I just learned that the whole looking thru a telescope in reverse to make the pain diminish might not always work the same way, apparently some people have the opposite sense.https://t.co/oKDvwep9g0I wonder if it correlates. Going to have to dig in tomorrow.
Found weirdness around Body Dysmorphic Disorder (Why is kleptomania a comorbid?) and a similar issue known as Psychosomatic or Psychogenic itch. It might be operating on similar pathways as pain & perception/attention/body sense. And could tie into sensory processing disorder.
Hey, future me reading this. TRPV1 and CB1https://t.co/vJODm6OvNU
Scratch that itch, it's ok. But maybe eat some serotonin precursors too.https://t.co/MRoYaBF8Ed
What does serotonin have to do with oxytocin being created in the part of the brain that mediates social processing?https://t.co/RjuRGHLMrT
Is this real? Could L reuteri's impact on the creating of oxytocin in the brain be boosting my sensitivity to placebo? How do it... placebo control for a placebo enhancer?https://t.co/CZ96WpEiaR
I wanna attach a activity+motion sensor on my dogs paws to see if they scratch more around people.I hear cats meow more around people. Is it oxytocin?What about goats? Does @GoatsThatStare know if they get itchy more around other friendly goats?https://t.co/PiHiL55ELt
@GoatsThatStare All this talk about itchyness is making think I ought to figure out what histamines are and why niacin flush reaction was originally assumed to be a histamine thing (but ended up not).https://t.co/ILcgLerLNJ
Remember when we thought that oxytocin played a role in autism, but found out that taking it directly did nothing... but then it turned out that L. Reuteri was helping to trigger the brain's production of it via action on the vagal nerve... via serotonin pathways?How to GABA?
