**1. Brain Geometry**
The second story comes from iScience and examines whether stimulating the vagus nerve after training can strengthen long-term learning. In mice, the report says post-training vagal nerve stimulation produced vascular oscillations that tracked memory performance.

**2. Vagus Learning**
The final story is a short video post about a new genetic clue for microcephaly. The linked media title gives that framing, but it does not include enough detail to identify the gene, the study design, or whether the finding has been replicated.
