Neural substrates of cough control during coughing – The ponto-cerebellar bridge is where the money is. Retracted: An Automated Deep Learning Model for the Cerebellum Segmentation from Fetal Brain Images – Why doesn’t any work ever get more than a “medium” weight on it’s own, no matter how thorough? Why am I so skeptical of peer review? …
January Dump, I should have put this on the website first… Read More »
One of my girls is really fascinated with a game character called “Pou“. If you haven’t seen this game, it’s based around a weird brown trianglish character that you have to take care of like a Talking Tom game. It feels exactly like a cheap knock off of some more popular item you’d find on …
One of the weirdest bits of cognitive dissonance I’ve had in my life is when searching for an object that was easily within my field of view, but it was literally invisible to me. Whether my keys, the remote, or whatever, the more familiar I was with the object, the more completely it seems to …
One of the (too many) projects I’ve been working on for a bit is automating a hydroponic growing system with a focus on individual level use but easy replication for lots of individuals. So a grow system for every home, but easy to make and deploy in a lot of homes. One of the cool …
Subcortical and cerebellar volume differences in bilingual and monolingual children: An ABCD study – brain explodes. I have so many thoughts about this. First, this suggests that native bilinguals store less of their object representation information in the DCN/cerebellum, and more of their object information in limbic/cerebral areas. HOW COOL IS THAT? The idea that language learning …
The Cerebellum and Cognitive Function: Anatomical Evidence from a Transdiagnostic Sample The more I sit on this paper, the more stunning it is. Like it changes SO damn much. Like from a network perspective, dopamine works as a cerebellar coordinating signal. The entire purpose of dopamine signalling pathways is to transmit information to the cerebellum …
I guess there’s two different paths this was pushing along, the first was that “time” doesn’t really exist like we perceive it or talk about it in most physics models, it’s a property we derive from causality. And we like causality because it appears, thus far, to be an inviolable universal constant. Rather than “time”, …
Time perception as a function of integration “staple” density Read More »
Modulation of Resting-State Brain Complexity After Bilateral Cerebellar Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: a Randomized Controlled Trial Study – So this is pretty close to my original cerebellar “kick” montage, the difference being it requires a five to ten minute “prime” doing cathodal stimulation on the cerebellum first, then switching …
