‘We have a system that is fundamentally broken.’ — Rep. @AOC is explaining just how f*cked campaign finance laws really are

So I learned that “crack dancing” is a thing. Choreoathetosis (uncontrolled writing movements) associated with cocaine intoxication. The more you know #neurostud

The opioid epidemic is a serious problem in the US. Doctors keep prescribing, more patients keep getting addicted, babies are born already with withdrawal symptoms and the cycle perpetuates itself. People just need to stop giving pain meds to family & friends. Derrrrrr #neurostud

For my neuro gem, here’s a video on classical conditioning where a girl classically conditions her brother with a nerf gun. Classical conditioning is an associative learning & the brother associates getting shot with a quack. It’s hilarious #neurostud https://t.co/yrXBe0NEGN

There’s a Buddhist prayer my mom taught me. I can recite it but literally have no idea what it means. Just a bunch of phonemes to me that sound like a cult chant 😂 so I guess it’s similar to your situation and the Muslim prayer @doctor_safi #neurostud

I saw this video a couple years ago about this blind boy who clicks with his tongue and he “sees” through echolocation. The sound waves bounce off objects and travels to his ear and he can sense details about his environment. His ears are so on point 👂🏻👌🏻#neurostud

The visual system is so fascinating! It’s more than just seeing things. There’s low visual processing of things like color, movement & orientation. Then there’s intermediate processing of contour, surfaces, etc. Finally there’s high level processing to attach meaning. #neurostud

Babies have primitive reflexes that gradually fade over time. One such reflex is the palmar grasp reflex where the infant involuntary closes their palm around anything placed in their hand. I love when babies grab onto my finger when I place it in their tiny hands 😍 #neurostud

@doctor_safi I appreciate your candidness at the round table today! It was very real. Most people don’t speak about failing even though failures are so important for us to learn and grow to get to where we are. Let’s just hope I don’t epically fail at our final exam 😬 #neurostud

I want to go into pediatric medicine and it was interesting to learn about neonatal development. It’s important to know that neurulation converts the neural plate into the neural tube during the 4th week and NTD’s result when neurulation fails to occur normally. #neurostud

CT- radiation, fast, density. MRI- no radiation, slower, high resolution, soft tissues. I wonder if it’s possible to create an imaging technique that combines the two so that you’d only have to give one scan to see everything in depth. Would that be more beneficial? 🤔#neurostud

Sensory info from one side of the body crosses over to the other side in the spinal cord. So if the spinal cord is damaged on the left side, you have a loss of pain and temperature on the right side but is there a loss of pain and temperature on the left side also? #neurostud

When we learned about botulinum toxin in class, I remembered a commercial I saw about Botox and the name botulinum toxin popped up at the end. Now I know it blocks ACh release. It’s crazy how a protein commonly used in cosmetics can also cause such a fatal disease. #neurostud

[Christie Tran @christietran27]

I learned about action potential in AP biology and anatomy so yesterday’s lecture was a nice review. The lecture reminded me of when I saw Lorenzo’s Oil, which is a movie where this boy has ALD, which is when fatty acids build up and damages the myelin on the neurons. #neurostud
