Disavowed or ignored harder “negative” feelings create inner shame and often projection onto another. Best to keep a balanced & up to date account by continually addressing the more difficult emotions. It’s just good math and peace of mind. 😌

Using multimodal imaging, Tohyama et al. show that individuals with migraine have white matter damage in the trigeminal nerve, which is associated with neuroinflammation and with reduced communication with a key trigeminal sensory nucleus in the brainstem. tinyurl.com/3ue76n8e

1⃣The Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium Described across 4 papers, a major effort harmonizing aptamer-based proteomics across 35,000 serum, plasma, and CSF samples from neurodegenerative disease-focused cohorts. 👉A key step toward biomarker discovery and

It’s that time again. ☺️

Researchers have discovered that gut bacteria produce a molecule that not only induces but also causes atherosclerosis, the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in the arteries that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. This unexpected link between microbes and cardiovascular

Mechanisms over Metaphors. Also reminds me of what Eric Conklin was bringing attention to. Neuroscience leads the way. ✨

Key Facts: 1 - Neurological Roots: Trauma changes brain circuits that regulate emotion and impulse control. 2 - Key Region: The nucleus reuniens connects memory and decision-making systems and is central to trauma-linked aggression. 3 - Advanced Tools: Researchers use CRISPR,

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) plays a critical role in dissociative PTSD, modulating bodily awareness, not just fear. In patients with the dissociative subtype, BNST connectivity reorganises toward interoceptive hubs like the insula and posterior cingulate
