Neuroscience: Music, silence, and prediction

Two new research studies have identified the neural signals underlying music imagery. These neural signals are related to melodic expectations and predictions. The researchers isolated, for the first time, the electrical neural signals of prediction by investigating moments of silence in music. They suggest a strong link between imagery, listening to music, and neural prediction

Healthy environment, healthy kidneys

Health has always been affected by climate and weather, but is increasingly clear that the change in climate is a significant threat to human health. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 24% of global deaths are linked to environmental factors. Climate change and pollution can lead to undernutrition, mental disorders, and noncommunicable diseases including
