Evolution is parsimonious in circuit usage.CA2 contributes to spatial and social cognition. TLTW IMO: Oxtr + V1br may bias CA2 recruitment to social cues to support social memory. See this study w/ Amigo2 Cre mice.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12264-025-01535-9

Barren, grey and yet rewarding to the senses on a morning run!

Cant beat this weather for a run!

The irresistible allure of running thru florid imagery with Van Halen, White Lion, Joan Jett, Joy Division, REM, Glass Tiger, and “It’s my life” triggered memory recall. Natural Synesthesia!

Happy Diwali to all those who observe it. Diwali signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. We will all benefit.

The concomitant warmth of fire and human-gaze triggered oxytocin is thought to have transformed the beastly wolf into domesticated hound.

Learned a lot about myself and training to push the “limit”. Need to work more on fueling (carb intake). Running community is uplifting, in the pain cave together until the end when we revel in the journey completed. W/ @singhcredible.bsky.social
and Victor, friends on this journey.

Hardest race of my life. Finished strong with other inspiring runners. 8.5 hours of 🏃🏽‍♀️ 70-82F /94% H/2500 ft elevation. 25 x 100 mg salt intake to reverse two bouts of leg cramps. So much time alone in these beautiful woods avoiding rabbit holes of weakness..

Never thought Id lose a Saturday to an UltraM.The entry/exit from woods in Ultras is such a primal attraction even if the last stretch is a pain cave. So much was mental (not giving up) and calmly managing challenge (salt, cramps, roots/rocks) 50K Carlisle Fall Classic Done! 1/n
