The human brain physically embodies rhythmic sound in a remarkable symphony that has the power to heal.

From Soundwaves to Brainwaves: The Transformative Power of Music

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".

In the normal development and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (left), structural organization is maintained thanks to signaling by proteins such as musclespecific kinase (MuSK), Vangl2, and Wnt ligands, researchers propose. In mice whose muscles don&rsquo;t produce Vangl2 (right), junctions are instead disorganized. Compared with control animals, mice lacking muscle Vangl2 have more-dispersed postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors, muscles that are withdrawn, and a reduction in synaptic transmission. As a result, the muscles aren&rsquo;t properly innervated and mice experience muscle weakness.
