Though if I understood this thread's study correctly, male mice with two X chromosomes (which presumably don't have ovaries) still had the post-acute changes in behavior (figure 7N posted by jnmaciuch above). Edit: So maybe it's presence of any gonads at all, and testes in males can also...

I would think upregulating receptors related to learning would happen in specific locations in the brain relevant to learning, but figure 2B seems to show that AMPAR density was increased pretty much everywhere in this study. Would be good to know in what regions learning increases AMPAR...

I may be wrong about the motivation for IOM being specifically clinical use and CCC being research use, that's just what I recall people saying. But it does look like the IOM criteria is what the CDC in the US recommends for diagnosis. There's also the even newer NICE criteria, which as far as...

The newer IOM criteria, that I gather is supposed to be more appropriate for clinical diagnosis, and less related to ensuring homogenous research groups, doesn't say there are any excluding diagnoses, as far as I'm aware. Just a collection of symptoms - if you have them, you have ME/CFS.

What do you mean by "facilitation"? I was wondering about what prevents allowing unlimited viewers to watch (if the video streaming license allows) but not interact at all, and can't think of how that would make things harder. I suppose maybe they want to allow some questions from online...

I think it'd be helpful to the author and others to say why it's wrong, or at least to link to a correct definition.
