This edition of MAZE explores psychology and neuroscience through diverse lenses, from the “twisties” in gymnastics and the history of women with autism to the brain’s response to drugs, microgravity, and death anxiety. Articles discuss art as a window to the mind, the emotional power of multilingualism, why we struggle with compliments, and the therapeutic potential of lavender and peyote. With research-driven insights and creative perspectives, Issue IX showcases the curiosity and brilliance of student-led exploration.
