oooof! Now, is this very biological imbalance the real source of this autism? Could be only the result of a real underlaying set of causes.
Now, how do we increase the neurons and synapses at those places? Intense, and maybe painful, mental training with brain imagery to check the right spots are being trained?
- BazookaMusic 4y ago"A protein called FMRP that is absent in the brains of people with FXS modulates the activity of a type of potassium channel in the brain. According to the research group's work, it is the absence of this protein that alters the way sensory inputs are combined, causing them to be underrepresented by the signals coming out of the cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain." Maybe adjusting the production of the protein they identified would be a reasonable thing to study before resorting to Clockwork Orange therapy.
- sylware 4y agoWow, the first part of the article does not mention the missing protein, and the "5 seconds" headline does not mention it neither. Then I though it was _only_ about this imbalance. Partial and fast reading, bad. And I am the first one to bash short term-ists in a hurry.
- pitched 4y agoIf the neurons that are weak are the ones for processing external signals and having them override internal signals is the goal, maybe it’s as simple as a cold shower every day.
