Yes: handwriting still matters.A new study has confirmed that writing by hand activates far more complex and widespread neural networks in the brain than typing, underscoring its importance for learning and memory.Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology used a high-density EEG cap with 256 electrodes to record brain activity in university students. They found that the intricate, sensory-rich movements involved in handwriting, especially cursive, trigger highly synchronized brain waves across extensive areas of the parietal and central regions. These coordinated patterns are strongly linked to memory formation, cognitive processing, and encoding new information.In contrast, typing, which involves repetitive, simpler finger movements, produced significantly less neural connectivity and engagement. The difference was striking: the brain appears much less active during digital writing.The researchers conclude that the unique motor and sensory experience of holding a pen plays a key role in brain development and learning. As a result, they argue that handwriting instruction should remain a core part of education to support deeper comprehension and cognitive growth in the next generation.[ “Handwriting vs. Typing: A High-Density EEG Study on Brain Connectivity During Learning” — Norwegian University of Science and Technology (published in Frontiers in Psychology, 2025)]Science and facts💡

Zelensky said only pressure on Moscow, not Crimea, can force Putin to stop the war.

Zelensky said only pressure on Moscow, not Crimea, can force Putin to stop the war. He rejected Putin’s claims of a special attachment to Crimea, saying the Russian leader knows both Crimea and Ukraine’s east only through officers’ reports. Zelensky said Putin needs to sell Russian society a major victory, but has none, so Moscow relies on mass strikes, intimidation, and aggressive rhetoric.

Russia is now losing troops at an estimated 8:1 ratio compared with Ukraine, according to a new CSIS analysis.

Russia is now losing troops at an estimated 8:1 ratio compared with Ukraine, according to a new CSIS analysis. The report estimates Russia has suffered about 1.4 million killed, wounded, and missing since the start of the full-scale war, including roughly 450,000 dead. It attributes the widening loss ratio to Ukraine’s extensive use of drones, along with Russian tactical shortcomings, poor coordin...
