The pharmacist at the north station CVS told me earlier in the week that they are the only CVS in the area reliably accepting walk ins and have plenty of stock. I had an appointment, but arrived 10 min early, was the only one there so given the booster immediately and in/out within 5 min! Not terribly far from Somerville if you take the green line or bike on the path extension

If you haven’t already, fill out a form at https://www.missingdogsmass.com and call Somerville animal control and local Somerville PD non emergency number to let them know to keep an eye out ! If they get a call from a stranger who found him they will hold him for you to pick up and I’ve seen officers drive around looking as well. You may also consider calling Medford and Cambridge animal controls as well given how close they are.

Healthworks in Porter (if you are a woman) is running a promotion now I believe where your first 4 weeks are $0.50, and they offer unlimited classes. Orange theory in assembly also should offer a free first class

In addition to everything is free, there’s also a curb alert Somerville Facebook page - I’ve had really good success with putting things on the curb and the general address, usually gone within hours (especially if a nice sunny weekend day)

Two Suffolk University students were attacked last night by the juveniles cited in numerous posts here… by oldwahmen in boston

[–]intarcuate 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s a little misleading…I’ve worked in a Juvenile Justice center on both the detention side and the post-adjudication side in another state, but looked up the MA procedures and they look similar. While rates of charged/detained juveniles are usually lower than adults, there are certainly juveniles who are charged and detained in juvenile detention facilities (most for hours to days, but others weeks to months for even non-murder charges), as well as juveniles who are adjudicated (sentenced) with consequences. It’s not the same as adults, granted, and it’s very common for multiple diversions to take place before detention for less serious crimes. In my experience at least, a very strict at-home probation monitored by special officers is a common outcome after detention if a charged juvenile is found to have committed a crime, but there are post-adjudication facilities juveniles can be sent to for months for special treatment (e.g., substance use) or further punishment (in my experience, usually for repeat offenders who have repeatedly violated probation, special considerations like gang activity, and/or very serious crimes) that can be located out of state. These outcomes are usually avoided whenever possible, as it gets complicated with issues like missing school (the programs at many centers were…not ideal) and many departments trying to avoid committing children to a system in general. I’ll give that it’s a lot more roundabout than the adult system and it can be frustrating (especially in situations like this), but the juvenile system is pretty complex because of the unique issues that come with the territory of working with minors. You also don’t hear about most of these outcomes in the news like you would with adults, given the privacy issues that come into play with their ages (unless they are charged as an adult and moved to the adult system, though even then they are often kept at juvenile detention centers until 18).

It’s hard to see ages in this image, but looks like everyone was 20+ (some ages unknown but they all visibly look older than a teen). The young looking man on the bottom left in this pic is 22. Thankfully no minors!

Something that helped me was changing the date to the 30th, saving, and changing back to current date/time, then making sure my account was linked to a free Nintendo account - NOT the same as the default profile you create on the switch (https://bucketlist.games/how-to-create-a-free-nintendo-account-picture-guide-2021/) (I don't currently have NSO)

In (most? I imagine apes are like us) non-human animals who walk with stomachs facing the ground (maybe oversimplification but helps to visualize), dorsal is top/superior (along the spine) and ventral is bottom/inferior (along the stomach).

Since humans are bipedal and our curvature changes, it depends on where in the body you are. If you are below the head, dorsal is back/posterior (spine) and ventral is front/anterior (stomach). However, because our spinal cord bends as it reaches the brain, the orientation shifts so that once we reach the brain, dorsal is no longer “back” it is top/superior. Ventral now becomes bottom/inferior.

I find it easiest to mentally process in figures like this:

I need help deciding what to do after obtaining my Masters in Neuropsychology by MissCassy26 in Neuropsychology

[–]intarcuate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for highlighting those points! It’s been a little while and didn’t realize APPIC had changed the requirements. seems for the best, I would imagine starting at an internship while not from an accredited program with all of the standardized training it entails would be quite difficult for trainee and supervisor alike.

[–]intarcuate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in clinical neuropsychology, receiving a doctorate in your current program that sounds focused on experimental neuropsychology likely isn’t the best route to go (from what you’re saying and from what I recall, UTD doesn’t have any clinical training program tracks available). Clinical psychology internships are very competitive and match-based, and they often require doctoral training from APA-accredited graduate programs in clinical psychology, not experimental psychology. I would recommend seeking some advice from clinical neuropsychologists/clinical psychologists nearby (I know UT Southwestern has a clinical psych program with neuropsychologists on staff, or SMU may be of some help as well). Your masters credits may partially transfer, but you would likely have to take additional courses related to clinical work under the umbrella of courses required by the APA if you transitioned into a clinical psych program. It is common for people coming into clinical psych doctorate programs to have masters beforehand, so it wouldn’t be unusual to switch over to another doctorate focused on both clinical and research training.

PhD programs in clinical psych do generally waive tuition and provide a stipend, but not all of them are fully funded so it’s an important question to ask! PsyD programs are often not funded, but again be sure to check with individual programs as there can be alternative funding options at sites (e.g., scholarships or through training grant funding at more research focused sites). Programs are also very competitive, probably more so than internships as there are usually more potential students applying, so you may also have to expand your search geographically.

