Do you ever wonder if Pavlov's theories, aka classical conditioning were wrong about how it worked, and then go on to question the entire field of learning theory perhaps derived from plausibly false insights?Sneeze pup, sneeze.https://t.co/eTt9AGlYNU

If our gut's Circadian Rhythm responds to food schedules, how would one measure if it is actually cue'ing off sensory experience is much the same way as how bees integrate sensory experience to figure out when to hibernate?https://t.co/YhZYkrRX6e

I also find all sorts of stuff on how having a big (IRL) social network means less stress and depression. But what if we've got that wrong - its that people who have high brain plasticity can reduce their negative think easier while also supporting more social parts of the brain?

Stuffs going to get real weird when we start getting microbial and dietary impacts involved in stress and sleep research.Despite 23andMe & genetic chronotype research, we're not even close to mapping the impacts of immune system on sleep.

In other news. I am building out an environmental sensor to particulate matter.There's some weird things in cognition studies that seem to be centered on particulate matter. Would be funny if all my research into TRP => endocannabinoids end up relevant.https://t.co/DSsTTEDFHO

If particulate matter (pollution) affects cognition via TRPV1 => Anandamide along similar pathways to why exercise (triggering anadamide) seems to improve thinking; then this weird association with 'noise' from traffic might actually be about smog?https://t.co/Zi78Ko6STz

I tried a cayenne tincture on my new friend's recommendation during one of my meltdowns and it gave me the ability to speak back! All my muscles relaxed, and while I was still in a hyper vigilant state, I wasn't trapped in my own head and my narrowing of vision reversed. Crying.

What's fascinating about this TRPV1 => Anandamide angle is that it suggest sensitive individuals (poor diet, genetic disposition for TRP associated nerve growth), and those subject to the highest concentrations of particulate matter would experience the IQ changing effects.
