If you made a list of things that could advance the field of science, having a mouse watch “The Matrix” and “Star Wars” probably wouldn’t make it to the top. And yet, scientists recently were able to map and render into a 3D atlas a small portion of a mouse’s brain about the size of a grain of sand. The results were a revelation. “"A millimeter seems small, but within that millimeter there are kilometers of wiring," Jacob Reimer, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine said. Read more from @LiveScience, including the role those movies played:

"And this is where we come to our current Secretary of Health, Robert Kennedy Jr. He points at the increase in children diagnosed with autism as a crisis in need of a solution. He blames vaccines for our “disability,” flying fearlessly away from the current scientific consensus. This is incredibly damaging to us, as individuals and as a community, regardless of age or severity.

The vast majority of us -- assuming that we don’t also have other, more disabling conditions -- do not want to be seen as suffering from a mistake. We are who we are not because of vaccines or bad mothering. Our existence is a feature, not a bug. Genetics is the primary cause of autism, if you want to understand why it happened to this or that individual. More generally, autism is one of the ways to be human. The idea that autism can be cured or overcome is as insulting as the idea that gay people can be cured or that to be successful women should act more like men. We don’t want to be cured; we want to be accepted and allowed to be who we are. RFK Jr. stands for the opposite of that. Whether he understands it or not, he is guilty of inciting hatred and self-hatred against our community.

We defy simple categorization. The vast majority of us aren’t intellectually deficient. We have all the emotions and empathize with others. We see allistic social rules and cues, body language and facial expressions, and those linguistic tics and mannerisms that enforce social pecking orders. But other things speak to us more loudly. We’re intensely curious, so we ask indelicate questions. We want to get to the heart of the matter, so we don’t pad our words with softeners. We want the world to make sense, and often go out of our way to make it so, even when those around us don’t notice, care, or do anything about it."

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.

Mastodon community,can you help me beat the LinkedIn algorithm and get this post more views from people with #MultipleSclerosis and #Neurology doctors?
linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:l

We have a project just for MS and #AI, gregory-ms.com/ and nothing would make us happier than finding hope.

www.linkedin.com#ai #multiplesclerosis | Bruno AmaralI have a major and urgent stake in #AI and #MultipleSclerosis, and this paper validates what we have been doing with https://gregory-ms.com/. We have the biggest annotated dataset of papers on MS, and with enough resources, it isn't impossible to build a chatbot tailored just for MS. We could also mine over 33k papers to find which proteins, compounds, or current medicines can benefit people with MS. What keeps us from this goal is the lack of engagement from the Neurology experts. Point the way, we will find a path to get there.

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.
