A team of researchers from the University of Konstanz, the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, and the University of Zurich has investigated how meerkats use vocal exchanges to maintain social bonds and manage their complex group hierarchies.
Musical chills are pleasurable shivers or goosebump sensations that people feel when they resonate with the music they’re listening to. They reduce stress and have beneficial side effects, but they are difficult to induce reliably.

The study reveals how compartmentalized care leads to treatment refusal and patient harm, while coordinated interdisciplinary teams can restore well-being. It highlights the urgent need for reforms in medical education, care continuity, and health policy to create more inclusive, patient-centered healthcare systems.
