Thanks @NeuroCellPress for the choice of the cover. Indeed, you made my 10 year old boy extremely happy. I couldn’t imagine that his work could be highlighted at one of the most premiere neuroscience journal😀. You rock!!

We identified how mechanical forces shape myelin development. TMEM63A mechaochannel in oligodendrocytes converts physical cues into molecular signals that control myelin growth. Breakdown mirrors human leukodystrophy.

In the past, technology caused employment to move up on the sophistication scale. Technology provided the muscle, people did more and more of the thinking . Today, AI is forcing people to move down into low tech and perhaps menial jobs.

Laura Loony seems stupid enough to bullshitting where she can be caught.
There are a lot of North Arabian tribes that did not convert to Islam & still bear Arabian garb.
Hawatmeh is a well known Christian North-Arabian clan. They have been Christian for perhaps 2000 years.

@nntaleb I am Greek Orthodox from Jordan. My family is originally from Al Karak. And there it’s own that both Christmas and Muslims celebrate together from easter to Ramadan.

I walk around Amman with a cross the size of Minneapolis & nobody has ever bothered me.
There are even North Arabian tribes (Haddadin) in Jordan that are Christian & were never pushed to convert in the past 1400 years.

Israeli settlers in Palestine have struck the residents of Taibeh, the only entirely Christian village in the region.
