I came across photos I took in 2022 for my FB advocacy group. The notebook log was used to create a graph using MedHelp sleep tracker (unfortunately no longer around). This and actigraphy for 2 weeks of freerunning sleep is what enabled a diagnosis for my teen's sighted #Non24.

Reading that more than 24,000 grant reviews are being rescheduled due to the shutdown. Because of that only 30-35% (vs 50%) will be discussed at study sections.

"Hold still little buddy, I'm going to floss your teeth!" This would be amazing, especially for little ones who are afraid of needles (yeah, that was me). Btw, how does one floss mice teeth?
Floss as an alternative to needles for vaccine delivery!? Very cool. Flossing mice must take some skill! 😂
I shared the original article some time ago. Here’s a more digestible read. Imagine being able to order your vaccines on line or from a vending machine and administering them to yourself or others by merely flossing. You just have to have some teeth. 😉 #Science 🧪

I found out a few months ago that I have a mutation of the MYBPC3 gene. This may explain why my muscles can handle a long hike, but my heart cannot.

“The prospect of the First Peoples being forcibly stopped or detained is harrowing and reminiscent of this country’s original treatment of the First Peoples,” Galanda said. “It’s also deeply troubling that in 2025, the first people of this country have to essentially look over their shoulders.”

Fascinating and ground breaking work. I don't think we've ever looked at sinle neuron activity in the human thalamus before.
Thalamus for vision BCIs
Scientists have recorded single neurons in the human LGN for the first time, revealing how it links the retina to visual cortex. When one eye is closed, neurons tuned to that eye reduce their activity, while neurons tuned to the open eye increase in spikerate

Mind blanking is associated with a greater heart/brain decoupling, complicating the idea of an attentional switch between external & internal environments!
