I'm curious how we can have tens of thousands of people training for decades performing millions of neuro surgeries, not to mention however many autopsies and we didn't have a notion of this membrane or its function?
- atombender 4y agoIt's explained in the New Scientist article: > It is extremely thin, with a width of just a few cells or, in places, even one cell. The SLYM hadn’t been noticed before, partly because the membrane disintegrates when the brain is removed from the skull in post-mortems, says Maiken Nedergaard at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, who helped discover the structure. It is also too thin to be seen in living people via brain-scanning machines.
- tamaharbor 4y agoI wonder what details we are not noticing about climate change, EV use, renewable energy, etc?
- pleb_nz 4y agoIMO, there is likely much more that we don't know that what we do know.
- thefurdrake 4y agoWhy those things in particular?
- tamaharbor 4y agoThose are the things I believe we are rushing into without much of a plan. Inject sulfur into the atmosphere to cool down the earth? Mining all those heavy metals for EV batteries? And where is the electrical infrastructure for 100% EV and RE? (We can’t even keep the lights on when it is cold.). We should focus on adapting to climate change rather than trying to stop it. Attempting to stop it will be a losing cause. IMO, of course.
