Picture reaching for something on a high shelf and coming up short. You don’t give up; instead, you find a stool, carry it over, and climb up. Buried in that action is something remarkable: You held the goal in your mind, identified what you needed, and executed a plan. No training required. A recent study suggests bumble bees can do the same—the first demonstration of this kind of goal-directed problem-solving in an insect. Learn more: scim.ag/4o7cky1

Like a stadium full of sports fans doing the wave, neurons coordinate their electrical signals in rhythmic patterns that sweep across the cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. Recent studies in humans and animals have shown these patterns, called traveling waves, can take on complex shapes, among them a rotating spiral that has been observed during deep sleep, memory retrieval, and other brain processes. Now, a study has captured the fast-spinning waves spanning whole brains, offering clues to how they’re organized and what they might do. Learn more: scim.ag/4uItTq0

It’s hard to be mad following a hug. We touch each other all the time to strengthen and reaffirm our ties to each other—but humans aren’t the only apes with a repertoire of social touch. It turns out, bonobos and chimpanzees also hug and hold hands to maintain bonds at times of tension, researchers report. Learn more: scim.ag/4pEBMvS

Uma das piores coisas de ter quase 50 anos é ter vivido a transformação do futebol de esporte em negócios e, agora, virar só pano de fundo para negócios. Pano de fundo pra Bets, pra propagada, pra lavagem de dinheiro... e Messi é o garoto-propaganda intocável

Bumble bees are hardly nature’s most graceful creatures, and their name reflects it. But it turns out these bees show a surprising knack for rhythm. The fuzzy insects can not only recognize a rhythm but also identify the same pattern when scientists change the tempo, according to recent research—the first time this ability has been documented outside of a few mammals and birds.

In a new mouse study, researchers discover that the central oxytocin system has distinct circuits that regulate different defensive behaviors in response to social threats. scim.ag/3SoZPSS

The results of a 2024 study are among a growing number suggesting the heartbeat quietly shapes how the brain processes information. These findings also raise the uncomfortable possibility that internal rhythms frequently treated as background noise may be subtly skewing results in neuroscience experiments. Some researchers are now warning about the issue, and a paper published in April lays out guidelines for standardizing how studies should document and account for these internal rhythms.

Like a vast bowl of spaghetti, the universe may be stringier on length scales far larger than cosmologists have long assumed. In a recently published study, two researchers argue galaxies align in enormous filaments even on scales where the cosmos should appear smooth and uniform. If correct, the bold claim would upend the cosmological principle, the conceptual cornerstone of the standard cosmological model. Learn more: scim.ag/3T0dFuZ
