Wasn't in the brain, but in the brain-butt interlink system. Ask me about my poop tunnel theory of homeostasis.https://t.co/daxEladuBd
I need to write this up.https://t.co/btWYvUlhPU
What if Freud's focus on butts was a statistically significant observation, but he modeled it wrong due to bias?https://t.co/9nTfyfOLlU
When I saw her for the first time. I breathed in deeply, and my OCD went away. It was bliss.https://t.co/qLzhWTb3W6
DYK: OCD and OCPD are different conditions? I'm sorry to be "Anal" about that but I like to slip Freudians in.https://t.co/KHiTMhwf1q

I fight with my vagus nerve on a weekly basis. My poop tunnels are grumpy.https://t.co/2ENxuouOkh
Grumble grumble, they go. Oh no! Somatic consciousness.https://t.co/MqELOEuRF4
I can't find any mention of the vagus nerve in any of slatestarcodex's stuff. But he's got a piece on Bayes https://t.co/0u3pElN8xI
What does bayes have to do with anything? Well it's how the poop tunnels in your gut figure out how to do fooding.https://t.co/i1VzERbHln
I can't find how many Mechanoreceptors or Meissner's corpuscles are in lining of the gut or on anus/pelvic floor. :(https://t.co/Pd4wDpX2MJ
I did find yet another $150 book to add to my wishlist.https://t.co/6GH0IEBYQq https://t.co/oKdDT9FYyG
7 hours later, a friend I reached out to on facebook replied with "Mammalian dive reflex". I <3 my network.https://t.co/lue08BSp7x https://t.co/zDMVGJAueb
Huh, the vagal nerve seems intrinsically tied to digestion.https://t.co/hKNmKrrUq3https://t.co/GIqJaCaot4
Are there vertebrates (having a neural crest + bones in vertebra) that also don't have a central brain?https://t.co/kpZqoXN4WG
So, I was joking to my girlfriend about having an electric buttplug to monitor vagus nerve activity and stimulate...https://t.co/pqrfBfTE6A https://t.co/Hdjp8qAOx9
Oh wow. @buttplugio is making a open-source butt-plug platform? https://t.co/QNrOsOlDyC
Looks like they're manifesting the Kiiroo API without the 3rd party snooping?That's cool!https://t.co/PHYiv2vpoyhttps://t.co/raCng09FVq
There was a DEFCON talk on hacking sex toys.It's basically medical device security; a pretty interesting topic:https://t.co/SVWnkLmTTm
Your fancy sex toy is probably sending home telemetry data and being sold to advertising markets. 🤔https://t.co/TCayMymioc
Serotonin poop cycles as behavior regulation?https://t.co/ter1M5Tt0m
Serotonin poop cycles as feeding regulation?https://t.co/jwMMPpMxEH

Wonder weirdly, not too much, mostly dog butts.https://t.co/2ENxuouOkh
There is now an FDA approved way to stop seizures using Vagal Nerve Stimulation + Surgery.https://t.co/v3ZiZ6vrQy(h/t @RosalindPicard)
I'd bet money that you don't need to go the surgery route if you're of the adventurous type.https://t.co/WKIzfAMgxt
Don't take it from me. A rectal stimulation can cure hiccups.https://t.co/wDQ0kMhKQg https://t.co/XwRFNwCWdx
All of my jokes are just ways of playing with the truth.https://t.co/pexTMki9Yo
Why? because in dogs it would induce a mechanical way of ridding of a lodged bone. In humans?: a lodged pit or seed.https://t.co/ACYDzEJVfM
You know what also is related to seizures? Setotonin. link here: mucus would be less invasive dislodging blockage.https://t.co/ovYFDCw0Gl
Also, Diarrhea would help. https://t.co/k7hHgoz9uR

Huh, This mentions H Pylori and suggests the vagus nerve is associated with nocturnal acid secretion.https://t.co/ta07WrkTfo https://t.co/67bh0ttUKS
And apparently SSRIs / SNRIs can make you piss yourself (it's rare, maybe genetic?), called "Nocturnal enuresis"https://t.co/hVAlx2XkCzmany such caseshttps://t.co/IxQEkRb8f1
What if Kellogg had fucked up models of sexuality (like most people in the 1900s), but was actually onto something? Why was he electrocuting people via their bladder?https://t.co/PpV3A0cnnl https://t.co/Sxt9HBxrlt
I mean... Its not like there's any reason why electricity in the bladder would do anything useful. Right?RIGHT?Oh hmm...It might indirectly stimulate the vagal nervehttps://t.co/59j1BBfNbr and maybe help people poop by affecting serotonin? https://t.co/uKFZSY4E1y
P.s. Kellogg's lecture manual is apparently available for free. It's fun to go back and look at what he was seeing thru his perverse lens and try to match it up with modern models of biology.https://t.co/HGl96WTqrT
Cereal is a sugary breakfast soup popularized in part by a guy who thought it would help prevent wicked masturbation. Tho, he appeared quite observant and talked about squatting / imbalances due to constipation. Probably wouldn't put sugar on his flakes.https://t.co/3c5ESNg63u https://t.co/7BkSMFNFtU
The worlds of the past is a lot easier to understand if you can frame the way that their attention was focused and the kinds of social situations they faced. Once you realize Kellogg was a product of his situation, his bias are a lot easier to see thru.
Ever hear the neat story of how the notion of "animal spirits" was transformed thru a series of insights into the discovery that nerves conduct electricity? Being interestingly wrong can still useful. https://t.co/Y8IQPZxpan
