The conflict has exposed the degree to which previously forbidden bigotries have penetrated the heart of the #Trump-era #Republican Party. It has also revealed a somewhat different, yet related pathology: the #BrainDeath of the #conservative movement.

Wann wird dieses widerliche Tiktok endlich verboten? Ich meine, unten stehende Auswirkungen sind ja noch harmlos. Aber auch hier zeigt sich, dass Tiktok offensichtlich zu schwersten Hirnschäden bei Kindern und Jugendlichen führt. fink.hamburg/2025/10/tiktok-tr

As of September 2025, approximately 170 million Americans spend, on average, one hour every day in an app that is designed to maximize psychological grip. While Congress fixates on TikTok’s data collection usages, what hasn’t received enough attention is how the platform has successfully industrialized human attention itself. Where earlier media relied on polished narratives (films with arcs, shows with seasons), TikTok turned culture into a never-ending feedback loop of impulse and machine learning. #SocialMedia #TikTok #psychology #BrainDeath

Abstract
Recent literature describes the controversy relating to brain death/death by neurological criteria (DNC), which some have referred to as“widely
accepted, but not universally supported.” This article provides an overview of differences in state laws relating to DNC and describes recent
proposals to reform the definition of brain death. In 2023, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) issued clinical guidelines stating that
clinicians may declare a patient DNC despite evidence of neuroendocrine function— a position that directly conflicts with state law
requirements for determining death. This article offers a critical analysis of AAN guidelines, an update on proposals to reform the Uniform
Determination of Death Act, and explains why policy discussions should include how DNC exams occur in practice. Research suggests there are
flaws with current clinical testing methods, which contributes to two separate problems: (1) false positives from insufficient testing, and
(2) inadvertent misdiagnosis from unintentional errors. Together, this has produced confusion and reduced public trust in the concept of brain
death. This article provides recommendations to clarify and retain the current legal s

Remember the movie Re-Animator? Well, it’s back 😳

Yale researchers restored circulation and cellular function in pig brains four hours postmortem using a perfusion system (BrainEx), preserving synaptic activity and gene expression. This work redefines the limits of ischemic damage and raises critical neuroethical concerns about the definition of brain death.
