Scientists Discover How Sperm Whales Control Buoyancy During Vertical Sleep

Scientists from the Universities of St Andrews and Neuchâtel discovered that sperm whales sleep vertically, releasing gas bubbles to regulate buoyancy. This unique posture near the surface aids breathing, protects from waves, and prevents energy drain, offering new insights into their deep-diving physiology.

Heart's Hidden 'Brain' Discovered: Network of Neurons Controls Heartbeats and Stress Response

A Yale University study, published in Cell, uncovered a small network of neurons within the heart, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system. This network, acting as a local command center, regulates heartbeats and protects the organ during stress, with Npy+ neurons controlling heart rate and Ddah1+ neurons providing stress protection.
