In the biohacking/wellness/supplements space, there’s no shortage of miracle cures going around, with more misinformation and twisted interpretations of research than anyone could ever hope to debunk.

Still, I’m hoping that long-form analyses like this one here, tackling methylene blue, can at least teach people how to be a bit more critical about these trends. I’d love to hear your thoughts and appreciate any help sharing this with others.

#Stories and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Narrative by Paul B. Armstrong, 2020

This book explains how the brain interacts with the social world—and why stories matter.
How do our brains enable us to tell and follow stories? And how do stories affect our minds? In Stories and the Brain, Paul B. Armstrong analyzes the cognitive processes involved in constructing and exchanging stories, exploring their role in the neurobiology of mental functioning.

Every day, your #brain fills up with toxic chemicals and bits of harmful detritus, the effluent of thinking and doing, the cost of cognition. If you are healthy and sleep well, a natural sewage disposal system kicks in overnight and cleans and clears your mind while you're zonked. Poor sleep and aging muck with the system, though. New science helps us understand what's going on and how to keep the system functioning properly. medium.com/wise-well/dementia- #neuroscience #dementia

In a First, T cells are Found in the Healthy Human Brain

"We think of T cells as something that fights off infection & causes autoimmune disease, but the surprise of this study is that T cells have a different role in biology that we were unaware of," said David Hafler, MD.
"With this paper, we've definitively shown that their presence is not just disease-related but part of normal physiology, & that changes everything."
