Living in space can change where your brain sits in your skull – new research | The-14

New research shows spaceflight shifts the brain upward and backward inside the skull, with longer missions causing greater changes that mostly recover.

Smaller hippocampal regions linked to better PTSD recovery

A recent study found that smaller volumes in specific hippocampal regions are linked to greater reductions in PTSD symptoms over time, particularly in avoidance and numbing, challenging the belief that larger hippocampal volumes are always better for PTSD recovery.

The MRI went like this.

Doctor: "Anything to report?"

Tech: "There's nothing."

Dr: "Nothing to report? That's good news!"

Tech: "No, it is disastrous. It is not nothing to report. There *is* nothing. I mean, there's no brain matter to speak of."

Dr: "Good god! How does this man even operate?"

Tech: "He's powered by five hamsters."

Me: "I'm not a man. I'm nonbinary."

Tech: "See! Hamsters, I tell ya!"

Dr: "Did someone check those hamsters for metal?"

Tech: "No, we did not even know they were there."

Dr: "Well, that explains the hamster wheel stuck in the machine."

At Night Café, I asked SDXL 1.0 to produce a picture of a PCNS lymphoma. I was expecting some sort of brain MRI, but I got this instead. 😬

Had a #brainMRI last evening. I know just enough to know that there’s one weird thing on it. It could be a #nothingburger or maybe a kind of a problem. While some ppl would say it would be better to not see the result without a Doctor, I still feel ok, it’s given me some time to think about the various possibilities and formulate questions. Would not mind if you all would hold me in the light, as we Quakers say.
