Gestalt Language Processing = Dorsal dominant language processing.

Also called “Visual/Spatial” learners. Dorsal dominant learning is a requirement for hyperlexia. Dorsal dominant individuals usually have more acute sensory response, and are also “empathic”, in that they are able to read and predict external thought not by making an internal reference, but by focusing on transmitted behavioral information more acutely. Dorsal dominant thought is …

Are non-coding RNA the substrate of memory?

Thinking about the mechanics of how astrocytes produce discrete associations for a broad range of stimuli. Discreteness of memory is an artifact of access to these non coding regions. Cultural similarities/affinities are an artifact of similar DNA pairings across these non-coding regions. Loss of access results in dementia. Memory as a whole requires these non-coding …

Custom Highs

I’ve been kind of amused by the thought over the last week that one of the artifacts of understanding brain function from a metabolic/genetic level is that we are going to cross the rubicon into an era of truly customized drugs. And seeing how much our brains heavily bias toward good/bad things, once we understand …

Remodeling the Synapse

The prevailing understanding of how synapses work is driven by a fairly low resolution understanding of cellular mechanics. Rather than “neuron to neuron” communication, or even “tripartite” communication, imagine the synapse as having thousands of individual peptide communication channels, each which transmit or internalize a different signal. Traditional neurotransmitters do not contain messages themselves, instead …

Does myelin insulate or provide a continuous sampling environment for neuronal activation?

Just had a quick thought, we’ve assumed that the point of myelin is insulation of signal under the electric brain construct. As I’m currently not very hot on that construct (to the point I’m extremely certain it’s an inaccurate understanding of mechanics), what if the actual mechanic of myelin is to perform metabolic sustainment of …
