Surprising Intelligence of Horses, ’Smart’ Insulin for Diabetes, Demystifying ’Aphantasia’, and Mental Time Travel in Bats

Scientists reveal the surprising intelligence of horses and their strategic thinking abilities. A groundbreaking 'smart' insulin responds to changing blood sugar levels in real-time, revolutionizing diabetes treatment. Researchers are one step closer to demystifying 'aphantasia' and exploring the spectrum of internal experiences. Fruit bats demonstrate mental time travel, challenging assumptions about human uniqueness. Join us on Simply Science as we delve into these fascinating scientific breakthroughs and their implications for our understanding of animal intelligence, healthcare, and the human mind.
