What the fuck.What are the chances that the kind of sounds I'm extremely bothered by during meltdown states are also the same frequency spectrum of a female mosquitoes wing beats?https://t.co/iQCTqYdmz4That sound makes me want to leave. Instant panic. Heh,
How do I found out what the frequency domain of skrillex songs are?https://t.co/s5glky3ykxAnd also, how can I measure hair standing on end? https://t.co/MAkB17Z9bl

Whoa. Not only is there a connection between pelvic floor function and bladder control, the ties between dance and immune function seem to be strong enough that there is an M.S. Community around Belly dancing. Amazing. https://t.co/PrxrRLOFxQ

Someone commented on this thread, and I made a connection in my head. TRPV4 is involved in bladder related smooth muscle control?https://t.co/BrMAjh1VqW https://t.co/KGCmWAML8j
Was thinking about how the intestine has an oscillatory motion where the TRPV1 & TRPV4 controlled smooth muscles cross talk to create a feedback signal.But balloons in our body don't.https://t.co/YuBpJW9OE3

It turns out that "magic pixie dust regrew my finger" wasn't fake. They were purifying stem cells from muscle tissue in pig bladders, and a brother of the founder spoke of his success before they completed the whole medical trial, and the news hyped it.https://t.co/o4LDvsu6NZ
If blood vessels dilating from laughter triggers TRPM8 activity, which in turn modulates TRPV4's action on letting nutrients out of capillaries and in to the muscles.*stretches*https://t.co/oQIbVSfQTv https://t.co/HRn9NdudSB
TRPM8 isn't just cold. also Stretch."stretching in MCs activates TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, and TRPA1 channels, that it may be involved in synaptic transmission to sensory neurons, and that MCs could contribute to the mechanosensory transduction sequence"https://t.co/Uxjf4qUpgm

@Avantgardeish @nsreed I have a hunch that this is about brain blood flow and neuronal / blood vessel growth.There are some hypthesises about this in the literature, but I discover this on my own by exploring smooth blood vessel regulation as it relates to Raynaulds & Crohn's.https://t.co/iPqqbJbLkM

*nervous tic activate*https://t.co/q1khIaomMA
So... That study on people watching "kingpin!" is supposed to be about laughter's role in blood flow. And the entire movie is about using sexual attraction to distract bowlers a scam.Wat.https://t.co/49fRe9TFRM
I wonder what the incentive structure is that a doctor at a medical institution would try to launder research about sexual arousal by telling lies about laughter.https://t.co/wfXRVOxqVQ
I keep finding studies appearing to be research on something really important to me, and then when I dig in further its basically someone watching an old popular movie, then taking medical readings.I can't get no respect (for rational study design).https://t.co/hKAtU4v4h4

Found a good article exploring the nature of bed wetting. It traces some of the problematic parenting beliefs (myths) that prevail in the west.https://t.co/R06nzEMmfwhttps://t.co/QTCc7O73Y1 https://t.co/MD0BmFYk12
It is upsetting to think that that western pop psychology driving shame (and abuse) over children wetting the bed is downstream of Freud having nightmares about his mother, pissing himself, and framing it as him wanting to fuck her ("wish fulfillment").
I kinda suspect Freud's "Magical" Cocaine habit might have something to do with his obsessions with viewing enuresis as being sexual. But I only have hunches. https://t.co/BpDjDehUWB
Imagining Freud taking Cocaine all the time and developing weird problems like Priapism or Erectile Dysfunction... Then psychologizing it all under some half-baked theories about getting horny around his mum and not understanding urolagnia kinks.https://t.co/uip4dOYUJB
I wonder if Freud ever gave Cocaine to his pupper.Or if use of cocaine impaired sense of smell."I’ve overcome that addiction, but it has cost me my sense of smell. Why did this happen, and what can I do?"https://t.co/UznrtIz9SLhttps://t.co/Q4puMRqL9K
"Freud loved the way cocaine made him feel. [...] For one, it did make him feel better when he was sad.He also was amazed at how it made him talk about things endlessly that he thought were locked away in his brain."https://t.co/5OQVRmuRji
I am not trying to glorify drug use. I'm trying to say Freud's thinking is not a good model for understanding psychological disease. Just so we're clear. https://t.co/aLhTbvweqF
Its weird to me how loss of smell is associated with aging (and age related disease) and with cocaine use.And how often people mistake age related sniffles with cocaine use. Similar shame driven myth dynamics as we see with wetting the bed IMHO.https://t.co/UNotqQyVlr
*sniffs*"These results suggest that [Substance Use Disorder] itself, apart from the contribution of comorbid medical conditions, may have increased the risk for COVID-19 infection, even among the vaccinated population."https://t.co/hlmuPrTdNz https://t.co/i9Q4ssXkm4
Does Cocaine makes you constipated? Vasoconstriction aught to lead to direct gut motility problems and exhibit the issues we seen in Crohn's Disease / IBS-C.https://t.co/D6RrU6S5L6https://t.co/mVvIyclAtO https://t.co/lDkssYq3zN
There is a line of reasoning that you can sample a patient's feces and after a period of time slowly adapt your own experiences by affecting how the gut microbiota in your own gut ecosystem adapt. I speculated Freud's ideas of anxiety and constipation were intrinsically linked.
What if Freud was literally full of shit?> It was a destructive influence, yes, but an influence nonetheless; through cocaine, Freud really may have “achieved something beautiful.”https://t.co/uVLvJyYpRl https://t.co/WXjpaUQG0F

"For example, whenever we attribute motive to another person, and use words such as "constricted," "repressed" and perhaps even the more accurate "anal retentive" to describe another person, we "speak Freud." The extent to which [...] will surprise"https://t.co/Ztxx3NRmNG
"in the 1970s and the 1980s, it was advertised as the safe and elite and cool drug to do. [...] All you had to do was read the old stuff in the 1880s. But no, it became a very popular recreational drug to be sure, well into the 1930s."https://t.co/P8Nwpetyps
I wonder when meaningful use of using FMT to treat disease would have stopped. I know Freud played a role here ala https://t.co/K2vRJyVUs5 but presumably he had been influenced by earlier memes?

I wanna recreate all the learned helplessness experiments but sample gut metabolome and microbiome. The variation in the dogs was really high IIRC.
