🤔 Unconscious behavior – What really drives people!🧠✨
#Zoomposium with #GerhardRoth: The reason lies deep in our unconscious processes. While our #consciousness formulates noble intentions, our #unconscious mind has long since made the actual #decisions. It is the invisible engine that drives our actions – often completely independently of what we consciously claim or believe.

An MIT study reveals what happens in the brain as lapses of attention occur following sleep deprivation. During these lapses, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain — a process that typically occurs during sleep and helps to wash away waste products that have built up during the day.
Machine learning analysis of fNIRS-derived hemodynamics revealed distinct cortical patterns distinguishing post-COVID-19 from controls (AUC=0.91) 🧠🦠

Scientists discover intercellular nanotubular communication system in brain
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adr7403
#HackerNews #intercellularcommunication #nanotubules #brainresearch #neuroscience #discoveries #scienceinnovation
Intercellular nanotubular networks mediate material exchange, but their existence in neurons remains to be explored in detail. We identified long, thin dendritic filopodia forming direct dendrite–dendrite nanotubes (DNTs) in mammalian cortex. Super-...
