Blood tests are being heralded as a new, less invasive and time-consuming way to determine risk and aid in an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.

It's kinda hilarious (if you imagine a mind is responsible for evolution) how much of human disease etiology looks like someone said, "Eh, it's good enough. Not like they'll live long enough for it to matter when it stops working" (context: reading about post-TBI neurogenesis and epilepsy)

Here is an example of what #neurology and #PhilosophyOfTheMind are faced with trying to elucidate #Consciousness - that slippery notion of ‘who we are’.
I am neither a scientist nor philosopher, but it seems to me that looking for consciousness in the electrical potential activity of brain cells is never going to explain a whole lot. Imagine trying to explain an electron by solely studying magnetism in excruciating detail as best we can with instruments designed to detect only what we theorise is measurable in a magnetic effect - I.e. to see what we wish to see. That is similar to what neurologists are doing by measuring brain cell activity as a way to identify, and hence classify, consciousness.
In the end, the research may prove fruitful and lead to other discoveries and theories about brain cell activity and the communication channels of the body, but that is the only thing which will be elucidated, brain cell activy - nothing like consciousness (a slippery concept as I said).
The link will take you to the abstract, summary, results and conclusion of the scientific paper, but the paper itself is behind a paywall I’m sad to say (#Grifters have to make money out of publishing someone’s hard work - so dictates capitalism where profit is made from someone else’s sweat and effort, Bah! It wouldn’t be so distastful if $ were extracted only to recoup #publishing costs and wages, but shareholders? Leeches!)

Using the health records of more than 280,000 older adults in Wales, researchers found those who received the shingles vaccine were 20 per cent less likely to develop dementia over the next seven years than those who did not receive the vaccine.

"Using blood-based biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and progression has changed the practice of oncology," noted co-senior study author Nicholas Theodore, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Neurosurgical Spine Center. "Utilizing similar technology, this test is truly an example of personalized medicine in traumatic injury."
We've incorporated watching foreign language films with subtitles as part of my #Parkinsons Plus MSA occupational therapy. Hearing the foreign language and having to read the words while observing the movie and the characters works different elements and zones of my brain thus "reawakening" brain nerves. #neurology We will do just about any novel therapy to keep the brain and nerves functioning throughout my body.
Now on to the movies: A lot of the movies are independent films.
The big movie studios could learn a lesson from some of these independent films. Enough with all the production room cgi garbage and just shoot a feck'n good story.
We've been watching independent and low budget movies and the difference from a computer-generated editing production with effects added and straight filming is tremendous.
I think the studios exec should watch some independent lgbtq movies. Get back to filming good stories.
Could you imagine what the studios would do to An Officer and A Gentlemen today? Probably enhance it up with unnecessary cgi garbage.
So I gave it a try. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and my friend still doesn’t understand why it’s not OK to just deport people or lock them up without due process.
His response: “They’re immigrants and criminals after all.”

In 1990, George Franklin was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison based on the testimony of his 28-year-old daughter Eileen. Her memory of the murder was relatively fresh at just one year. But the murder happened 20 years earlier. According to the prosecution, Eileen repressed her memory of the murder. Then much later she recovered it in complete detail. The case launched a huge debate between memory researchers who argue there is no credible scientific evidence that repressed memories exist and practicing clinicians who claim that repressed memories are real.

PsyTrance Neural/Aural Pathways
Thirty minutes awake, checking messages, and this track smashes its way into my conscious stream of LC-NA focus... and then, so may it into yours...

What is this LC-NA that i speak of? ... Why does it come up during periods where my mind gravitates towards wanting to hear PsyTrance? There's an old research document that I've been writing over the years, describing "'aural / neuronal data processing' as it relates to sensory response associations within the neuro-endocrine system's programming pathways", and this describes how certain musical response evokes a chemical response deep within the Dopaminergic Pathways of the brain; it's a neurological look into the scientific manner which define how and why we are capable of the "Experience and Feeling of Music".
Intrinsically involved with the aforementioned topic, inescapably so, is the LC...
> The locus coeruleus (/sɪˈruːliəs/)[or locus caeruleus, locus ceruleus], which in Latin means "blue spot", is a nucleus in the pons of the brainstem involved with physiological responses. The LC s the principal site for brain synthesis of norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
> The locus coeruleus and the areas of the body affected by the norepinephrine it produces are described collectively as the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system or LC-NA system.[4] Norepinephrine may also be released directly into the blood from the adrenal medulla.
If you've never had the pleasure (yes, this is sarcasm) of being jabbed in the thigh with one or more EpiPens (epinephrine == adrenaline), well let me tell you that it's a whole hell of a lot of being hit with a truckload of norepinephrine (nor == 'next to'), both of which (adrenaline and noradrenaline == epinephrine and norepinephrine) comprise two of the three Catecholamines .. the third being Dopamine...
ok ok brain, Enough 6am neuroendocrinology ... I have things to attend to over at the Cytochrome P450 medabolic modulator station (CYP450, specifically 3A4 and 2C6 and 2C19 inhibitors) aka "a cabinet in the kitchen where there are mad-scientist/alchemist organic compounds). More on that some other time...
