Teaching Intro to Neurosci, I’m disappointed in how the textbook handles Mental Illness.

In short, it does a disservice to behavioral interventions.

And it holds up the idea of a gene>mouse model>a drug as the path forward (which has never happened in that simple way and never will).

It lacks nuance and humility on this topic. Does any textbook/chapter do this better?

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.
