Sociocultural Pressures, Internalization, and Body Esteem in Congenitally Blind, Late-Blind, and Sighted Men and Women - Sara Dell’Erba, Meike Scheller, Alexandra A. de Sousa, Michael J. Proulx, 2024 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…

Ongoing work for #fossilfriday , a first draft of a Neandertal brain considering the general proportions of the different lobes. We still have a lot of work but it is promising

American Woodcocks have complete 360° visual coverage above the horizontal plane. Even at the horizontal, they only have a 1° blind spot behind their head (figure: Martin et al. 1994). The Mallard actually has them beat, with complete panoramic vision in the horizontal plane!

You have until end of today to express your interest - we are starting to interview next week!

Please consider taking part in this research if you own cats/dogs looking at pet activities, mental health, personality and neurodiversity.

Interesting question!

Good pointers to literature suggesting other types of units, soma, axonal segments, dendritic compartments, etc. Suggestions that such units are themselves dynamic somehow? Say, the compartments reorganize?
