Traditionally Saturdays provide us with a chance to catch up on science news you might have missed over the week. We begin tonight with news of humans and this, from IFLScience:

Why Does Music Bring Back Memories? What The Science Says Music can be a powerful emotional memory cue. KELLY JAKUBOWSKI You’re walking down a busy street on your way to work. You pass a busker playing a song you haven’t heard in years. Now suddenly, instead of noticing all the goings on in the city around you, you’re mentally reliving the first time you heard the song. Hearing that piece of music takes you right back to where you were, who you were with and the feelings associated with that memory. This experience – when music brings back memories of events, people and places from our past – is known as a music-evoked autobiographical memory. And it’s a common experience.

From Science Daily:

Synchronizing to a beat predicts how well you get 'in sync' with others Dartmouth College How well you synchronize to a simple beat predicts how well you synchronize with another mind, according to a new Dartmouth study published in Scientific Reports. Previous work has demonstrated that the pupil dilation patterns of speakers and listeners synchronize spontaneously, illustrating shared attention. The team set out to understand how the tendency to synchronize in this way may vary at the individual level and generalize across contexts, as it has been widely debated whether one form of synchrony bears any relationship to another.

From Science Daily:

Transporting antibodies across the blood-brain barrier to treat Alzheimer's disease Tokyo Medical and Dental University Sometimes the best things in life come by chance, when we happen to be in the right place at the right time. Now, researchers have found a way to ensure that new medications are delivered to the right place in the body and at the right point in time during disease progression, so that they have the best effect.

From IFLS:

Eating This Hallucinogenic Fish Can Make You Trip For Days Sounds like an old fishwives' tale, but this is no red herring.

BEN TAUB Psychedelic toad slime may be all the rage these days, but it’s thought that people have been tripping on fish since Roman times. In particular, a species of sea bream called salema porgy has gained a reputation for its fishy side-effects, and is known in Arabic as “the fish that makes dreams”. Found throughout the Mediterranean and along the east coast of Africa, salema porgy – or Sarpa salpa – is often served in restaurants along France’s Côte d'Azur, and while most diners experience no ill effects, some unlucky punters end up tripping balls for up to three days. Brings new meaning to the phrase "one man’s fish is another man’s poison."
