood, and the very real “art” of troubleshooting naps at home. We cover when to drop naps, how brain development (especially the hippocampus) affects nap transitions, what to do about short naps, and how to keep daytime sleep from stealing restorative overnight sleep. We also talk through safe approaches to contact naps and why it's normal for newborns to have unpredictable naps and periods of crying. Key takeaways Think in 24 hours: aim to balance daytime sleep with restorative overnight sleep. AASM consensus ranges: infants 4–12 mo (12–16 h), toddlers 1–2 y (11–14 h), preschoolers 3–5 y (10–13 h), school-age 6–12 y (9–12 h), teens 13–18 y (8–10 h). Nap transitions are tied to brain maturity; as memory systems develop, many preschoolers naturally nap less. Typical goals for many infants: at least two naps of ~1 hour each and ~10 hours overnight (individual needs vary). Independent sleep skills are the linchpin for extending naps beyond a single 30–45 minute sleep cycle. Watch sleepy cues, but remember boredom can masquerade as tiredness in older infants. Contact napping can be soothing, but it's risky if the caregiver is truly exhausted—prioritize safe sleep. Newborn naps are erratic; you can practice gentle routines, but you can't “schedule” a newborn. Consistency across naps and nights helps babies learn faster than a mix-and-match approach.

An absorbing conversation featuring Colin Camerer (CASBS fellow, 1997-98), among the world's most accomplished scholars in both behavioral economics and neuroeconomics, with economist Stephanie Wang (2024-25). Camerer discusses his groundbreaking work on the neuroeconomics of self-control and habit formation; offers insights on generating ideas for, building, then scaling behavioral models; and explains why neuroscience remains a wide-open field awaiting the contributions of so-far mostly reluctant economists and other social scientists.COLIN CAMERER: Caltech faculty page | Camerer research group | on Google Scholar | Wikipedia page | bio at the Decision Lab | bio at MacArthur Foundation | STEPHANIE WANG: Pitt faculty page | Personal website | on Google Scholar | CASBS bio |Works discussed or mentioned in this episode:C.

On a warm, overcast summer's day of 1901, two English school mistresses strolled through the gardens of Versailles, unaware they were about to step into a defining moment in their lives. One minute in the present and the next in the past, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain claimed to have crossed into a spectral vision of the court of Marie Antoinette. What began as a genteel outing quickly turned uncanny, with silent figures, oppressive stillness, and an inexplicable sense of dread creeping over their heads. Was it imagination, delusion, a ghostly breach in reality or simply a fancy dress party run amok?SOURCES Morison, Elizabeth & Lamont, Frances & (1913) The Adventure. Macmillan & Co. LTD. London, UK.

John is joined by Quinn Emanuel partners Dave Nelson and Alex Lasher.  They discuss the landmark victory Dave and Alex's team won for Samsung Display before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in a trade secrets case against Chinese competitor, BOE Technology Group.  The ITC is an independent quasi-judicial agency of the federal government that, among other duties, adjudicates claims regarding unfair trade practices, including intellectual property infringement.  Monetary damages are not available in ITC proceedings.  However, the ITC can provide powerful injunctive relief by issuing exclusion orders that stop all infringing products from entering the U.S. at the border.  These exclusion orders make the ITC a strategic venue for intellectual property disputes involving imported goods.  Although trade secret cases at the ITC are not new, they have become more prominent in the last decade. The ITC process differs significantly from federal court litigation.  Proceedings are accelerated and are led by an administrative law judge and a third-party staff attorney who acts as a neutral participant.  ITC staff may conduct discovery, cross-examine witnesses, and submit their own briefs, making trial preparation especially complex.  There are no juries. This case involved accusations that BOE misappropriated dozens of trade secrets related to OLED display technologies used in phones, TVs, and micro displays.  BOE used these stolen trade secrets to manufacture competing products and import them into the U.S. for several years. Discovery in the case was complicated by both the legal obstacles to taking discovery of a Chinese company and language barriers, with Samsung's internal documents largely in Korean and BOE's in Chinese.  The team faced additional challenges defining the trade secrets at issue with sufficient specificity early in the case—a prerequisite for discovery.  Another major hurdle was proving that Samsung maintained a “domestic industry” in the U.S. worthy of protection under ITC rules—a jurisdictional requirement. Despite these difficulties, the administrative law judge issued a 15-year exclusion order covering all BOE OLED display products, effectively barring them from the U.S. market.  The team's trial efforts were bolstered by a pre-trial sanctions order against BOE for discovery misconduct.  The case demonstrates how IP litigation at the ITC can create enormous commercial leverage and underscores the critical role expert testimony and meticulous trial preparation play in high-stakes trade secret disputes. Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview three high school students who made less invasive EoE diagnostics the focus of a science fair project. Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers. Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:51] Co-host Ryan Piansky introduces the episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda. Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz.   [1:08] Holly introduces today's guests, three high school students from Texas who made EoE diagnostics the focus of a science fair project: Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden.   [1:47] Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden are best friends. Nhu was diagnosed with EoE last summer. Leyna said Nhu told them it took a long time for the doctors to diagnose her because they thought it could be different conditions.   [2:07] Nhu told them about her appointments and her endoscopy procedures. She had to miss school sometimes. Leyna and Jaden were concerned for her.   [2:22] Leyna took AP Bio. Her teacher was a sponsor for the science fair. Leyna thought this would be a meaningful project for the three friends to learn more about Nhu's condition.    [2:45] Holly shares that she wasn't diagnosed until her 20s, but she was sick for much of her childhood.   [3:13] Ryan shares that he was diagnosed when he was two, after two years of his parents taking him to different doctors and undergoing different tests.   [3:31] Nhu says it was hard to find a specialist. They found one and had to wait six months for an appointment. It was a long time, suffering from the effects of EoE with constant symptoms, a lot of heartburn, and painful vomiting.   [4:00] Nhu was diagnosed with EoE in her sophomore year of high school. Her friends have seen her endure a lot, but she's strong. Nhu had to miss an orchestra concert where she had a big solo, because of her EoE.   [4:32] Doctors thought Nhu could have something different, like H. Pylori or cyclic vomiting syndrome. They didn't have clear answers, which was confusing and frustrating for her family.   [4:50] Holly talks about how difficult it was for her to get a diagnosis, and how she was told she was vomiting to get attention. She shared her reaction when diagnosed. She would like someone to do a research study about the pain tolerance of people with EoE.   [5:41] Leyna says junior year is the hardest year of high school. She doesn't know how Nhu survived physics and AP classes with EoE on top of it, and making up late work.   [6:14] Nhu takes a weekly injection. Her symptoms happen almost monthly. Sometimes she misses school for two weeks and has to catch up on work. Leyna and Jaden help her with her schoolwork.   [6:47] Ryan shared how he missed a third of his senior year in high school. He's now on an injectable biologic that has helped him a lot. That treatment option wasn't available when he was in high school. Having supportive friends to send him his schoolwork and keep him up-to-date was very helpful.   [7:11] Ryan explains the esophageal string test (EST). This is a tool that was developed to help monitor eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The test works by having the patient swallow a capsule about the size of a Tic Tac that has a string attached.   [7:25] The capsule dissolves in the stomach while the string stays in place in the esophagus. After about an hour, it's gently removed. Along the way, the string collects samples from the lining of the esophagus, which are reviewed, similarly to a biopsy.   [7:37] Holly adds that what makes the string test unique is that it doesn't require an endoscope, anesthesia, or recovery time, things that usually come with a traditional endoscopy and biopsy.   [7:46] It's now being used with patients as young as four years old. While some people might feel some minor discomfort, it's generally much easier for regular monitoring than an endoscopy.   [7:57] Holly explains that she was involved in testing the device and developing a swallowing protocol for it at Children's Hospital of Colorado. We will talk more about this later in the episode.   [8:06] Ryan adds, to learn more about the development of the string test, listen to episode 26 of this podcast.   [8:10] The string test is one of multiple, less-invasive monitoring tools for eosinophilic esophagitis. Others include the sponge test and unsedated trans-nasal endoscopy.   [8:19] To learn more about unsedated transnasal endoscopy, listen to episodes 19 and 20, where we talk to clinicians and patients about this method.   [8:27] During that episode, we talked to the developers of the EST.   [8:38] Jaden tells how he, Leyna, and Nhu brainstormed ideas and decided to base their project specifically on how to diagnose EoE in a less invasive way than endoscopies.   [9:12] Before this project, they were not familiar with the EST. Nhu says her only option for diagnosis was an endoscopy.   [9:21] Holly says it's still like that in Maine. She came from an area of the country where the EST was researched, and it's interesting to her that she doesn't have access to it now.   [9:37] What appealed to the group about the EST as an alternative to endoscopies is that it was so different. There are so many advanced technologies, and the EST is just a capsule taped to a string. It is simple but innovative.   [10:13] Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases had Drs. Robin Shandas and Steven Ackerman, who were instrumental in the development of the esophageal string test, as guests on episode 26 of this podcast. Ryan encourages listeners to check out that episode at apfed.org/podcasts.   [10:42] They searched for keywords and analyzed a variety of scholarly literature. They collected a lot of data from Dr. Ackerman's papers.   [11:10] They also reached out to gastroenterologists on social media. A hard thing about science fair projects is coming up with an experiment. They didn't know what they could do just with compiled research, but they had a great sponsor who helped along the way.   [11:56] Leyna says they trusted that the doctors they reached out to on social media were competent in their understanding of different diagnostic methods. She notes that different locations may have different resources and different biases.   [12:14] Leyna says they talked to doctors in the U.S. and from different countries, including India and Mexico. She commented that communities in Mexico might not have the same resources as communities in the U.S. or India. That might change their understanding of the EST.   [12:33] We might have different biases because we don't have the same technology to research and find the same things about the EST.   [13:12] Leyna says they reached out to doctors on social media, but didn't get responses from that many doctors. Reaching out to patients would be a good thing if they want to continue the project.   [14:00] Jaden says most of the data they found was from Dr. Ackerman, including a survey he did comparing the data of the EST and the biopsies.   [14:10] They found that the EST and the biopsies were relatively similar in terms of discovering the eosinophilic count and determining whether the EoE is active or inactive.   [15:30] They found differences between ESTs and biopsies in finding how much of a certain chemical is in the patient's cells.   [14:43] Leyna comments that one of the doctors they reached out to told them about the sponge test, another less invasive method. They didn't research the sponge test, but it sounded interesting.   [15:00] Ryan says there are a lot of cool new techniques that are being researched, like the transnasal endoscopy that goes in through the nose, the string test, and the sponge test.   [15:13] Leyna says the cool thing was hearing about all these methods. They had hypothesized that there are less invasive methods that may be better than endoscopies.   [15:27] They were not able to prove their hypothesis yet. They learned a lot of different things that could be beneficial.   [15:42] Holly points out that the transnasal endoscopy is not scary. It's also known as the unsedated endoscopy. Holly has done both the EST and the unsedated endoscopy,  and they each have pluses and minuses.   [16:15] Nhu explains how the team would meet at one of their houses, usually Leyna's house. One day, they watched Interstellar together, and the “Eureka moment” scene motivated them.   [16:41] They helped each other whenever necessary. When the project board was due, they all went to Leyna's house to work on the project board. They worked together as a team.   [16:51] Jaden analyzed a lot of the data. Leyna reached out to professors. Nhu helped Jaden understand some terms. On the day they presented the project, Nhu was sick in the hospital, which made them sad. They included a photo of her on the project board.   [17:28] Holly says that although Nhu wasn't there, it may have helped people know how sick EoE can make you feel.   [18:28] Leyna says one of the doctors they reached through social media told them that endoscopies have lots of benefits. The biopsy samples give healthcare professionals a clear idea of how many eosinophils per high-powered field, a key indicator in diagnosing EoE.   [18:57] The diagnosis gives a baseline for starting treatment for the patient, monitoring how effective the treatment is. You can't count the number of eosinophils per high-powered field using the string test.   [19:11] The EST is a gelatin capsule attached to a long string that you swallow. It dissolves in the stomach. It's less expensive than an endoscopy.   [19:33] Holly says one of the big differences is that you can't diagnose EoE on a string test. It has to be diagnosed with an endoscopy.   [19:40] Leyna says they learned that from the doctors and medical students who reviewed their project board. You can't diagnose EoE with the EST, but you can monitor it.   [19:52] The string test doesn't provide a direct eosinophil count, but it reflects the level of inflammation in your esophagus, and it can measure the protein biomarkers. That correlates with the eosinophil count from a biopsy. It is good for monitoring EoE.   [20:12] Ryan says that's a great idea. In the show notes, there is a link to the diagnostic consensus guidelines. They specify that you need an endoscopy and 15 eosinophils per high-powered field to be diagnosed with EoE.   [20:28] The EST can monitor the progression of the disorder as you're trying new medicines or an elimination diet. If you need an endoscopy every three to six months, it can be taxing.    [20:49] Ryan comments on the cost. Going through anesthesia for an endoscopy is very expensive, and not everyone has the insurance to cover these diagnostic procedures. The EST is an option you can do in a doctor's office in just over an hour.   [21:16] Holly asks if Nhu has participated in a string test. Nhu has not, but she would love to do a string test if she had the chance. Whenever she sees her doctor, she brings up her condition, and what could be better for her, such as the string test.   [22:06] The science fair is a huge regional fair in Houston, called the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH). This was their first year participating. They were regional qualifiers from their district. When they got there, everyone else had six-foot-tall printed boards. It was a shock to them.   [22:56] They hope to level up their board for next year's fair. It was cool and eye-opening to see all these student researchers and get feedback from the people who walked by their booth. They heard some interesting things to use in their next project.   [23:15] One medical student in attendance came by their project board and suggested that while the EST may not diagnose EoE, maybe it could be used as a screening tool [to help identify people who should follow up with a gastroenterologist for a diagnostic work-up]. Interestingly, this was a medical student, and she had recently scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy to see if she has EoE.   [24:04] This student didn't seem to know much about EoE, but felt she was experiencing symptoms that might indicate EoE. She told them she had learned so much from their board. Ryan says it's great that the project was able to help this person.   [24:44] Jaden says that the students at their school didn't know much about EoE, but when they looked at the project board, they were shocked by how incredibly difficult it is to diagnose EoE and how the EST could change a lot of things as a screening method.   [25:11] Jaden says their science teacher came by to see their board and how they were doing. He liked how they included not only the research information but also the stories of why they chose their project and why they were passionate about it.   [25:34] The day of the project, Leyna and Jaden were sad that Nhu couldn't be there with them. Their sponsor, Leyna's biology teacher, was sick, but showed up at the fair to view their presentation. They raised awareness about EoE. People learned about it.   [25:54] When Nhu told Leyna about her EoE, Leyna had no idea what it was. She's glad their project brought the issue to the table. They emphasized that more research needs to be done. There is much we don't know about less invasive methods.   [26:23] Nhu has considered a career in medicine since she has been in many hospitals and talked to a lot of doctors. Jaden sees himself in the engineering field, but he enjoys researching like this and seeing things through a different perspective.   [27:05] Nhu learned a lot about herself with EoE. Leyna loves how much they learned from this project. She is interested in pursuing scientific research. She thinks it's cool that Ryan is a graduate student.   [27:24] Leyna just got back from a five-week summer research program. It was insightful. She doesn't see herself becoming a doctor, but possibly doing research and advocating for different conditions.   [27:43] When Ryan was in high school, with all his hospital time, he had an interest in medicine, then he took a turn into engineering. He enjoys research. He's passionate about engaging in patient advocacy work through APFED.   [28:10] Ryan is glad for Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden that they were able to engage with this research and do it as a group and as friends. He says it's fantastic to hear from the group about the whole process they went through.   [28:23] Holly asks, looking back on everything you guys learned and experienced in this project, what's one question or idea you would still like to explore if you had more time and resources?   [28:38] Nhu wants to research finding more ways to diagnose EoE. Testing for EoE and finding EoE are very interesting for her.   [28:53] Jaden thinks that if they had more time, they would try to create a model of the EST to show how it works. He would possibly try to improve upon the model or develop something new. Instead of just relying on the data we have, he would try to collect data.   [29:26] Leyna agrees. She would like to build a prototype, understand how the capsule works, and find out whether the string down the esophagus is uncomfortable.   [33:41] Ryan suggests there is a doctor who would let them try the string test so they could see how it feels. Holly tried the string test at a major children's hospital while it was being researched. She doesn't want to ask her patients to do something she hasn't done, since she has the diagnosis too.   [30:37] Ryan comments that he enjoyed hearing about the process of the project.   [30:51] Ryan gives a quick recap: The esophageal string test is a tool to help monitor EoE. It is not a tool to diagnose EoE. If you or a loved one has EoE or suspect that you might, ask your clinician about the string test to see if it's an option for you.   [31:03] Holly adds: School science fairs are one way to bring education about eosinophilic disorders to schools. We love hearing about community science fairs and school projects that teach others about these conditions.   [31:13] For those of you looking to learn more about eosinophilic esophagitis, we encourage you to visit apfed.org/EoE.   [31:23] For those looking to find specialists who treat EoE, we encourage you to use APFED's Specialist Finder at apfed.org/specialist.   [31:30] Ryan thanks Leyna, Nhu, and Jaden for joining us today. Holly also thanks APFED's Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda for supporting this episode.   Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Robin Shandas Dr. Steven Ackerman “Updated international consensus diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic esophagitis: Proceedings of the AGREE conference”   APFED on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases Podcast apfed.org/specialist apfed.org/connections   Education Partners: This episode of APFED's podcast is brought to you thanks to the support of Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda.   