Reading Is the Ultimate Cognitive Enhancer

A new study demonstrates that reading acts as a powerful cognitive enhancer that fine-tunes visual systems to improve face recognition, expands working memory, and sharpens reasoning. The work notes that print reading evokes greater cognitive effort than screen reading due to psychological self-regulation, and cautions against the over-simplification of educational texts.

Great Ape Laughter Reveals Clues to Human Speech Origins

A new study tracking 140 laughter sequences across humans and great apes reveals that all species share an identical 15-million-year-old rhythmic structure of evenly spaced vocal intervals, proving that human speech evolved from a long-standing evolutionary continuum of primate vocal control.

This shows speech bubbles full of neurons.
