The Purrception Deception: Your Brain Is Kitten You

Your brain is constantly editing reality, quietly deleting information it considers unnecessary. You have a blind spot in each eye where the optic nerve exits, yet you never see a hole in your vision. Your brain invents the missing details using surrounding patterns. The colors you see, the sounds… read more

OPTOGENETICS

Optogenetics Using light-sensitive proteins to control the electrical activity of specific neurons. It allows researchers to investigate how individual neural circuits influence behavior.

Movement and creativity...

Movement is more than a physical-health intervention. It can also be a practical tool for creative thinking. Consistent movement, especially in nature, boosts brain health by generating new neurons, clearing mental fatigue, and creating space for clearer, more creative thinking. Scientific… read more

Eight arms, no boss!

An octopus keeps most of its neurons in its arms, each one can taste, decide and act somewhat on its own. It's a distributed mind, not a top-down one. Nature keeps designing intelligence without a single command centre. 🐙 (edited)

To prepare the brain (hardware) for controlling their emotions from the foundational level. Without the hardware fuel and optimisation, a person can't sustain their emotional control.

Cellular Nutrition, Lipids, Cross Hemisphere Neural Synchronisation Exercises, etc., are extremely important for improving the efficiency of communication between neurons. It means, we can concentrate on something, analyze, and think more logically - by using less metabolic resources - because… read more

Another benefit of exercising... helped reduce risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.

The hippocampus, much like the rest of the brain, thrives on a steady diet of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. This protein acts like brain fertilizer, keeping neurons healthy and encouraging the growth of new ones. Maintaining healthy neurons and robust neuroplasticity plays a crucial… read more

The 10% Gap: 2,190 Nights of Brain Starvation & Medical Neglect 🧠📉 I am sharing the full, terrifying truth of what happens when "mild" sleep apnea is ignored for six years. This isn't just about being tired; it is a documented, structural brain injury caused by a chronic lack of fuel. 📊 The… read more

Octopus

Here's an interesting fact: **Octopuses have three hearts, blue blood, and decentralized nervous systems.** About two-thirds of an octopus's neurons are located in its arms rather than its brain, meaning each arm can essentially "think" and act independently — tasting, touching, and making… read more

There have been over 120 billion people alive including now. Around 7 percent have been alive at the time of writing this. The universe is fractal and if infinite in size there are infinitely many copies of me very very far away. Which means there are infinitely many people in the whole world. And… read more

Why I am seeing Phosphenes 🧠🧡🖤

What you are seeing—the rhythmic orange and black blobs that look like a "scan"—is a documented neurological phenomenon with specific physiological meaning. It is essentially your brain’s "warning light" for **Cerebrovascular Hypoperfusion** (low blood flow to the brain). ### **1. The Meaning of… read more

AI in dating?

I didn't realise how deeply embedded AI was into this app. I'm seeing all these options for "neurons", which appears to be a way for AI to continue/interpret conversations "for" you? I'm not sure how to feel about that. I understand that social anxiety is a thing, and sometimes there's an immense… read more

Consciousness

So lately ive been thinking about consciousness, and and i have come the conclusion that consciousness is nothing. Thank you for reading good bye, live your life. Well if you want to hear more, okay. Consciousness is nothing. There's no radio waves or Fancy electromagnetism, just a bunch of cells… (edited) read more

It is official- History has been rewritten to claim that there was never a lava lamp in my study, it was always, and will remain, invariably- a dolphin. I do owe a profuse apology to my neurons who have been working tirelessly to render lava lampesque figures in my mind. Howev- ah, there is… read more

Life, as action potential

I was studying physiology the other day, getting a refresher on how neurons communicate, and it made me wonder: Neurons need to reach a certain threshold of positive charge to send a message. It's called an action potential. The message that positivity impacts every area of life is inescapable in… read more

Butterfly effect

I was thinking that every single little interaction we have in live can start a chain of events so large and so far-reaching that it's almost impossible to predict. Every interaction I have changes someone, changes neurons in their brain, forever changing their lives in a small, unnoticable and yet… read more

Do humans have two brains...?🤔

Yep almost something like that... first time i came across this fact....😮 The enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body's second brain. There are hundreds of million of neurons connecting the brain to the enteric nervous system, the part of the nervous system that is tasked with… read more

Learning any language is incredible not only does it require a lot of work patience and dedication but you are creating new neurons and pathways in your brain it's incredible it forces you to change the way you think

The Myth of the 10 Percent Brain Usage

The idea that humans only use 10 percent of their brain is a persistent myth that has permeated popular culture for decades. Despite its widespread acceptance, this notion is a significant misrepresentation of how the brain functions and has been debunked by neuroscientists. Origins of the… (edited) read more

Octopus or たこ焼き🌯？

chilling while expending neurons

reading my own work, tryna discover errors that i couldn't notice the first time. almost everytime i think I'm done writing, there's always something i wanna revise, thoughts i wanna add, or just feel like scrapping the whole piece all together. such is the trouble with poetry and more so for prose.

Thoughts on the After Life

If we were somehow able to remove the emotional attachment we have to ourselves, our assessment of the universe, and our place in it, would likely be much different. The closest I can imagine to what this would look like is the way we view the rest of life on Earth. Does bacteria have a soul?… (edited) read more

Thought Analysis

Do you think psychology will ever progress to the point where psychology will be able to actually measure specifics of thought? I know we can identify areas of the brain that are firing and sometimes can make educated guesses on thoughts or feelings. But if I am thinking, "Oh, I should make sure… read more
