🇬🇧
Evolution found a new way to build intelligence!
Cephalopods use microRNAs - tiny genetic switches - to shape their complex nervous system 🤯

🇫🇷
L’évolution a trouvé une autre manière de créer l’intelligence !
Les céphalopodes utilisent des microARN pour façonner leur système nerveux complexe🤯

🇬🇧
Turns out evolution didn’t rewrite their DNA, but how it’s used 🧬

🇫🇷
L’évolution n’a pas réécrit leur ADN, mais sa façon d’être utilisé 🧬

🇫🇷
Les pieuvres rêvent, résolvent des énigmes et reconnaissent des visages 🐙🧠

Comment une telle intelligence a-t-elle émergé ?

Maite, étudiante en thèse à l’Institut Pasteur, a écrit un article sur ce sujet!

Brains evolve differently underwater Cephalopods—squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, and nautiluses—are the most intelligent and agile of all mollusks, boasting extraordinary adaptations for predation, locomotion, and communication. Despite th...

Did you know? Octopuses can dream, solve puzzles, and recognize faces! 🐙 🧠

But how did such intelligence evolve?

✨Maite, PhD student at Pasteur Institute, wrote an article about this!

🇫🇷 Tes cellules T passent une double sélection : reconnaître les envahisseurs sans attaquer ton corps. Si ça déraille, cela peut être lié à des maladies auto-immunes.

🇬🇧 T cells undergo double selection: detect invaders without harming your body. If it fails, it may be linked to autoimmune diseases.

Sweetbread, à la Immune System Here’s a recipe straight from our body’s cookbook: how to train immune cells to efficiently eliminate invading viruses and bacteria, while leaving our own cells unharmed. The star ingredient? The thym...

🇫🇷 Le savais-tu ? Ton système immunitaire a une école: le thymus! Là, les cellules T apprennent qui combattreet surtout qui épargner✨

🇬🇧 Did you know? Your immune system has a school: the thymus! There, T cells learn who to fightand, importantly, who not to✨

Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths Adaptations of the Heart: Comparative Responses to Diving and Hypoxia Across Species…Many physiological mechanisms have evolved in living organisms to cope with extreme environments, including high altitudes or deep ocean depths. These include changes in oxygen transport and utilization, metabolic adjustments, strategies to retain heat in cold conditions, adaptations to withstand high pressure, mechanisms for surviving in darkness, and efficient energy use to cope with limited food availability.
