Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Biocytin is a chemical compound that is an amide formed from the vitamin biotin and the amino acid L-lysine.  As an intermediate in the metabolism of biotin, biocytin occurs naturally in blood serum and urine.
The enzyme biotinidase cleaves biocytin and makes biotin available to be reused by other enzymes.  Because biocytin is the natural substrate of the enzyme biotinidase, biocytin can be used to measure the biotinidase activity and therefore diagnose biotinidase deficiency.
Biocytin is also used in scientific research as a histological stain for nerve cells.
