#brain evolution
Link
So this is, uh, completely fucking cool. The rough of it is that bit about “a shared blueprint of brain organization has been maintained from the Cambrian until today”, with a few side bits about how the brain within the body is structured overall.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!
unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!
tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.
bonus rules:
you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny
take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)
apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender
have fun and be yourself!
#pokemon#pkmn#pokemon mystery dungeon#pmd#tag games#someone might've done this concept already but i had a worm in my brain you know.#i thought itd be fun to list all the unevolved pokemon... now i know there's only around 400 evolution lines total!#.. not counting mythicals legendaries ultra beasts or paradoxes#by the way! alongside the shiny result there are two other bonus results: an obligatory pikachu and... a surprise!!!#finally feel free to let me know if i misspelled something or accidentally included an evolved mon (other than pikachu)#sorry long tags ha 😅 i'm done now

T. Rex not a "clever girl" in new research
T. Rex not a "clever girl" in new research #brain #brainevolution #trex #dinosaur #study #paleonuerology #cognition #jurassicpark
Whether Total Recall (1990) or Jurassic Park (1993), the “clever girl” line is iconic. While in Jurassic Park, it was applied to velociraptors, a 2022 study published in the The Journal of Comparative Neurology asserted that the Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T. Rex, had up to three billion neurons, equivalent to an intelligent primate such as a baboon, leading to the possibility that they could hunt in…

My client wanted a commission for the life stages of the Mind Flayer and I feel very honored that they trusted my abilities to interpret it T o T so I'm super grateful, I learned a lot in the process and my client really liked it so I'm very happy with the result!
Hope you like it as well 💖✨

Baby Taylor's baby voice is so endearing and it's going to be bittersweet to "lose" that on the TVs, but I'm really excited to hear how they clean up (or not) the production on Debut. I mean I know they're going to make it as accurate as possible to the originals, but I mean in the actual sound mixing and stuff. Because I feel like this album could benefit the most from some of that! Which is not to say that the original is bad BECAUSE IT'S NOT, but I think there is subtle stuff they can do with the mixing/blending/instrumentals/treble/etc. to make it shine even more.
#I don't want to say it sounds 'amateur' because it was obviously recorded by professionals#but there are some parts where i notice certain things in how her voice blends with the instrumentation#and I think they're really going to be able to make this part soar waaaaaaay more#like it almost sounds in some parts like she's singing over a karaoke track#instead of a full production if you get what i mean#it's just the difference of 20 years of evolution in sound production and design and in her own increased experience in producing#(sorry my dad does this stuff and like one road trip we spent the whole time listening to the latest mix of an album he was producing#and mixing for a friend and it's engrained in my brain how he was like dictating notes for me to write down so he could go back and fix#when we got home 😂)

Evolutionary biologists at Johns Hopkins Medicine report they have combined PET scans of modern pigeons along with studies of dinosaur fossils to help answer an enduring question in biology: How did the brains of birds evolve to enable them to fly?
The answer, they say, appears to be an adaptive increase in the size of the cerebellum in some fossil vertebrates. The cerebellum is a brain region responsible for movement and motor control.
The research findings are published in the Jan. 31 issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Being into Palaeontology and Biology now means I can’t look at WoF the same way again because the amateur scientist in my brain is freaking out over how much stuff happens in such a short amount of time. You’re telling me these dragons diversified, evolved, and adapted into multiple different tribes throughout the span of a few thousand years, and at two different points in time??? Yeah right. Hell when you think about it, the history of the tribes and what they describe create the implication that it only took a few centuries. That’s insane. How am I supposed to insert spec evo into these fantasy dragons NOW Tui?!??!?!?!
#ik this is a fantasy series but my unhealthy habit is trying to insert real world biology into everything cause i think its fun#i just cant hold it in#everytime i look at a wof dragon i have to be like hmmmm what adaptions could this animal have made to suit its ecological niche#history in wof is already really messy and poorly established but this just makes my autistic brain scream#wof#wings of fire#wof dragon#mudwing#seawing#rainwing#nightwing#sandwing#icewing#skywing#silkwing#hivewing#leafwing#spec evo#speculative evolution

[frank zappa voice]
whoa, we're so woolen below
have you seen us
Scaptolenus
we're click beetles but we're setose
(yes we are)
the males swarm when it rains in meadows
pleocomid ass pet
loves to fuck when its wet
females stay in their nice dirt burrows
(dirt burrows)
(image source)
#coleoptera#elateridae#scaptolenus#not my photos#i found one of these at work today and the first stanza instantly materialized and seared into my brain#anyway what the fuck is with this convergent evolution#why do scaptolenus and pleocoma have nearly identical appearances and mating behaviors#theyre not even remotely related

In the Sandman, since Dream 'came into existence once lifeforms capable of dreaming appeared in the universe', I wonder what that lifeform is and what did it dream of. Like what is the first dream in the universe about.
#idk of the comics have anything about that though. I'm only on book 4#some post on twitter about how octopuses (which is like super different from human in evolution) can dream got me thinking#about dreams in animal and generally other lifeforms#from what we know there are few studies on dreams in animals#we can only study their behavior while they sleep or compare brain waves with human REM sleep or something of a sort#we don't exactly know if animals can dream the way we dream#dreams in animals are interesting to me because#it makes me wonder what these bizarre visual and auditory hallucinations the brain cooks up each night are and what are they for#we can only theorize that it organizes the brain and help with memory and learning and simulating events etc.#if many animals dream despite having very different ancestors then it's definitely something useful#I don't know how to explain but it's simply wild to think about. I don't know how it doesn't blow my stupid little brain#studying dream in animals might give us more insight to dreams in human I think#delete later
