Old astrocyte dump is below the pre-load so I can’t search of it easily – being lazy and making a new dump. Astrocytic modulation of central pattern generating motor circuits – Was wondering if valence reciprocally modulated salience, answer is looking yep! Experience-dependent structural plasticity in the adult brain: How the learning brain grows –…

Is salience strength reciprocally mediated by the valence signals? Analogy – Musical instruments have a salience pulse which gets modified by the instrument itself to make a particular sound. Whether it’s the stroke initiating the vibration of stringed instruments or breathe in a woodwind, the initial salience pulse is then modified by the fretboard or…

Ugh. This really doesn’t look good so far. Still looking for work regarding heat shock response longitudinally. With brains running warmer than previously understood in core areas, this may be a significant issue going forward. Are humans even fully adapted to climate as warm as now yet? Skeptical here. There should be certain professions more…

The anticonvulsant effect of chronic treatment with topiramate after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus is accompanied by a suppression of comorbid behavioral impairments and robust neuroprotection in limbic regions in rats – Heh, essentially chemical ECT with the same effects. Interesting. Genetic Specificity of Hippocampal Subfield Volumes, Relative to Hippocampal Formation, Identified in 2148 Young Adult Twins…

Ugh, I threw up in my mouth typing that. Probably should delete it and remake it since I can’t change the title. Should say something more like is “personality” a product of egocentric/allocentric binding preference. Traits like “optimism” should be easily sussable under the model – high dorsal hippocampal stream weight or an overweight CA1…

Are networks arranged according to preferences encoded within BDNF? Is network organization the difference between BDNF and CDNF expression preferences? Guessing, BDNF would determine ventral/inhibitory network strength and CDNF would determine dorsal/stimulatory network strength? Does MANF regulate the balance point between the two? Is MANF a master organizational program?

I hate this question.
