Uncertainty aversion predicts the neural expansion of semantic representations – Pretty sure that if were able to look at this on the circuit level, it would reveal dorsal vs. ventral patterning for uncertainty aversion, but not as a matter of “uncertainty”, but as an artifact of how these two global phenotypes construct and process information. […]

Due to the mechanical nature of metabolic processes in cells, specific processes should generate discrete types of “sound”/vibrations. We should be able to use “sound” based tools in almost exactly the same way we use electrophysiological tools, except they should have far greater process sensitivity and be able to record against the entire range of

S100b:S100B Expression Plays a Crucial Role in Cytotoxicity, Reactive Oxygen Species Generation and Nitric Oxide Synthase Activation Induced by Amyloid β-Protein in an Astrocytoma Cell Line GFAP:Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid glial fibrillary acidic protein levels in adults with Down syndrome: a longitudinal cohort study

Same progenitors – Transdifferentiable – Interdependencies – tl;dr neurons, glia, etc are the same class of cells from the same precursor cells, and can be checkpointed into each other (mostly). I’m going to put time into writing a formal screed/book based around this conceit. I’ve been reluctant to do so in the past because this

Crap, should have said “ability” not performance. Wow, this is tough to research, as anti-cholesterol medications are pretty heavily prescribed. My experience is that pharma companies tend to flood the research pool with ambiguous work to protect/promote their cash cows. Yeah, I’m interested in the relationship between LDL and HDL with regard to cognitive ability,

I really love this conceit! Rather than the “nervous system”, which is based on the assumed functions of neurons, calling it the “information system” is not only a lot more descriptive, but accurate as well. It’s kind of fun attaching function to various structures as well, like calling the hippocampus the “lungs” of the information

Rather than an out of control metabolic cascade in the case of epileptic activity, this would be represented by a suppression of metabolic activity in a particular region like an “anti-seizure”. Most analgesics are anti-inflammatories which serve to open up the nerve pipes and reduce subjective pain. If we think about common occurrences of headache

Calcium signaling in astrocytes and gliotransmitter release – The sooner electric brain goes away, the sooner we move forward. If only they had measurable zaps, we’d put some respect on their name. Are cytoskeleton changes observed in astrocytes functionally linked to aging? – It’s an interesting question, is this the functional equivalent to the Sinclair-esque
