AI Slop Battleground is a test series where we compare and contrast the output of AI driven research against each other. Prompt: Can you perform a meta-analysis of papers which cover the topic of cerebellar morphology differences in “autism” and “ADHD”. We are specifically looking to see if there is any consistent pattern to findings, […]

It’s almost certainly accurate to say that all “thought” has the same active “physical” component (salience) as expressed movement does. A big miss we’ve had with regard to the cerebellum prior to the last decade has been the idea that “movement” is a product of separate systems than “thought”. It’s becoming pretty clear that “movement”

Ponto-olivary climbing fibers are the substrate upon which all personal experience is built. The neonatal period in humans is largely driven by the linking of these fibers to purkinje cells, which form the basis of conscious experience (predictive processing). The critical period in humans is largely driven by the pruning of connections between these fibers

I’ve been meaning to make a blurb about this for awhile, but it keeps slipping my mind. This means this may be a bit rougher than I intend because I haven’t really thought about how to translate it yet and will probably need to come back and edit quite a bit for errors until I

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

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