Tweetables:   “Nhu and Jaden are my best friends. Recently, Nhu was diagnosed with EoE. I remember her telling us about the long diagnosis process. It took the doctors quite a long time to diagnose her because they thought it could be different conditions.” — Leyna   “I thought that this would be a meaningful project for us to learn more about Nhu's condition [of EoE].” — Leyna   “The students at our school didn't know much about EoE, but when they looked at the project board, they were shocked by how incredibly difficult it is to diagnose EoE.” — Jaden   “One of the main benefits of the string test is that endoscopies can be quite expensive, especially the anesthesia. It could be beneficial for people who don't have the money for an endoscopy.” — Nhu

In this episode of SpaceTime, we celebrate a major milestone in exoplanet discoveries, unravel the enigmatic surface of Venus, and delve into the intriguing tale of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS.Exoplanet Count Surpasses 6,000Astronomers have reached an impressive milestone, confirming their 6,000th exoplanet, a testament to the rapid pace of discoveries since the first detection of an exoplanet in 1995. This milestone not only highlights the evolving understanding of our galaxy but also raises questions about the myriad of planetary types discovered, from rocky planets to gas giants. While the hunt for Earth-like planets continues, the methods employed to discover these distant worlds remain a challenge, with fewer than 100 exoplanets directly imaged to date. The future holds promise with upcoming missions, including NASA's Nancy Chris Roman Space Telescope, which aims to further uncover the secrets of our cosmic neighbourhood.Decoding Venus's Mysterious SurfaceScientists are making strides in understanding the peculiar features of Venus, particularly the crown-like structures known as coronae. A new study suggests these features may be the result of magma plumes attempting to break through the planet's crust. By mapping the paths of these magmatic bursts, researchers are shedding light on Venus's geological history and its stark contrast to Earth, despite their similarities in size and formation. The findings could help explain why Venus has become a hellish environment, devoid of life, while Earth thrives.Interstellar Comet 3I ATLASAstronomers have captured stunning new images of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS, revealing a prominent tail and glowing coma as it journeys through the inner solar system. These observations provide valuable insights into the comet's composition and behaviour, suggesting that it shares similarities with comets originating from our own solar system. As 3I ATLAS approaches the Sun, its increasing activity offers a unique opportunity for scientists to study material that formed around distant stars. The comet is expected to re-emerge in November, promising further observations and discoveries.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNASA Exoplanet Science Institutehttps://exoplanets.nasa.gov/Proceedings of the National Academy of Scienceshttps://www.pnas.org/Gemini Observatoryhttps://www.gemini.edu/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Exoplanet Count Surpasses 6,000Decoding Venus's Mysterious SurfaceInterstellar Comet 3I ATLAS

Breastmilk is Dynamic Cellular and transcriptional diversity over the course of human lactation This recent 2022 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Nyqiust and colleagues is a site for sore eyes. It offers a remarkable, high-resolution portrait of how the cellular landscape of human breast milk (hBM) shifts over time. The authors capture something both scientifically rich and uniquely human: the dynamic, living composition of milk as it adapts to the changing needs of mother and child. The abstract: "Human breast milk is a dynamic fluid that contains millions of cells, but their identities and phenotypic properties are poorly understood. We generated and analyzed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to characterize the transcriptomes of cells from hBM across lactational time from 3 to 632 d postpartum in 15 donors. We found that the majority of cells in hBM are lactocytes, a specialized epithelial subset, and that cell-type frequencies shift over the course of lactation, yielding greater epithelial diversity at later points. Analysis of lactocytes reveals a continuum of cell states characterized by transcriptional changes in hormone-, growth factor-, and milk production-related pathways. Generalized additive models suggest that one subcluster, LC1 epithelial cells, increases as a function of time postpartum, daycare attendance, and the use of hormonal birth control. We identify several subclusters of macrophages in hBM that are enriched for tolerogenic functions, possibly playing a role in protecting the mammary gland during lactation. Our description of the cellular components of breast milk, their association with maternal–infant dyad metadata, and our quantification of alterations at the gene and pathway levels provide a detailed longitudinal picture of hBM cells across lactational time. This work paves the way for future investigations of how a potential division of cellular labor and differential hormone regulation might be leveraged therapeutically to support healthy lactation and potentially aid in milk production."

