#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Brigitte #Falkenburg “#Myth #Determinism or the #limits of #brain research”
Her research covers topics of #philosophy of nature, #philosophy of science and #philosophy of #physics as well as #modern #metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of technology. She has already published a number of well-known publications on these topics, which are only mentioned here as examples:

Idk whether it’s the ginkgo and B-vitamin mix or one of the universe or my brain being nice to me, but story taking shape. Still on the weird and sad, but not as much as before. Might be keeping all six kids, added Leo back after I posted the photo of five (edited that toot with a photo of six).
Now to find my phone that I haven’t seen for days. My mum and I have searched quite well. It’s switched off so no pinging it from the iPad.

If you made a list of things that could advance the field of science, having a mouse watch “The Matrix” and “Star Wars” probably wouldn’t make it to the top. And yet, scientists recently were able to map and render into a 3D atlas a small portion of a mouse’s brain about the size of a grain of sand. The results were a revelation. “"A millimeter seems small, but within that millimeter there are kilometers of wiring," Jacob Reimer, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine said. Read more from @LiveScience, including the role those movies played:

"They managed to do something that we haven’t done as a neuroscience community in basically all of our history, which is to be able to map the activity of neurons onto the wiring on a very large population of neurons."

#TopicOfTheDay:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a #Degenerative #Brain condition that affects the movement, mental health, sleep, and pain of people.
It's the most common motor brain disease, affecting at least 1% of people over 60 worldwide.
PD gets worse over time. There is no cure, but therapies and medicines can reduce symptoms.

I started researching this topic with unbridled (and apparently unfounded) optimism, hoping to highlight an example of a public health problem that we handled so well. Instead, I found a bit of a mixed bag: we made quite a bit of progress in handling lead pollution and still managed to fall short.