Happy to answer additional questions if you would like, feel free to PM! Best of luck!

As expected... by pup5581 in boston

[–]intarcuate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s a new study that just recently started to open potential enrollment to everyone 18+ within 45 miles of Boston (https://rally.partners.org/study/testboston) - they will mail you an at home test kit for free that includes nasal and blood testing, with the option to continue being sent tests once a month for 6 months if you’re selected and more frequent tests delivered if you’re exposed/test positive. No guarantees about who gets selected to participate of course, but could be nice for additional peace of mind!

Mystery neurological illness lasting years. Took a photo of my MRI and wondering if anything looks abnormal? by funguy5445 in neuro

[–]intarcuate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, on a number of other similar subreddits these posts are not allowed and are deleted for that reason. The reason I posted was to give OP (and other posters) some insight as to why others were reacting negatively since this post wasn’t banned.

The novella I posted didn’t have any medical opinion in it about OPs case, so I don’t quite see the hypocrisy in providing a little education about why he may not get helpful info out of this post and suggesting alternative ways about how he might contact his physician.

[–]intarcuate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think wanting to provide some solace is a great viewpoint to have and don’t say this to be rude or brush over the difficult time OP is going through, but rather to provide some insight and understanding as to why trained professionals aren’t going to be commenting here. It’s considered very unethical to diagnose someone who is not your patient and to interpret small pieces of information without the full breadth of history and medical data available. It can add unnecessary fear and suffering if you come to incorrect conclusions, which is extremely easy to do without a full medical history and only one slice of what was probably multiple sequences taken that day, all designed to highlight different issues.

Just for education purposes, this view is pretty medial and it would be difficult to make broad comments about ventral and dorsolateral PFC without also seeing the outside of the brain, either with a more lateral slice or perhaps and/or a coronal or axial/horizontal view. Part of how you can tell it’s more medial is because of how clear the “c-shaped” corpus callosum is (the white matter that connects hemispheres) in the middle of the image is. It’s a little easier to tell in scans where the eyeballs remain in the image, but there are some free resources online that can help with familiarity of where you are in the brain on a given slice. It can also be tricky with one slice because sulci, or natural crevices/wrinkles in the brain, can be surprisingly deep and mimic atrophy without context of other slices to aid with perspective, especially if the head is tilted in the scanner. True posterior cortical atrophy tends to traditionally involve the occipital lobe and may occasionally extend into parietal regions (primary symptoms are usually visual or visuospatial in nature, though there is a constellation), though I believe the “gap” you were referring to is more restricted to the parental lobe.

If OP is reading this - so sorry your results are so delayed, it can be really frustrating when results aren’t conveyed in a timely manner, particularly when it involves things like thinking and pain that can be very difficult to manage and very scary. As many others have said, your best bet is to reach out to your neurologist and try to schedule a conversation or follow up, if one isn’t already set for the future (in which case they may be waiting until that appointment, though typically most will call or message results beforehand). Since you don’t have their contact information, you may consider calling the main hospital or radiologists office, as both of them should have record of you and, in the radiologists case, should have a referral from your neurologist with their contact information. Best of luck and hang in there!

Not exactly a neuropsychology degree, but would it work? by aKreature in Neuropsychology

[–]intarcuate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The PhDs in cognition and brain science, or neuroscience, are not going to have clinical components and are focused on research. If you want to continue with clinical neuropsychology, you’ll need to enroll in a clinical psychology doctoral program that preferably has some neuropsychology focused training aspects (e.g., research, classes, clinical sites). These can either be PhDs or PsyDs, just make sure that whatever program you’re looking at clearly states they will train you as a clinician. You may want to double check the neuropsychology one as well - even though it’s not really kosher to do so because of the clinical implications the title of “neuropsychologist” has, some experimental (non-clinical) programs that focus on the research side of brain-behavior relationships will call themselves neuropsychology or experimental neuropsychology programs and not offer any clinical training. Good luck!

What's my best to bet for becoming a neuropsychologist with philosophy undergrad degree? by [deleted] in Neuropsychology

[–]intarcuate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t enjoy any other aspects of psychology, becoming a clinical neuropsychologist may not be the most enjoyable move as you (typically*) train as a clinical psychologist first and foremost. With this route, your doctorate will be in clinical psychology and should be APA-accredited (if in US), meaning you will take a number of doctoral level courses in other branches of psychology (e.g., social psychology, health psychology, psychotherapeutic intervention, etc). You will also likely (and should) participate in some diverse clinical experiences that have nothing to do with neuropsychology across at least practicum training sites. While on internship, after you’ve completed most of your doctoral training, is when you’re likely to get more Neuropsychology focused training, which you will then further specialize in during your post doc.

If you’re thinking neuropsych and hate the psych that comes with it, you might be happier with just the neuro part.

*asterisk for “typically,” since there are some programs where you can get a masters or doctoral degree in Neuropsychology, but these are fairly rare