Toads continue to amaze us - this time they are using their sense of the Earth's magnetic field to find their way home. But how important this sense is for cane toads as they travel home from long journeys, and how much are they relying on their sense of smell, was a mystery, until a clever new study tested the toads. Then we briefly touch on how pythons digest bones so successfully. Main Paper References: Fernandez RC, Sotelo MI. 2025.

Plate tectonics tells us all about how the continents are drifting along at a centimeter or two a year, ever so gradually reshaping the surface of the earth, remaking the ocean floor, and causing earthquakes and volcanoes the world over. But what if it went a lot faster? In this episode, Todd and Paul chat with geophysicist Sarah Peterson about the CATASTROPHIC version of plate tectonics that has become the leading model of how the Flood happened. Sarah walks us through both the basic concepts of tectonics and how Catastrophic Plate Tectonics explains even more than the slow, conventional version. If you've ever wondered how volcanoes, earthquakes, and continental drift fit in the creation model, this episode is for you!Papers mentioned in this episodePetersen, Sarah and Baumgardner, John (2023) "Catastrophic Plate Tectonics and the Tectonics of Western North America," Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism: Vol. 9, Article 33.DOI: 10.15385/jpicc.2023.9.1.54Available at: https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/icc_proceedings/vol9/iss1/33Austin, Steven A.; Baumgardner, John R.; Humphreys, D.

Pendant longtemps, les neurosciences ont cherché à répondre à une question à la fois biologique et culturelle : le cerveau des hommes est-il différent de celui des femmes ? Des siècles de stéréotypes ont alimenté l'idée que le genre déterminait des aptitudes naturelles distinctes — logique pour les uns, intuition pour les autres, langage d'un côté, orientation spatiale de l'autre. Mais que dit la science aujourd'hui ? Le cerveau a-t-il un genre ?Des différences anatomiques… en moyenneOui, des différences existent entre les cerveaux masculins et féminins, mais elles sont statistiques et non déterminantes. En moyenne, le cerveau des hommes est environ 10 % plus volumineux, ce qui s'explique par leur corpulence plus importante. Certaines régions peuvent aussi différer légèrement : l'amygdale (impliquée dans la gestion des émotions) ou l'hippocampe (mémoire) présentent des variations de taille selon le sexe. Mais ces écarts ne suffisent pas à prédire les comportements ou les aptitudes. La plupart de ces différences sont faibles, avec de grandes variations individuelles.L'étude fondatrice : pas de “cerveau masculin” ou “féminin”Une avancée majeure vient de l'étude de Daphna Joel, neuroscientifique à l'Université de Tel-Aviv, publiée en 2015 dans la revue Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). En analysant les IRM de plus de 1 400 cerveaux, elle a montré que la grande majorité des cerveaux humains sont des “mosaïques”. Autrement dit, chaque cerveau présente des caractéristiques tantôt plus fréquentes chez les femmes, tantôt chez les hommes, sans configuration typiquement masculine ou féminine.Biologie et culture : un cerveau plastiqueLe cerveau est hautement plastique : il se modifie tout au long de la vie en fonction des expériences, de l'éducation, de la langue, des métiers exercés… Ce que l'on observe comme différences cérébrales pourrait donc être en partie le résultat de l'environnement social, et non l'inverse.Par exemple, l'activation plus fréquente de certaines zones lors d'activités linguistiques chez les femmes a longtemps été interprétée comme une différence innée. Or, des études plus récentes montrent que l'exposition précoce au langage, les attentes éducatives ou les modèles familiaux influencent la spécialisation cérébrale.En résuméLe cerveau humain n'a pas de genre binaire. Il existe des différences moyennes entre les sexes, mais elles sont faibles, non exclusives, et fortement modulées par l'expérience. La recherche actuelle privilégie donc l'idée d'un continuum cérébral, où chaque individu développe un profil unique, largement façonné par l'interaction entre biologie et environnement.Autrement dit : le genre n'est pas câblé dans le cerveau — il est vécu, appris, et transformé.

