The Arctic's iconic narwhal, renowned for its long, spiral tusk, is one of nature's most fascinating creatures.

Unicorn of the Sea: Drone Reveals Narwhals’ Never-Before-Seen Tusk Behavior

Example neuron in the anterior ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH, blue line). Using a technique called “uncaging”, researchers found that inhibitory signals near the centre of this neuron (yellow squares) were stronger during the fertile phase of the reproductive cycle. Reduced activity in these cells promotes mating behaviour.
