The #K-operator, altering the connectome, and thus modeling several #neurological #disorders, starts to sparkle scientific debate! I am grateful to the authors of this #commentary for appreciating my and our #research and for suggesting how to strengthen it, transforming K from a #theoretical object to a valid #clinical tool.

Children born to mothers infected with covid-19 during pregnancy faced a higher risk of #Autism along with other #neurological differences such as delays in speech and motor development, according to a study published Thursday.

The study’s authors emphasized that, as an observational study, the findings do not prove that covid-19 causes the conditions diagnosed in children, but rather signal an association between maternal infection and these outcomes.

The analysis of more than 18,100 births in Massachusetts, published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, is among the largest studies to date examining children born to women who contracted the virus starting in the early months of the pandemic through some of 2021, before vaccines were widely available.

The study’s authors emphasized that, as an observational study, the findings do not prove that covid-19 causes the conditions diagnosed in children, but rather signal an association between maternal infection and these outcomes. And the risk of such a diagnosis, even while elevated for women, remains extremely low, said Andrea G. Edlow, a physician scientist at Mass General Hospital and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School.

“It’s not that every pregnant woman with covid-19 in pregnancy needs to think that her child is going to have autism,” Edlow, a co-author, said. “Overall, the absolute risk is not extremely high.”

Public health experts say the findings underscore the importance of covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy, noting that protecting expectant mothers helps safeguard both their health and that of their babies. The results come at a time when coronavirus vaccination rates have declined.

The research builds on a growing body of work about the impact of viral infection during pregnancy and fetal health. There’s strong evidence that some viruses such as rubella, varicella-zoster and Zika may directly cause fetal injury. In 2015 and 2016, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency when the Zika virus was spreading in Latin America and was linked to hundreds of births of children with microcephaly, a condition characterized by an abnormally small head and underdeveloped brain.

Scientists believe it is rare for respiratory viruses such as flu and SARS-CoV-2, which causes covid-19, to cross the placental barrier and that the impact on the fetus may be because of a mother’s immune response. One possible culprit may be inflammation, which results in the release of signaling molecules that may influence how neurons — the working unit of the nervous system — in the brain grow, connect and migrate.

Flu and covid-19 have been linked to obstetric complications such as preterm birth but the evidence regarding longer-term impacts on children’s neurodevelopment has been more mixed — with some studies showing small increases in diagnoses and others showing no effect.

Edlow explained that “if the fetus’s immune system gets really revved up, that could have downstream consequences, not just for the developing brain, but also for the metabolic system, the liver, the pancreas, the heart, the adipose tissue.”

Trump’s long history of being obsessed with #eugenics, & of #ableist statements, set the tone for a press conference that rejected the idea of autistic self-advocacy: Throughout the conference, #Trump, #RFKJr, & their allies framed #autism as something to eliminate—an “epidemic,” disturbing, & “hard to watch”—rather than what scientists agree it is: a spectrum of #neurological differences with a wide range of symptoms.

Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3. ...

“The ME/CFS association near CA10 colocalises with a known association to multisite chronic pain. We found no evidence that the eight ME/CFS genetic signals share common causal genetic variants with depression or anxiety. Our findings suggest that both immunological and neurological processes are involved in the genetic risk of ME/CFS.”

Whose Cognitive Decline Is It? by Mary Trump

#Trump has always been easily swayed by whomever or whatever is in front of him

Lately his decline has become even more obvious. whether its due to some kind of #neurological condition or worsening of his long #undiagnosed, #untreated #psychiatric #disorders or both

Sometimes it isn’t clear if he’s oriented to space, time & people. It's particularly evidenced during recent press conferences, interviews.

#Measles #outbreaks spark #concern over rare 'horrific' #neurological {SSPM: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis} disorder https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/measles-complications-1.7508645?cmp=rss

As measles outbreaks in Canada grow and spread between provinces, pediatricians are again recommending vaccinations while also bracing for serious complications, including a rare, long-term neurological disorder that can emerge six to 10 years after an initial measles infection.

I often deal with imposter syndrome in my academic work. Not least as my progressive neurological illness affects me more and more. But going into the weekend feeling confident about things I'm working on. And excited for the next stages. A very encouraging state of affairs considering everything! #academia #ChronicIllness #neurological #progression #imposterSyndrome

🏋️ How your body adapts to Weightlifting 🏋️

Understanding adaptations in weightlifting is important because it helps you train smarter, stay motivated, and avoid injury.

Strength 🆚 Size Training

Strength training typically uses low reps (1–5) with heavy weight and longer rest periods.

Hypertrophy training favors moderate reps (6–12) with moderate to heavy weight and shorter rest.

#ElonMusk, the world's richest person, who oversees #Neuralink & spent >$250M to help elect #Trump, has been leading the effort to cut govt workers w/ #DOGE. Thousands have been cut.

The #FDA firings last week included about 20 people in its office of #neurological & #physical #MedicalDevices several of whom worked on Neuralink…. It is not known if all of the fired workers reviewing Neuralink have received the return offer.
