First sentence: "The reason your three-pound brain doesn’t feel heavy is because it floats in a reservoir of cerebrospinal fluid". I'm already feeling a little angry!

- throwawayoaky 4y agocalm down guys the holidays have been rough but let's keep bringing the big boy energy. Here's a pull quote for you > “..from the degenerating brain’s microglia cells to enter the brain. It could be the degenerating brain activates these cells and causes them to clone themselves and flow to the brain,” Gate said. “They do not belong there, and we are trying to understand whether they contribute to damage in the brain.” Interesting result right? Sounds like a definite maybe. Seems like correlation vs causation is really hard with brain degeneration. Sure would be nice to have a grand theory but maybe the theory is death by a thousand cuts. call it the i-dont-even-know-how-many-billion dollar question
