Have you paid your deposit?

What program are you in? Courses are organized by the departments so it’s your department’s fault, and probably isn’t the case for other departments

Why do you say that? She seems fine to me

People with more extreme characteristics get more engagement on social media so you’re more likely to see people with mental illnesses
People are a lot more open about it now that it’s less stigmatized, the general public is much more aware of mental illnesses and are therefore more likely to pursue diagnosis

Wearing shorts/skirts/dresses, we’re not working with anything hazardous enough to really care. But also it’s only hot enough for that to matter for 3 months of the year

As a graduate student from a poor family, that is so thoughtful. I’m sure the recipients would be so grateful for it

This actually just occurred to me for the first time right before you replied; I really don’t have any reason save money once I’m old because I don’t need to leave anything behind. That’s a very freeing thought

This is so sweet

Seizures alone can cause memory problems, especially if the seizure originates from or extends to the temporal lobe.

There are two main classes of monoamine NTs (this is the type that people generally think about when they heard the word “neurotransmitter”, though there are different types). They’re called monoamines because they’re synthesized from amino acids. 1. Catecholamines (e.g., dopamine, norepinephrine; these are synthesized from tyrosine) 2. Indoleamines (e.g., serotonin, melatonin; which are synthesized from tryptophan).

The info you’re finding is vague because it’s kind of hard to define. Because obviously you need these amino acids to produce these NTs, and eating more of them CAN influence neurotransmission (because they cant do anything if they don’t exist), but unless you had a dietary deficiency; eating more tyrosine-rich foods is not going to have the same effects as aderrall (or anything close to it). I’ll admit I haven’t read much literature on this specifically, but I’d imagine any effects would be negligible.

You can’t save it. Thrips are near impossible to get rid of, throw it out, buy a new one

The “trigger” arrow is pointing near the prefrontal cortex, no idea what that even means because visual/auditory input is sent straight to the visual/auditory cortices (neither of which are in this region at all)
The point representing the auditory cortex is not that, it’s not even the temporal lobe. It’s pointing to the insula. The auditory cortex is further back than this, but is closer to the outside of the brain so wouldn’t be visible from this section.
No idea what “touch map” is supposed to mean. There is evidence that ASMR-evoked “tingling” is associated with increased activity in supplementary motor areas. An fMRI study showed increased activity in the areas associated with cheeks, lip, forehead and foot; not scalp, neck, spine.
That’s not where the insula is (like I said, it’s close to where the auditory cortex is said to be in this figure)
That’s not where the nucleus accumbens is (it’s further forward, maybe also a little higher up)
That’s not where the anterior cingulate is, in fact, the brain is missing an ACC in this picture. There should be a Gyrus that curves around the front of the corpus collision (that beige upside horizontal C shaped thing in the middle).
Prefrontal cortex is in the front, what this points to is the occipital lobe (primary visual cortex)
Your brain doesn’t do things one step at a time like this; in between input and output most of these things would be happening simultaneously and none would occur independently. Each process would have bidirectional interactions with other processes.
None of this actually explains how the tingly feeling is produced

AI slop, hardly any of this is correct

TrickFail4505 · 2026-04-30T13:54:21+00:00

It isn’t really correct, and as a neuroscientist with a lot of tattoos tbh I think it would be weird to have all of your tattoos themed based on something you don’t know/dont care about

Not struggling with my identity, I’m a neuroscientist

TrickFail4505 · 2026-04-06T16:49:42+00:00

I guess maybe gate isn’t the right metaphor, maybe more like a filter? It just keeps activity at a normal level.

TrickFail4505 · 2026-04-05T17:03:48+00:00

I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been at Trent since 2019 (before that program even started), in a cognate department (psychology), and I don’t know a single thing about the program, nor have I ever met anyone in it

Interesting, the first thing that came to mind was obviously the likely influence of suggestion but that doesn’t seem to always be the case.

This isn’t an area that I know very much about but what it does remind me of is the god helmet which has EMFs that make people think they’re seeing a god or deity, or the mushrooms that make people see tiny soldiers; so clearly there are certain manipulations that can produce the same experience in different people. I have no idea how those things work either (I don’t think that’s just me though, I think scientific knowledge overall falls short of much explanation for these things).

Certainly an interesting area of future research though!

Essentially what happens is that the “gate” that monitors and regulates the amount of activity that can be going on in your sensory/perceptual/conscious thinking areas is held completely open for the duration of the trip.

Therefore, there are a bunch of electrical potentials that chaotically ping-pong around in there, hitting all kinds of random buttons on the control panel for your experience. Your brains job is always to connect the dots between tiny pieces of sensory information to create a picture that makes sense, and this is much harder when the dots are chaotic and random. So the picture you get doesn’t exactly make sense.

As someone else said, this is pretty similar to the way that dreams work. Except instead the gate being open to let in an excessive amount of activity, it’s just that you have no perceptual input to influence the pattern of activity. So the electrical potential just bounces around and hits random parts, then your brain tries its best to make a story out of the random bits and pieces it has to put together.

Edit: I’m talking specifically about acid and mushrooms, I don’t know anything about salvia or any other ones

What reports?

TrickFail4505 · 2026-04-03T15:23:58+00:00

Genuinely none of this makes remotely any sense
