Thick, immobile whiskers on an elephant’s trunk may help them to feel and balance objects even though they cannot twitch in the way that many other mammals’ whiskers do, according to a study published in @CommsBio. go.nature.com/3OX8sjL

We published a histological study on elephant trigeminal nervous subsystem last year. On its one-year anniversary, we @BrechtLab present to you doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2021.1… (0/n)🥳

This is going to be great, I am so much looking forward to it! If you are in Amsterdam next week (January 16th) and want to attend this symposium on the Neuroscience of Social Behaviour, send me a message and I can forward details.
We will be presenting our research on ticklishness and playfulness at the social neuroscience symposium next Monday at the University of Amsterdam. Our fellow presenters include @SarahDagher7, @sbl_nin, and @lena_v_kaufmann. Hosted by @MarliesOostland.

Really happy to talk about play on such a big platform @SfNtweets . Big shoutout to @BrechtLab @Kon_Hart @AnnikaReinhold @miguelconcham and the amazing work of @bagibence to look at brain states in Hide and Seek!

New "Science Advances" paper @BrechtLab. Trunk dexterity explained: Berlin scientists decipher facial motor control in elephants and show that the facial motor nucleus contains more facial motor neurons than in any other terrestrial mammal.

The more ticklish you feel, the faster and at a higher pitch you laugh. When being tickled, the best way to reduce ticklishness is to tickle yourself at the same spot: a rat study proved in humans. Fig. 1 is the 3rd author’s ticklish face. doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2021.01…
