Reprogrammed Brain Cells Could Restore Damaged Circuits
Researchers have successfully reprogrammed brain support cells called astroglia into neuron-like cells that mimic specific interneurons vital for brain functions.
This study, focusing on regenerative medicine, demonstrated that modifying a protein called Ascl1 enhances the conversion of astroglia into functioning neurons, which could potentially restore disrupted brain circuits in conditions like epilepsy.
The newly created neurons display high-frequency firing, a critical property of certain interneurons responsible for brain circuit regulation.
Unlike natural neurons, these engineered cells retain unique features but still exhibit specific neuron behaviors.
This breakthrough suggests that astroglia could be used to repair brain circuitry and improve treatments for neurological disorders.
Future studies will explore further optimization of these induced neurons for clinical application.

New research reveals that individuals with autism are less influenced by the 'bystander effect' in workplaces, emphasizing the strengths they bring to the table. Time to shift our perspectives.

An important story 🧠
CPR was performed on me during a seizure while solo travelling in Peru in June. I was restrained. I fractured my spine, ribs and required pretty extensive shoulder surgery
Here's why correct seizure #FirstAid is so important

That’s Nuts! Eating Walnuts Regularly Improves Cognitive Development and Psychological Maturation in Teens
Teens who added walnuts to their diet for 100 days showed improvements in attention function, and for those with ADHD, frequent walnut consumption was associated with improvements in behavior. Researchers also noted an increase in fluid intelligence in those who frequently consumed walnuts as part of their daily diet.

How well you slept last night and when you felt sleepy to go to bed, and how you felt on waking are MAINLY controlled by how early and how much sunlight you viewed before 10am in the preceding 2-3 days. Other factors matter but that’s the biggie folks.
Non-negotiable biology.

Viewing morning sunlight increases morning cortisol levels by 50%, which is a good thing (early in the day) because it increases immune function, alertness, and “sets” a timer to fall asleep ~14-16 hours later. On clear days do 5-10min. Overcast days 20-30min. Don’t stare.

2 circadian experts offered the same explanation for falling asleep deeply then waking up 2-3 hours later, wide awake. Either you’re going to sleep too late & your natural melatonin is “running out” or 2) Your sunlight viewing is off & your sleep is a nap (biologically speaking).

Using stimulation, researchers found a direct connection between the vagus nerve and learning centers of the brain. Vagus nerve stimulation, they discovered, increases learning in a healthy nervous system.

Neuroplasticity (neural circuit rewiring) is a 2 phase process: it is initiated by alert, focused (even agitated) states, but consolidated during deep & REM sleep & non-sleep-deep-rest (NSDR). Brain changes require toggling back and forth between these two states. #science

When there are multiple competing views in an area of science it’s not a “mess”, or a “controversy”, it means that topic is truly a “field”.
It’s how the game is played.
For unilateral views, read poetry. For scientific understanding, follow and learn about fields of science.
