From Trial and Error to a Learning Healthcare System
Personalized and Precise Medicine The more I thought about the problem of psychiatric medications, the more I realized that the solution might require something much larger than a better antidepressant. It might require a different kind of healthcare system. Today, a patient’s medical information is often scattered across different hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, laboratories, insurance companies,…

Autism and Robotics
Rutgers University researchers use AI and video analysis to track micromovement spikes—rapid, microscopic facial muscle activations. This Rutgers University breakthrough reveals that autistic individuals express emotions like neurotypical people, but their microexpressions are often too subtle or fall outside the intensity range recognized by the human eye. [1, 2, 3, 4] Led by Dr. Elizabeth…

Neuroplasticity
My postulate is that our genome dictates how our neurons function, including which chemicals they secrete and when. When a person takes drugs or abuses substances, this interferes with the normal activity of neurons and triggers changes in their signaling. Over time, these changes can alter neuronal circuits and brain function, contributing to neuroplasticity. The…

Mitotic Recombination leads to cancer?
While crossing over is a normal and essential process during meiosis (the cell division that produces sperm and eggs), its occurrence in mitosis (the process of cell division for growth and repair) can indeed contribute to the development of cancer. Under normal circumstances, mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.…

High Dosage of DXM leads to neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is the brain’s remarkable ability to change and adapt throughout life in response to experiences, learning, and even injury. It involves the brain forming new neural pathways and modifying existing ones, allowing it to reorganize its structure and function. This dynamic process enables us to learn new things, recover from damage, and adjust to…
