Our episode of #TransparencyThursday with Sanne Moorman, assistant professor at the University of #Groningen, is now live! Did you know that scientists learn a great deal about how we learn to speak as infants by listening to birds singing? 🔗 youtu.be/6elXiSZcMPk 🐦‍⬛ 🎶 #AnimalResearch #neuroscience #brain #speech #learning

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and EARA member the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have uncovered how early nerve damage in #MultipleSclerosis can sometimes lead to self-repair. The study used #zebrafish, #mice and #brain tissue from people with #MS. 🔗 eara.eu/post/zebrafish… #myelin #microscopy #neuron #AnimalResearch #neurological #autoimmune #disease #health #BasicResearch #Research #Science
