- Kevin Owens on X (@FightOwensFight): How much time do you spend listening to (or watching, apparently) other people’s conversations with their mothers, you little weirdo creep? You’re a perfect example of the damage that hair bleach can do to someone’s brain over time. https://x.com/FightOwensFight/status/1866558845633347599?t=0lt0s3XBzFCRxDMnq0INsA 28 comments squaredcircle
- Scientists find a gene that over-stabilizes neuron connections. In animal model, shutting it down causes brain to return to malleable state that rewires itself much faster when learning or recovering from damage such as due to strokes http://www.neomatica.com/2014/11/04/drug-unlocks-malleable-fast-learning-child-like-state-adult-brain/ 14 comments science
- Scientists begin to reveal the profound changes in conscious experience that take place while we fall asleep.

- Celebrations and coping with stress are the top reasons for blackout drinking, suggests a new study based on hundreds of Twitter tweets. Caused by drinking too much too fast, the person remains conscious but can't remember what happens later, and may lead to risk and long-term damage to the brain. https://www.upi.com/health_news/2019/07/26/twitter-sheds-light-on-why-people-drink-until-they-black-out/1271564149005/ 281 comments science
- Mars-bound astronauts face chronic dementia risk. Exposure to highly energetic charged particles – much like those found in the galactic cosmic rays that will bombard astronauts during extended spaceflights – causes significant long-term brain damage in test rodents. https://news.uci.edu/research/mars-bound-astronauts-face-chronic-dementia-risk-from-galactic-cosmic-ray-exposure/ 492 comments science
