Regarding the eco- #climate clusterfuck and our collective inaction, I heard the comparison of our behaviour to the slow-boiled frog not climbing out of the pan while it still can.

You know, someone should do a #brainscan of the frog and find the region that is governing its inaction. And then find that very region in humans' own brains.
For a show-and-tell: look, how similar we are to frogs! And we as species have the audacity to negligently destroy their species' habitat and their way of life?!

#Yoda would say: Strong in this humankind the brainstem is.
We tell ourselves and others how very smart we think we are as species – which somehow, unquestioned, justifies all the overly destructive behaviour. Smart, my ass.

I have an MRI scheduled this week and my background anxiety levels are starting to creep WAY up. Ugh. #mri #multiplesclerosis #brainscan #claustrophobia #anxietydisorder #anxiety

Where do we want to use such technology?
Where not?
Why exactly *this* threshold and not any other?
How to differentiate?
How to enforce it?

BTW: It is a big step from «fMRI rendering of what the person is currently looking at» to «fMRI rendering of what the person is thinking about» or even «fMRI rendering of what the person is desperately trying *not* to thin about».

Big thanks to #BTS #BlackPink #SHINee and #Itzy for helping me through today's #BrainScan at #UCLAHealth.

For the uninitiated, this process is a bit like having your head jammed into a dot-matrix printer that's inside a microwave oven, and the upbeat sounds of #Kpop was exactly what I needed to ease myself through the process.

What can #brainscan studies reveal about brain development and #neurodivergent conditions like #autism and #ADHD? Come find out at this free virtual event with #macfellow @DrDamienFair and @ZEROTOTHREE @miriamelena88 on 3/23, 12pm PT. Register👇 https://arevie.ws/3SCLTAR

TITLE: DiD, Vestibular Balance Issues, Brainscans, and Neurology

I'm a mental health clinician looking for resources and research papers
on the intersection of #DiD ( #Dissociative Identity Disorder),
#vestibular anomalies, and #neurology .  I am familiar with most of the
counseling theory around DiD -- but what does it look like from a
#brainscan ( #CTscan #MRI ) point of view?  Do the #subpersonalities 
exhibit different brain activity when activated?

So say that a patient with DiD ( #MultiplePersonality ) was undergoing
treatment for vestibular balance disorders and switching some between
alters as the exercises were done.  Is anything known on what this
medically would look like in the brain?  How a neurologist would be
likely to view the behaviors witnessed?

Thanks,

Psychedelic Drug Shown to Relieve PTSD Brain Signals

A small clinical trial shows #psychotherapy with the #psychedelic drug #MDMA generates #brain signals that help relieve symptoms in people with post-traumatic stress disorder.
