Many of us, if not all, enjoy a cup of tea in various forms. Be it a cup of teh tarik, Earl Grey tea, green tea, Pu'er or bubble tea (or even spilling the tea about the latest office gossip). But with a variety of tea and flavour for daily consumption, one could wonder - are these different types of tea made from the same plant? Verdict: TRUE Believe it or not, all the tea comes from the same tea plant - and its scientific name is Camellia Sinensis. This plant can be found in Asia, including China, Vietnam, Korea, and India.

In animals, movements such as locomotion or grooming are known to influence neuronal activity within the cerebral cortex. Moreover, recent studies also suggest that these changes in neuronal activity are not confined to a specific area but are pervasive throughout cortical and subcortical regions of the brain. Interestingly, in animals trained for reward-based learning tasks, such spontaneous movements—despite being uninstructed and unnecessary—may be aligned to task events and may significantly contribute to neuronal activity during the task.
