The brain may interpret smells from each nostril differently Penn In the News Live Science The brain may interpret smells from each nostril differently A study by postdoc Gulce Nazli Dikecligil in the Perelman School of Medicine suggests that the smells flowing through each nostril are processed as two separate signals in the part of the brain that receives smell inputs. Neuroscientists discover new link in sleep disruption and memory Penn In the News Newsweek Neuroscientists discover new link in sleep disruption and memory Research led by Nirinjini Naidoo of the Perelman School of Medicine suggests that a chronic lack of sleep can lead to affected memory molecules and poor performance when learning new tasks. Are some kids genetically predisposed to poor sleep? Study offers clues Penn In the News CNN Are some kids genetically predisposed to poor sleep? Study offers clues Amita Sehgal of the Perelman School of Medicine says that some people perceive insomnia even when there is not actually a lack of sleep in terms of quantity. The surprising thing that helps you cope with change Penn In the News CNN The surprising thing that helps you cope with change Joseph Kable of the School of Arts & Sciences says that uncertainty shakes the brain out of its complacency and makes it more attuned to new information.
