I'm Post Rat. In fact I'm into squirrels now. I figured out how to make them (and chipmunks) not afraid of me."One study used these scent markings to help overcome neophobia with lures by mixing grease, dust, hair and scent marks within urinary pillars."https://t.co/xzeIEgS2yJ https://t.co/GHoX8rSYYm
I think a lot about rodent pee and it's impact on postrat-esque fear behavior.https://t.co/yk266EeLuw
I am not trying to make a cat lay down with a rodent, I don't know what you're talking about.https://t.co/DDqHplPB1t
What happens if you give a rat some cat microbes and vice versa. Do they shift their pheromones' to the point where they think they are brothers?https://t.co/j7Ef3OWWK8
Wait till you find out that lobsters and ants are the same lineage and I've figured out how to manipulate their production of hydrocarbons and shift the way they form hierarchies.https://t.co/sphPcVZYiX
I have been told that lobsters pee from their face. I have not been able to confirm this via YouTube videos.https://t.co/Wrw1wRQY6F
*holds up gerbil with modified gut bacteria that mpacts serotonin and androgen production under stress*Is this your hierarchal model of social dominance?https://t.co/FaPYVuoGP8
I shall be come the king of order rodentia.https://t.co/kUFoWtnNq7
The term "to cow someone" is literally about controlling them via fear. I do not use this terminology by mistake.A lot of old tweed materials smelled of pee when wet b/c use of ammonia as a fabric manipulation aid before invention of air conditioning.https://t.co/7yVjkIzluN
Magic tricks are what happens when you figure stuff out and pretend you are a Magi.https://t.co/HTLSNuCP5D
I am really good at thinking like a mouse, because a mouse is just a funny looking rat, and rats are basically mammalian ants.No one looks for urine marking behavior it seems. We have a collective gell-mann amnesia around the impact of scent on behavior.https://t.co/5U9p5ktPtM

oh. Oooooh. Was that "maternal impression" theory the inspiration for some of the most f*cked southpark episodes? https://t.co/qC4wwKAYzH
This is quite a rabbit hole indeed."This book laid out the theory of “maternal impression,” the idea that a mother’s thoughts, obsessions, and fancies could imprint themselves on the form of the unborn child."https://t.co/0lAYs20oks
It looks like Ian Stevenson has been writing about it for a while. I found a review paper from 1992 that is trying to claim this is paranormal activity.https://t.co/iCTMpk0HQW
And they have a follow up from 2017 published in a book on parapsychology https://t.co/3N9GyOdkGR
This belief is a Stirnerian spook. "I argue that maternal impressions worked to maintain anxiety for women, and particular white women, to ensure they felt responsible if anything was “wrong” with their child." https://t.co/H3inQV2we1
Could, in rare cases, the mental imagery and beliefs of the mother impact the body plan expression of her child? Or for that matter, could an old injury from the father cause the sperm to communicate some kind of birth defect due to impaired wound healing?
"It seemed that sperm at different points along the reproductive tract had the same genetics, but not the same epigenetics. Was this difference big enough to matter?" https://t.co/dDgTNKMR3J
That doesn't explain every case presented here https://t.co/YQD11vy0ddBut it is a neat idea and at could explains at least one of the ones cited in that 1992 review. https://t.co/cOQ1QE45hA
of course the obvious explanation is that these birth marks are falling for a Confirmation Bias, and the author is trying to find examples of paranormal activity and ignores all the birth defects unreported, or finding just-so explanations.
Grant the Premise, y'know? Might find things others have overlooked in their desire to not know the truth. And the truth is out there ;) https://t.co/dITSumvyk7
Oh yeah. It's those Cyborg Frogs. I have the documents! https://t.co/bqafsrgd16
Lots of people keep sharing articles about those xenobots with me.Not many people realize that this stuff has been on my radar for a while.In other news. UVM's evolutionary robotics lab is really fun if you are interested in literal artificial life. https://t.co/Bs3GUtR7zv
What do you mean embodied memory?https://t.co/V2quQDkhfT
Don't mind me, just exploring how a massive injury and mental stress might impact sperm and effect the "The electrical blueprints that orchestrate life"https://t.co/0LQjuLftx6
Surely you don't mean that a father's sperm might have some imprint of cellular memory in it somehow?"Cell Intelligence in Physiological and Morphological Spaces" https://t.co/5UzeNngx2G
I mean, of course I know about how to act on the body to interact with regeneration primitives. it's not like all my scars have gone away and I'm trying to figure out how regenerate ovaries or anything...https://t.co/ocBy7nOlb9
Could an extreme injury or stressful event cause "cellular memory" to not be erased during Spermatogenesis/oogenesis, (or preserved via RNA) and instead passed on to the child?https://t.co/X8yTLFeUpd https://t.co/ipz1gB71Uc
Oh neat, some scientist found out that there are nuggets of epigenetic inheritance passed on via a RNA based mechanism (in worms).https://t.co/Qx6BDrgGRC
So, we found a kind of biological engram in C. Elegans? LOLhttps://t.co/mRwUwjP4oihttps://t.co/Y7La4TZNTZ

