Was talking memory with a friend recently and mentioned SDAM, Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory, that they had never heard of. Another poll friends.

With age, almost all humans deal with decline in memory and other #brain functions. But the minds of some people in their 80s and beyond function as though they were decades younger. Scientists have been studying these superagers for 25 years, testing their memory skills and autopsying their brains when they die. Two things stand out: Not all superagers do all the healthy things you might expect, but nearly all of them are highly social. medium.com/wise-well/secrets-o #neuroscience #science

Researchers led by Bruce A. Yankner, prof of genetics, neurology at Harvard Medical School reported that they were able to reverse #Alzheimer’s in mice, restore #brain function w small amounts of compound #lithium enough to mimic metal’s natural level in the brain. “The obvious impact is that because lithium orotate is dirt cheap, hopefully we will get rigorous, randomized trials testing this very, very quickly”...msn.com/en-us/science/biochemi #healthcare #medicine #research

#Alzheimer's Might Not Actually Be a #Brain #Disease, Says Expert
Based on our past 30 years of research, we no longer think of Alzheimer's as primarily a disease of the brain. Rather, we believe that Alzheimer's is principally a disorder of the #immunesystem within the brain.
The immune system, found in every organ in the body, is a collection of cells and molecules that work in harmony to help repair injuries and protect from foreign invaders.

🤯 Interpretable EEG-to-Image Generation with Semantic Prompts

arxiv.org/abs/2507.07157

arXiv logo
arXiv.orgInterpretable EEG-to-Image Generation with Semantic PromptsDecoding visual experience from brain signals offers exciting possibilities for neuroscience and interpretable AI. While EEG is accessible and temporally precise, its limitations in spatial detail hinder image reconstruction. Our model bypasses direct EEG-to-image generation by aligning EEG signals with multilevel semantic captions -- ranging from object-level to abstract themes -- generated by a large language model. A transformer-based EEG encoder maps brain activity to these captions through contrastive learning. During inference, caption embeddings retrieved via projection heads condition a pretrained latent diffusion model for image generation. This text-mediated framework yields state-of-the-art visual decoding on the EEGCVPR dataset, with interpretable alignment to known neurocognitive pathways. Dominant EEG-caption associations reflected the importance of different semantic levels extracted from perceived images. Saliency maps and t-SNE projections reveal semantic topography across the scalp. Our model demonstrates how structured semantic mediation enables cognitively aligned visual decoding from EEG.

Living with ADHD: Bet­ween Ste­reo­ty­pes and Neu­ro­bio­lo­gi­cal Reality

Over the past months, I’ve been sha­ring obser­va­tions about ADHD in the fedi­ver­se. Raw, unfil­te­red posts about the dai­ly rea­li­ty of living with this neu­ro­lo­gi­cal con­di­ti­on. The­se posts have reso­na­ted with many peo­p­le, but they’­ve also prompt­ed requests for sources, ela­bo­ra­ti­on, and deeper ana­ly­sis of the phe­no­me­na I’ve described.

This post is a respon­se to tho­se requests by groun­ding my lived expe­ri­en­ces in cur­rent neu­ro­bio­lo­gi­cal rese­arch. When I wri­te about exter­nal moti­va­ti­on depen­den­cy, shame spi­rals, or hyper­fo­cus dys­func­tion, I’m not just ven­ting, I’m docu­men­ting sys­te­ma­tic pat­terns that sci­ence alre­a­dy unders­tood or is begin­ning to under­stand. When I pro­vo­ca­tively cla­im „the H in ADHD stands for who­re,“ I’m poin­ting toward rese­arch con­nec­tions that ADHD dis­cour­se rare­ly acknowledges.

The posts I’ll quo­te throug­hout this pie­ce are­n’t aca­de­mic abs­trac­tions — they’­re field notes from my neu­ro­di­ver­gent exis­tence. But they’­re also ent­ry points into under­stan­ding how indi­vi­du­al strug­gles reflect broa­der sys­te­mic fail­ures to accom­mo­da­te neu­ro­lo­gi­cal dif­fe­rence. What fol­lows is an attempt to bridge the gap bet­ween lived expe­ri­ence and sci­en­ti­fic evi­dence, bet­ween per­so­nal obser­va­ti­on and struc­tu­ral analysis.
