Thanks, Alex. I am remembering an insult from childhood was “Thick head”! Then there was “Numb skull” and a few others. I laugh at myself and go...
Did you mean to write instead, “the left hemisphere equivalents are working” since they aren’t thickened?
Alex, what are your guesses about what this thickening means? To start with, does it necessarily mean that the nerve conduction is slowed down,...
Ron Davis’s leadership is so good, not only his skills at designing good tools and studies—I am very appreciative. He knows where he is going, the...
I have tried Bromocriptine, which slows the breakdown of dopamine, and also tried a stimulant, Methylphenidate at a low dose which doesn’t overtax...
I loved your description, @Arnie Pye ! Thank you so so much. It is a rare gift to have a glimpse into the actual experiences of those of us with...
I have no direct information about lactic acid in my brain, as @Valentijn relays, but wonder if certain physical sensations I have in my brain...
Seems to me that this particular research would be most revealing if it were done a couple of days after a big exercise challenge.
I succeeded in learning “pyruvate dehydrogenase” after that exciting study happened, but now I have to learn an even worse term “right anterior...
Yes—and this is where I think it is a slowed down brain that can’t make those connections at speed—from the normal speed of conversation to the...
Damage to the reticular activating system where dopamine largely comes from, I once read, may be the cause of a slow brain, “brain brownouts”,...
Brain rhythms convey a lot about what the cognitive and memory functions can even be. Beta is the high speed (not alpha as I’d expect). That is...
One idea I don’t find in this thread is about brain rhythms, speed and activity. Having a lot of EEG studies would help, and for those to be...
Talking in circles with generalizations, dodges, omissions and misdirections is what a lot of people who succeed politically are skilled at. His...
Oh, thank you! I had a small guess that might be it but since usually things on forums tend to be spelled out, I thought I must be missing...
Excuse me for being a dunce, but today is Jan 16, 2018 and I see no information about how to either access this interview today or later. What am...
I want to comment about Dr. Bell. His commitment to learning, understanding and helping those of us affected with ME has been outstanding in my...
It seems as though the smaller fiber nerves are being damaged. After the nonmyelinated small fibers, the next smallest fibers belong to the...
I have had a very difficult problem with OI for 8 years now. It involves a slow heart rate which does not try to compensate, as with POTS, for the...
Smoking--I expect it reduces oxygen to the brain through impairing blood vessels or? That may be its negative effect. But on the positive side,...
Separate names with a comma.
