May has been a month of bold breakthroughs in neuroscience and biology, revealing the hidden layers of how our bodies and minds truly work. 🧠🧬

From discovering how the brain lights up during moments of sudden insight, to unveiling a previously overlooked brain cell critical for cognition, the science is getting sharper, deeper, and more human.

One standout? Researchers now believe that personality traits could help fine-tune treatments for bipolar disorder, bringing us closer to precision psychiatry. 🧘‍♀️✨

Meanwhile, in immunotherapy, scientists are targeting aggressive T cell cancers with a new, powerful approach and it’s showing promises. And yes, microplastics? They’re silently moving from soil to salad to us.
