Denis Noble, a prominent biophysicist and systems biology pioneer, critiques the gene-centric model of biology that has dominated since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, arguing that it has failed to deliver on its promise of genetic cures for major diseases. Noble contends that evolution should be viewed […]

The article advocates for “neuroadaptability” over “neuroplasticity” to better capture the brain’s dynamic capacity for change, resilience, and adaptation, particularly in cult recovery. It critiques the notion of neuroplasticity as overly simplistic and potentially misleading, given its associations with plastic materials and the assumption of uniform change across all brain […]
A study from Northwestern University has revealed that the brain’s structural features may exist near a critical point, akin to a phase transition. This point is characterized by high complexity and is observed in various organisms, including humans, mice, and fruit flies. Researchers found that brain samples exhibited properties associated […]
The article explores the complex interplay between intuition and rational decision-making, emphasizing the importance of listening to gut feelings in various situations. It shares the transformative story of Lynn Tilton, who, after a profound intuitive experience, shifted her career focus to helping struggling companies, ultimately saving hundreds of thousands of […]
The article explores the origins of the universe and the interplay between randomness and evolution, as explained by chemist Lee Cronin. It begins with the Big Bang, forming matter, stars, and planets, ultimately resulting in life. Central to this discussion is quantum physics, which reveals that the universe operates on […]
