I want to remind you all that not wanting to do anything or having to stimulate yourself with low energy stuff like eating or TV can be indicative of #AutisticBurnout for some, and that the old dopamine systems may need a bit of a reset.
If we think of burnout as an umbrella term for a state that can include fatigue, anxiety, depression and so on, then any of the symptoms of those will fall under the umbrella condition of burnout. With #depression, #anhedonia is a symptom for many.
#Anhedonia refers to a lack of pleasure. When I was in #burnout, I didn't want anything, I didn't know what I wanted and I couldn't even do things I actually loved. I ate and ate and ate to try and stimulate myself and kickstart my brain functioning.

⚡️ New week, new release with tons of things. 🧵

1/ 📁 Views nested within Documents (experimental).
Now you can create local Views inside Documents. For example, you may create some temporary report and not pollute space with temporary views. Or you can replace... Folders! Image
2/ 💨 CSV Import 2.0: The new CSV Import feature has been re-written from scratch and can handle HUGE CSV files up to 50 Mb. New Import is more robust and stable, so data migration into Fibery should be much easier now. Image
3/ 💅 Create Documents from selected text.

You can now create new Documents from selected text. Just select some text, invoke the "Create Entity" command and create it. You can even create many documents from a list fast. Very fast.

1/ #Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that has been around for thousands of years. It was originally used by indigenous people in South America for religious & medicinal purposes, and was later introduced to Europe and the US in the late 19th century. Image
2/ Cocaine works by increasing levels of #dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates pleasure and reward, by blocking its reuptake leading to an accumulation in the synpatic cleft. This leads to feelings of euphoria, increased energy and alertness, and decreased appetite.
3/ Serotonin and norepinehphrine reuptake are also inhibited, leading to increases in those neurotransmitters as well. Sodium channels are also blocked, slowing down the action potentials, thus leading to its medical use as a local anesthetic.

Parents, are you a source of #cortisol & #catecholamines for your kids or #dopamine, #oxytocin, and #serotonin? If it’s the former, then don’t call their teenage years “rebellion” when they struggle with drug/alcohol abuse, addictions to food/porn/tech, etc. & are never home.
The data on the neurobiology & neurochemistry of parenting is clear. I’ve been in the religious world my entire life & I’ve never heard leaders teach about effects of parenting on a child’s brain. I have heard legalistic emphasis, however, on “obedience.” a.co/d/fW46H5f

🚨New paper in @Nature reveals link between #microbiome & #exercise motivation!🧠🐁

👉Provides foundational insight that could lead to dietary practices & supplements to promote exercise motivation

1/ Thread🧵👇
2/ The study in question is a mouse study, as you can really perform these fine mechanistic study in animal models

Data show that genetics variation among mice was a minor contributor and the variations in microbiome composition were more important for physical performance...
3/ To show the microbiome mediates the effects, they knocked out the microbiome with antibiotics in high-performer mice and the result was an impairment physical performance by 50%! (2a)

By contrast, microbiome transplant could enhance performance.

Instant gratification the millennials patience killer.

A thread...
Have you ever wondered what the average attention span of an average person is?

It's 7-12 seconds.
What is the reason for the drop in the attention span of a person?

Again it's instant gratification.

We are excited to share our new work @Nature, led by @Lenka_Dohnal, uncovering a gut-brain pathway that regulates the motivation for #exercise. (1/7)

nature.com/articles/s4158…
We assessed the exercise capacity of a large cohort of deeply-profiled genetically-diverse mice and identified the gut #microbiome as an important contributor to exercise performance. (2/7) Image
Using exercise experiments in germ-free mice, we identified several bacterial species that can drive physical activity. (3/7) Image

A woman who had a constant urge to move her right leg while sitting or lying down

1. 42-year old woman consulted me last month with complaints of constant urge to move her right leg for past 12 years. Symptoms occurred mostly in evenings and nights.
#MedTwitter #neurotwitter
2. She would develop crawling sensation and discomfort in right leg while sitting for long or lying down, which would go away only after she jerked or vigorously shook her leg.
She remained reasonably well during the day.
3. These symptoms occurred on daily basis causing sleep disturbance (she could #sleep only 5 hours at night).
She felt tired during day and found it hard to concentrate.
She was unable to sit for long while travelling or during meetings during daytime.

These are the 23 reasons why #TikTok is problematic in terms of #manipulation, #addiction and #privacy & why #children and #teenagers should be kept away from it:

(for those interested: the full article about the topic, with all relevant links: linkedin.com/pulse/i-tiktok…)
1- Reduced space for #autonomy and #choice; videos are pushed to the user since 1st use. In a web that respects human dignity, people - especially #children and #teenagers - should get used to choose and think about what they want to be exposed to
2- Increased potential of #manipulation and #exposure of younger and more impressionable audiences, as the content will be pushed to them and they will be hooked by age-inappropriate content (and be recommended more content like this)

"Good intentions and accurate data still aren’t enough. You also need to know that you’ve collected the right data and asked the right questions, and these are both much, much harder than the introductory effective altruist material tends to let on." greeneracresvaluenetwork.wordpress.com/2022/05/28/dai…

Here's my TLDR of the @hubermanlab X Anna Lemke podcast, for all your #dopamine hits of pleasure

open.spotify.com/episode/3SLviV…

Warning, spoilers below
T9 - dopamine I'd at tonic or homeostatic levels in the brain. It's deviations from those that cause joy or sadness.

Lower levels of tonic/base dopamine is associated with depression
T10 - chronic dopamine hits (social media, sex, drugs, etc) = lower base/tonic dopamine levels AT ALL OTHER TIMES

I’ve had dozens of inquiries about shin splints, hamstring injuries, and generally injury-prone sprint groups in this, our first pandemic track season.

The view from 30,000 feet... “Why does this surprise us?”

Contributing factors (thread)

⬇️
1) For some kids, it was nearly 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days since their last track meet.

2) Sprinting is the most EXTREME exercise in the human experience.

3) Running is not sprinting.

4) Many of our best male athletes spent the LONG off-season as body-builders.

⬇️
5) 🏋️‍♀️ and body armor are critical for injury prevention in collision sports. However, body-building, weight gain, and flex-posing 💪 are recipes for ⬆️ exposure to many non-contact injuries. Strong muscles can put ⬆️ stress on connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, bones, etc) ⬇️
