A new study reveals that regularly writing down partner-focused sexual fantasies can significantly boost sexual desire. The brief cognitive exercise also helps reduce sexual distress and performance anxiety by shifting attention toward rewarding erotic… https://t.co/u81hGOZdol
Even with an otherwise healthy diet, adding about 10% more ultra-processed food—roughly a standard packet of chips a day—was tied to a measurable drop in attention and processing speed. https://t.co/Yj9r1x7Egr https://t.co/0wa46c4BgQ
Mind is not inner content.
Mind is maintained transition-capable organization.
To study mind scientifically, we may need to measure the coupled dynamics by which a living system remains capable of transition.

#Color choices at home influence mood, cognition, and well-being. Muted greens and blues support creativity and calm, while strong reds may increase arousal but hinder focus. Shade and context matter. @ConversationEDU https://t.co/3VWZNP4w7z https://t.co/NvrDraXsxd
A new study reveals a causal link between gut bacteria, blood lipids, and neuropsychiatric conditions like depression and Alzheimer's. The findings suggest specific microbes influence brain health by altering fat molecules in the body. https://t.co/ZTcXzQyjyq
AI Models Form Theory-of-Mind Beliefs
Researchers discovered that large language models rely on a small set of internal, position-tracking connections to perform social reasoning tasks similar to Theory of Mind.
These specialized patterns, especially those shaped by rotary positional encoding, help the models infer beliefs and perspectives despite being far less efficient than the human brain.
The findings reveal that only a tiny subset of parameters actually drives social inference, even though the full network activates.
This insight could guide the development of more energy-efficient AI systems.

We don’t need no Daylight Saving;
We don’t need no spring forward;
No darkness added to the morning;
Hey, Congress, leave those clocks alone!
We were fine when had permanent Standard Time;
We were fine when just had permanent Standard Time!
Alzheimer’s Drug Reduces Amyloid but Fails to Restore Brain Waste Flow
A new study reveals that lecanemab, an Alzheimer’s drug targeting amyloid-β buildup, fails to restore the brain’s waste-clearing glymphatic system in the short term.
Even after plaques are removed, brain imaging showed no improvement in fluid clearance or neural recovery.
This suggests that once neuronal and vascular damage are established, amyloid reduction alone may not be enough.
Researchers emphasize that Alzheimer’s treatment must target multiple disease pathways to restore brain health.
