When a long-term memory forms, some brain cells experience a rush of electrical activity so strong that it snaps their DNA. Then, an inflammatory response kicks in, repairing this damage and helping to cement the memory, a study in mice shows. The findings, published on 27 March in Nature, are "extremely exciting," says Li-Huei Tsai, a neurobiologist. They contribute to the picture that forming memories is a "risky business," she says. Normally, breaks in both strands of the double helix DNA molecule are associated with diseases including cancer. But in this case, the

>DNA damage-and-repair cycle offers one explanation for how memories might form and last.

It also suggests a tantalizing possibility: this cycle might be faulty in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, causing a build-up of errors in a neuron's DNA, said Jelena Radulovic, a Serb. To better understand the part these DNA breaks play in memory formation, Radulovic and her colleagues trained mice to associate a small electrical shock with a new environment, so that when the animals were once again put into that environment, they would 'remember' the experience and show signs of fear, such as freezing in place. Then the researchers examined gene activity in neurons in a brain area key to memory -- the hippocampus. They found that some genes responsible for inflammation were active in a set of neurons four days after training. Three weeks after training, the same genes were much less active.

I partially agree in the evolutionary sense. Bad shit that happened in the past shaped some responses, winning responses. In this way some of the memories from the past are burned into the DNA. I see it as mandatory ones, the most important lessons for what worked so far. See snake shape jump back.

also the entire premise of muh birthrates with regard to east asia is insane considering Japan and especially Korea are massively overpopulated, and this is patently obvious if youve ever been to these countries (which you clearly havent)
the worst case scenario for Japan is their population drops to 80 million in 50 years, oh the horror that Japan might have the same population it did in 1950
Oh how horrible that there will be less competition for jobs, cheaper housing, less inflation, less suffocating cities, more country per person
>inb4 muh GDP

all the slander against Japan is literally just propaganda so that people can keep deluding themselves that any of the policy decisions since the civil rights movement are working

Where is the evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are as intelligent or even moreso than Whites and Mongoloids? They lack the basic hallmarks of well developed crania, such as large circumferences, high vaults, rounded or elongated crania, and strong prefrontal cortexes.

It's obvious that there's a certain conclusion that you desperately want to be true and you're just mad that the data shows you're wrong.
If you try to figure something out by first pre-assuming the conclusion before doing any research, and then just making excuses every time you're disproven, you're never going to get anywhere.

Jews have higher average IQs than most races, deal with it. If you want to attack something about this fact, your time would be better spent focusing on the fact that IQ tests only test the thing that IQ tests test, they don't actually test "intelligence". IQ test results have high correlation with a lot of important things like expected income and general success in life but they don't really test general intelligence.
>>
>>16103882
100 IQ is defined as the expected average result of a completely random sample of the entire population.

That chart only has results above 100 because it's only testing a specific subset of the population, and that specific subset all tends to have above average IQ.

so basically what he is saying is that random nonsense hallucinated by ChatGPT makes about as much sense as any other text, even to the reviewers who are supposed to be experts on the field.

This is ultimate proof that eveything beyond calculus is is nothing but a jewish brainfart. Advanced math is the most useless horse shit in existence.

After seeing Lucy (movie) i'm really interested about what would happen if humans started using more than 10% of their brain. Obviously not as science fiction like making other people hover in the air, but maybe control your own metabolism? Would that be possible if you would suddenly become aware of the 'unaware' part of your brain that controls food process and so on?

If a percent of the stuff of IQ maps regularly seen here were the truth, a 5 poit IQ increase would have enormous financial impact.
Much of the world is now in stagnation, a major intelligence uplift would probably get us out of the problems. From this we would see rapid development in genetics, brain knowledge and health.
>>
I hypothesize that a typical person is, in fact, using close to 100% of their brain every moment. I propose an experiment which has the possibility to disprove my hypothesis: remove some small amount of a person's brain, say 10%, and observe their mental function.
If the typical moron is only using 10% of his brain to begin with, it's unlikely that we will accidentally scoop out the 10% he happens to be using. If we do, we can repeat the experiment several times until we have determined what parts of the brain are necessary and what parts are not.
If, however, my hypothesis is correct, then upon the removal of any significant percentage of the brain, particularly from the frontal lobe, the test subject would be reduced to the level of mental function shown by Mr. CoP.
I welcome alternative theories that could explain the mismatch between the amount of the brain that a person can "tap into" and the amount that is necessary for proper life functions.

Why don’t we collect hydrogen gas from sewer gas or use proton reducing microorganisms in aeration tanks to break down sewage and release hydrogen gas?

From what I can understand all methods we currently have of generating H2 involve the electrolysis of water which inevitably results in a net gain in CO2 emissions on any power grid run using coal power, defeating the purpose of generating H2 gas for use in hydrogen powered vehicles. Why don’t we employ proton reducing microorganisms to generate hydrogen gas?

Many fields are very, very conservative, and if something has not been done the last 1000 years it will not be attempted the next 1000 years. And we have had sewer works since the Roman era, 2000 years ago.
From >>>/diy/pjg I see that sewers accumuate struvite, bit they just get rid of it instead of using it as a valuable source of minerals. Again, they have not done this before and that will not do it either. And it is the same with hydrogen.

So when one day a new Elon Musk figure appears and secures exculsive rights to struvite and hydrogen, the impotent and the incapable will moan that everyone could have done that. They just didn't do it themselves, for reasons.

There are rules about bacterial cultures and where they can be used. Bacteria from human waste is quite restricted, and you also risk waste runoff to ground water, lakes and the sea where other people can be exposed to the human adapted bacteria.
