Open to volunteers and/or ideas here. I spun up this forum mostly as a place where I could scratchpad ideas based on a ground up follow the data kind of approach mostly because I was kind of shocked at how ineffectual current neuro/psych understandings are in predicting anything useful. The primary impetus of the site …

Electrophysiological In Vitro Study of Long-Range Signal Transmission by Astrocytic Networks

Ermagerd. The tl;dr is that astrocyte networks transmit interdependently of neurons and represent a discrete signalling network. Astrocytes also have the ability to modify activity of neurons in completely different regions (can control the entry and exit of a signal). Edit: Astrocyte domains and the three-dimensional and seamless expression of consciousness and explicit memories – …

Another tDCS dump

Astroglial Alterations in the Hippocampus of Rats Submitted to a Single Trans-Cranial Direct Current Stimulation Trial – Lol, I guess I haven’t posted anything about tDCS for awhile but it looks like there’s finally some scant support for my hypothesis about it’s effectiveness. Reading very slightly between the lines, this work implies that tDCS modifies …

Unnecessarily Controversial and Definitely Undersupported: “Autism” and serial murder

One of the primary differentiators between being identified with “autism” and not is the level of cognitive performance across different categories. An individual with “normal” to “above average” cognitive measurements across all measured categories is likely to escape “detection”, while an individual with low or extremely uneven performance is dramatically more likely to be considered …