"Although positional memory is well documented at a phenomenological level, the underlying cellular and molecular bases are just beginning to be decoded." https://t.co/VVmoeGe5l9Salamander? Adult Axolotl.https://t.co/t5Fz1szCkL
@balajis @The_Lagrangian @almostlikethat **"Although the activity of the immune system in the aging axolotl has not been studied"**Do you ever find yourself knowing a significant amount of information in the exact space where an animal model of aging and limb regeneration end up having a lack?https://t.co/1z0gf4PJEu
How strange. Epigenetic shifts due to diet?> "He stated that their deterioration included "germ plasm injury" causing them to pass acquired anatomical defects to their offspring.[4] However, the idea of acquired characteristics has been discredited.[5]"
Do you ever wonder if we (humans) can change our inheritance patterns?No one talks about how vaginal crypts could potentially storing and preserving semen, or how there is no reason why we can't pause gestation like deer.https://t.co/Ssrp6LuN7Ohttps://t.co/cnAeU1L4Si https://t.co/bn58Khnxrm
How could a gene mutation lead to multiple generations of maned lionesses despite the gene itself not being inherited? Because it tweaks immune system regulating chemicals tied to cholesterol (estrogen/testosterone) via gut bacteria related epigenetics.https://t.co/SGIRMUvFXc
Throw in weird phenomena around male mitochondrial DNA sometimes being inherited and shit gets weird. You can spot the assumption that it is entirely matrilineal in lion research.https://t.co/D99GUfTSO4
Muh lions. Can't find what you don't look for. You don't look for it if you assume it is impossible.https://t.co/BdQq9C10hJhttps://t.co/eeg7C0hxL7 https://t.co/iNVl3mWLe3
"While the males live for only a few hours after their mating flight, the queen will store their sperm and can use it over the course of the next decade to produce new offspring."https://t.co/9GeHuaRWC7https://t.co/Fa47DEwrWN
What conditions makes this happen?"The capacity for sperm storage within the female reproductive tract occurs widely across all groups of vertebrate species and is exceptionally well developed in some reptiles" https://t.co/FH2WaQdbGg
If maned lionesses are a colony level emergent response to resource scarcity as a way to protect a pride from roving bands of weak males, does that mean its something tied to metabolic health vis-a-vis gut metabolites impacting gene expression?
"Although scientists have known since the 1850s that some animals have this ability, it is only now becoming clear how it could teach us valuable lessons about human pregnancy, stem cells, and cancer." [OCT 2019]https://t.co/nLezm7yo4uhttps://t.co/S0weUseo99
What happens to insects during famine and metabolic drought? Their gut bacteria start dumping serotonin in and their body plan changes.https://t.co/h1qalf98R5

"Moreover, they raise the possibility that mothers can confer immune protection to their offspring even to pathogens that they haven't themselves encountered in the past." https://t.co/GSyxxOmrII
"Studies have even found that though your mother gave you many microbes during birth and through breastfeeding, most children have gut microbiomes just as similar to their father's as their mother's."https://t.co/cTx0uIL6J9
"Some research on mice has shown that after several generations of passing on fewer good microbes, the losses are compounded, which may affect health."https://t.co/4bR8cq01SB
"All three studies, which haven’t yet been published in peer-reviewed journals, point to a possible role that a buildup of “bad” bacteria in the gut could play in cognitive health." [JUL 19 2023]https://t.co/z6zyGjWOFi
Every article out there seems to cite how sperm can live up to 5 days in the vaginal tract. But here's a paper from 1972 talking about 9-12 days and associating it with estrus cycle, even surviving menstruation. https://t.co/22WXkD284M
This 1997 article seems to be the source of the 5 days citation for sperm viability. Motherfucks never wonder if these mathematical models might be wrong, or biased toward some assumptions that may not hold true for everyone?https://t.co/Bz7R6eDnhY https://t.co/9zVLXCaLuW
Did you know Myo-inositol & n-acetylaspartate is related to gut-brain axis?"The genera Bacteroides and Clostridium predicted higher concentrations of a brain chemical called myo-inositol, while Butyricimonas predicted one called n-acetylaspartate (NAA)."https://t.co/OowN3MuWs2
"treating fertile women with myo-inositol (MI) vaginal suppositories ameliorated their partners' sperm motility and also positively affected their conceiving capacity, without changes in cervical mucus structural and biochemical characteristics."https://t.co/qiL3U7kD3J
"There were significant relationships between vitamin B6 and N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline, and creatine, as well as between vitamin B12 and creatine (ps < 0.05), whereas NAA in the PCC increased, albeit not significantly (p > 0.05)." https://t.co/zudGoEHhPC
A Atxn2 gene knock-out mouse shows that impairments in N-acetylaspartate relate to it's mechanism of action. https://t.co/IrNiziRVz1

That related Nat8l gene leads to poor neurogenesis and death when the mouse infant has no fat in its diet, but fixed via N-acetylaspartate supplementation https://t.co/yKQXP06DhY
Do you ever wonder if cortisol production via metabolite dysfunction from impaired gut bacteria are what cause PCOS to have high rates of infertility, miscarriage, and cause a risk of autism?https://t.co/H9zRZisJKi https://t.co/3xlEeN9NqL
Did you know Myo-inositol & n-acetylaspartate is related to gut-brain axis?"The genera Bacteroides and Clostridium predicted higher concentrations of a brain chemical called myo-inositol, while Butyricimonas predicted one called n-acetylaspartate (NAA)."https://t.co/OowN3MuWs2
And by extension, speculate that dietary factors may play a role in sperm health and function, thus leading to higher rates of fertility among healthy women? Then go on to cure PCOS in your GF?https://t.co/6mB4m5OIyb
@GoodTexture @BioavailableNd The trick to figurin this out is that there are populations of people who all have PCOS genetics but don't suffer from PCOS related infertiltiy or menstral cycle problems. They all eat a heathy diet full of fresh food (low preservatives) and organ meats as well as fermented food.

"Dausmann thinks the primates essentially return to a reptilian form of temperature regulation, relinquishing control of their body's thermostat to the environment and sparing themselves the energetic cost of waking up periodically during hibernation." https://t.co/C4He5xX8IR
"During this time, the animal's metabolic activity decreases to about 2 percent of what it would be if it were active, and its body temperature drops to match the ambient temperature, which can drop to as low as 41 degrees Fahrenheit" https://t.co/A0bIMjvdmk
