Cats Associate More with Words Compared to Human Babies, New Study Reveals
New research shows cats have the ability to link words and images faster than toddlers, suggesting a surprising cognitive ability in felines. Conducted at Azabu University in Japan, the study used visual cues to reveal that cats could recognise altered word-image pairings, showing signs of confusion and attention to detail. The findings, published ...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...
