The human placenta exhibits a unique transcriptomic void – WHAT THE FUCK. How is it even possible these are new results? Why is science so afraid of women’s bodies? Infants infer potential social partners by observing the interactions of their parent with unknown others Beyond naïve cue combination: salience and social cues in early word

Assuming that sleep allows astrocytes a chance to decompress->externalize data by turning off inputs (and clean up metabolic waste generated by the process), dreams may just be a literal representation of how our ventral streams process information without dorsal stream checking. Dreams are familiar because the data they are based on is our own data
Do we sleep to dream? Read More »
The intent of all this is not oppositional to anything, including and especially psychiatry. I realize that a lot of my comments are explicitly hostile regarding psychiatry, however my target isn’t psychiatry itself but psychiatric culture and philosophy (which may seem like the same thing). An optimal outcome for all of this is that we
Shouldn’t need to be said, but probably should anyway. Read More »
Huh, nope they are likely the same construction. Weird.
Editing as I go as usual Birth ~ 6 months – Full brainstem control, all other structures are in a pre-functional state. Brainstem still in development. 3 months ~ Hypothalamus comes online, begin brainstem training period. 3 months ~ 6 months – Cerebellum starts initial training period, motor control increases as training advances 6 months

Is the effect of neuron morphology that it normalizes timing and other signal properties between astrocyte groups? If this is the case, wouldn’t it look exactly like the neuron itself was adapting to information rather than being driven by other mechanics? If every astrocyte is it’s own self contained unit, a way to normalize information
Do neurons work as signal normalizers between local astrocyte environments? Read More »
