Even if small differences exist between the brains of male and female individuals, the two are similar for the most part. So why are the differences highlighted more often?

A 2021 paper by @Lise_Eliot et al. found that other than size, sex differences in the brain were “trivial and population-specific”. That is, it concluded, the human brain *wasn’t* sexually dimorphic. /2

@Lise_Eliot and @Fausto_Sterling have said that the gendered ways of society and culture can affect an individual’s biology. If they are right, sex differences in the brain could be *created*, rather than innate. /3

A few years ago i used to do my own #research, did proteomic analysis of mouse brain, was searching for molecules which are important for neuroplasticity and published those data. 👇🏻 but today … 🧵

This is a good time to redirect frustration and pain onto creative outlets and prayer.
By all means, do your online activism.
But balance that out with self-care Address your mental, spiritual and emotional needs.
Self-neglect will not solve the problem.

Look for signs of burnout (use Google) and assess yourself honestly
Whilst your voice matters, so too does your spirit.
Take a break from Twitter to recharge for a few days.
You can continue supporting your cause in other ways.

Redirect the brain to different activities for a change. Art, games on your phone, deep breathing, music.
This isn't escapism. Some of the best ideas come when we're in the middle of doing something unrelated. (Like Archimedes shouting EUREKA! In his bathtub)

We keep reading or hearing folks saying
" Unlearning is the new Learning."
But what exactly do they mean by this ? 🤔

Our learning process begins the day we are born & continues till the day we decay and die.
However consciously our learning is restricted to just a few quality years.
The rest is mostly sub(un)conscious.
Now therein lies the problem & the solution !

Interesting #Trivia
The subconscious mind goes beyond learning new skills. It basically stores our beliefs & determines and monitors when & what information must be sent to the conscious mind.
Ever observed how a child is not afraid of anything including 🔥 initially?🤔

I am trained in #developmental #psychology and #neuroscince. I have been screaming the #teenagebrain is #underreconstruction from the rooftops! Am totally ashamed of my peers who wilfully ignore this. #neuroplasticity #frontallobes #psychologists #gender #rogd #trans #detrans
The teenage brain is under reconstruction. The prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until minimum aged 25. A bit longer for males. The prefrontal cortex is largely responsible for: decision making, planning, organisation, focusing, impulsivity, aka executive functions

3/ What’s the Mechanism?
Our brain’s “trash” clearance (like the body’s Lymphatic system but by brain’s “glial” cells & called Glymphatics) kicks into ⬆️ gear in sleep. So less sleep is like your waste management system going on strike. Kapische??

What is Mind?
An emergent phenomenon.
An emergent phenomenon.
Which then means, that Mindlessness would be when any of those connecting processes [indicated by arrows] are distorted or perhaps they cease to function [frozen, ruptured, dysfunctional] momentarily or for longer durations.
This then leads to immense clarity on what constitutes "consciousness".
Again, an emergent phenomenon, not unchanging, that arises from the operations of the 8 senses. I include interoception,proprioception and awareness of mental formations by the Mind,in the spectrum of senses

anxiety in follow up today after 1 year of CBD. I am compelled to share his significant improvements
He no longer spits, hits,throws things , harms himself or his parents

2/ His #sensitivities have improved enough to go to an amusement park all day without any meltdowns
His #rigidity has improved. His mom can now make an unplanned stop to pick up milk or run an errand without a major outburst

3/ His principal and teachers have upgraded his school attendance from 830-1030am, to 1/2 day, to now attending school full time. Also he no longer runs away
He is socially more comfortable, his mom notes that all the kids at school now say hi when she drops him off.

(2/n) A lot of people only have vague ideas about what they really want. They desire more money, a better job, someone to love or the chance to travel somewhere exotic.
You may have similar desires of your own. But if you want to make them a reality, you need to be precise.

3/n So rather than saying “I want money,” say, “I want exactly enough money to open a restaurant.” And when it comes to love, figure out exactly what you’re looking for. Maybe it’s someone who is funny, kind and doesn’t mind that you don’t want to have kids.
