Watching this video where david bowie predicted the rise of the internet as a collaboration between fans and artists.I just realized he has Anisocoria similar to zefrankhttps://t.co/e3nfo17i25
Interestingly, so did Vincent Van Gogh?https://t.co/3KV071g140and he might have been sick with too much foxglove (for seizures)?https://t.co/QnOg5KCUkc

"The patients also tended to have more anisocoria than healthy controls, but no clear-cut pattern existed as to pupil dysfunction."https://t.co/kETE09GHK7
I bet some people develop acute transient aniscoria when they drink.https://t.co/GTP3Ed66Ng
"Anisocoria associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.""Drug-induced anisocoria in two detainees" (LSD, alcohol)HAHAhttps://t.co/fz9rmHsUdn
Ok ok, so... theoretically certain high CBD strains of Cannabis can trigger aniscoria then?https://t.co/E86wL5pSiB
"He says they already have unpublished data demonstrating that the same "battery of eye movement tests and clever statistics" can distinguish between conditions such as bipolar disorder and major depression" [2012]https://t.co/Geq9fsSZXj https://t.co/zWa46rXSQY
Shit is going to get real crazy (pun not intented) when eye tracking + VR is implemented to the point where it can measure how your attention systems work.https://t.co/dwdHLaTZN8
Eyes are neat. I just used my blindspot to 'decapitate' the house's dog.https://t.co/shhwcdJX3o
Starry eyed surprise.https://t.co/xJ6XHQpLbOhttps://t.co/tA5gMuYaZ7
When they say "the eyes are the window to the soul" they mean "you can notice how perturbations in someone's gut bacteria manifest in motor control issues related to eye movement and we are wired to sense oddities (like eye shape/movement patterns) at a visceral emotional level"

"A research team has linked how our eyes actually see the world to neurons in the prefrontal cortex of the brain." [2014]https://t.co/LmQDxliO83
"The main finding of the present study is that D4 receptors were identified in postmortem human prefrontal cortex using direct binding techniques. [...] Further studies are necessary in order to draw a comprehensive map"https://t.co/mzsDSA5Spo
if D4 plays a role in vision by way of the PFC, could that be why I experience visual hallucinations more often when drunk/caffinated/tired? I wonder what taking loxapine would do to me. https://t.co/ZMWvvv1JROhttps://t.co/EvN6Mqfhtc
Struggling to see difference between "schizophrenia with preserved insight" and "someone with executive function issues, depression, and synesthesia."https://t.co/gpAKgzMijj
"Our results show that schizophrenia with preserved insight is associated with greater perfusion of the precuneus, a brain area known to be involved in self-consciousness, suggesting a compensatory mechanism of fronto-temporal impairment."https://t.co/nMbT7eF7Nu
Another article on "Substance Misuse" links LSD to aniscoria AND synethesia.https://t.co/UTI3Y1gtrQ https://t.co/47b7kdIVy7
Expanding on this further. What even is autism for that matter?https://t.co/dbJXSZ9wT9
"Synaesthetes appear to occupy a specific cognitive niche of having autistic-like traits linked to enhanced perception and attention. [...] they may carry the cost of increased vulnerability to clinical levels of autism"https://t.co/lEMEi1TQzT https://t.co/5Y5ausjEqV
I wonder how many people take a drug or experience gut problems (by proxy, reduction in serotonin/dopamine signaling) related to stress, and then have nervous breakdowns - trip a bit, act psychotic, and then are forced to see a psychiatrist.https://t.co/CPNqXQFBjN
Why does walking improve executive function in ADHD? I know it's a thing, but I forgot what exactly seemed to be the cause.https://t.co/CpSUYIVzGY
@RichardDawkins Worth watching this hour long documentary exploring this idea in the context of human bipedalism. It turns out it may be culturally and memetically driven. There are people with Cerebellar Ataxia or even entirely missing it who can still walk.https://t.co/UUEKTln3wK

Dots"Sporadic fatal insomnia (sFI) and fatal familial insomnia (FFI) are rare human prion diseases.[…]In June 2006, she demonstrated anisocoria and bizarre behavior, including talking incoherently to herself, and she was then referred to psychiatry."https://t.co/qtg3DJi5EA
"Despite the fact that these reflections comprised only 0.5% of the initial image size, you can quite clearly make out what is reflected in the eye. The experiments that were performed also showed that the bystanders were not only visible but identifiable"https://t.co/6ZnWgMXECL