The greatest threat to human health is us. Humans are the only species capable of self-annihilation. For at least the past 30 years it has been acknowledged that the earth is presently experiencing its sixth mass extinction entirely caused by anthropogenic GHG emissions. Per research published in 2023, current generic extinction rates are 35 times higher than expected background rates prevailing in the last million years under the absence of human impacts. Research published in Proceedings, the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2022 concluded, “There is ample evidence that climate change could be catastrophic. We could enter such “endgames” at even modest levels of warming.” “Facing a future of accelerating climate change while blind to worst-case scenarios is naïve risk management at best and fatally foolish at worst.”Mr. Kellis's August article (and related podcast), “Why Should Extinction Medicine Be a Specialty?” appears in the recent AMA Journal of Ethics special issue on extinction medicine, at: https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/issue/existential-health-care-ethicsThe recent SSRN pre-print on extinction medicine is at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5109482The recent IPPNW-AMA Journal of Ethics webinar on the ethics of human extinctions: To sign up for the Extinction Medicine Reading Group, a new IPPNW Medical Student Movement initiative that will promote international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary discussion on writings on the science, ethics, and medicalization of human extinction, go to: https://forms.gle/pLspc5URhu9VcuS37Mr. Kellis can be reached via : www.devinkellis.com This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Luca Magnani from Institute of Cancer Research and UNIMI in Milan about his work on epigenetic mechanisms of drug resistance and cancer cell dormancy in breast cancer. We start the interview by putting our focus on his significant contributions to the understanding of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In a foundational study from 2013, Professor Magnani and his colleagues illuminated the role of genome-wide reprogramming of the chromatin landscape in conferring resistance to endocrine therapy. This research marked a departure from a purely genetic mutation paradigm, proposing instead that epigenetic modifications play a pivotal role in the development of drug resistance. A fascinating part of our conversation centers on the role of pioneer transcription factors, particularly PBX1, in regulating the estrogen receptor's transcriptional response. Professor Magnani explains how PBX1, typically associated with hematopoietic development, influences estrogen receptor activity, thereby shaping the cancer cell's fate and response to treatment. Continuing our exploration, we discuss the critical distinctions between primary and metastatic breast cancer through the lens of epigenetic reprogramming. By analyzing samples from women with breast cancer, Professor Magnani's work identifies specific enhancer usage that marks the transition to a drug-resistant state which was a breakthrough in linking epigenetic alterations to real-world patient outcomes. He emphasizes that the reliance on genetic mutations alone does not adequately explain the mechanisms of drug resistance, pushing the field to consider the epigenetic landscape more deeply. Our conversation also touches on the evolution of experimental techniques. Professor Magnani shares insights into the transition from traditional ChIP-seq methods to CUT&RUN, demonstrating the need for techniques that cater to the limited material available from clinical samples. This adaptability mirrors the dynamic nature of cancer itself, as cells continuously evolve under therapeutic pressure. As we traverse through the complexities of dormancy and reactivation in cancer cells, Professor Magnani enlightens us on the unpredictable nature of tumor behavior. He describes how cancer cells can enter dormant states and how their awakening is influenced by environmental factors, akin to an evolutionary response to stressors, thus revealing the intricate balance between survival and proliferation. In the latter part of the episode, we explore Professor Magnani's vision for the future of breast cancer research, which includes the need for better animal models that mimic human disease. His pursuit of understanding estrogen receptor behavior both in healthy and cancerous cells reflects a holistic approach to cancer biology, aiming to decipher the transition from normal tissue to malignancy.   References Magnani, L., Stoeck, A., Zhang, X., Lánczky, A., Mirabella, A.

The story encourages us to view our day-to-day lives as part […]

We are in the thick of multiple sports seasons: the NBA finals are happening, and baseball and soccer are in full swing. For devoted fans, emotions can run pretty high during a game. Cognitive anthropologist Dimitris Xygalatas has long been fascinated by that intensity — and how uniform it can be across fans. So, he and fellow researchers at the University of Connecticut decided to look into what exactly makes fans so deeply connected to their team and to fellow supporters. It turns out that connection may have less to do with actual gameplay and more to do with rituals. Their research was recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Questions about sports science?
