We have a project just for MS and #AI, https://gregory-ms.com/ and nothing would make us happier than finding hope.

In 1990, George Franklin was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison based on the testimony of his 28-year-old daughter Eileen. Her memory of the murder was relatively fresh at just one year. But the murder happened 20 years earlier. According to the prosecution, Eileen repressed her memory of the murder. Then much later she recovered it in complete detail. The case launched a huge debate between memory researchers who argue there is no credible scientific evidence that repressed memories exist and practicing clinicians who claim that repressed memories are real.

Just published my first Substack today, and I’m excited to share it with you! It’s also available on my blog. It’s a short read, about 5 minutes long, and there’s even an audio version

Today’s post is called “Left Brain, Right Brain, Who’s the Master?” It’s a philosophical exploration of how the structure of our brains might explain the current crisis in American politics, and what we can do about it. I hope you’ll take a look and let me know what you think!

Researchers have hit upon a discovery that appears to delay the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in some people genetically destined to get the disease in their 40s and 50s. “It’s still a study but it has given me an extension to my life that I never banked on having,” said Jake Heinrichs of New York City.

Humans have been hunting for sex-based differences in the brain dating back to at least ancient Greece. Yet a scientist observing a female and male brain in a lab can’t tell them apart. "I'm not aware of any measure you can make of the human brain where the male and female distributions don't overlap," Dr. Armin Raznahan told Live Science. That said, the question of how male and female brains differ may still matter. @LiveScience has more:

It may be the pain it causes to your teeth or the gross taste in your mouth, but a news study shows that chewing on a hard substance like wood can increase levels of a naturally occurring antioxidant in the human brain. This isn’t to suggest you gnaw on a 2x4, but perhaps chewing on a pencil may improve a person’s memory. @ScienceAlert has more on what dogs have apparently known for decades:

Structural brain changes in post-COVID condition and its relationship with cognitive impairment.

"Our results evidenced cortical thickening and decreased microstructural [white matter] integrity in [post-Covid-19 condition], as well as low performance in working memory, verbal memory, mental processing speed, verbal fluency and executive functions."

[It's not post Covid. It's not post viral. It might be post acute, but don't call it post viral. The virus is still there. -cg]

This link will take you to the opening pages of the #memoir I wrote w/ Dr. Bruce Miller. If it resonates with you, I am very, very sorry. Please know that Bruce & I wrote this to honor my father, Jerry, to help those whose lives have been impacted by #dementia, & to share what we know about #grief & #literature (my main contribution) & #neurology & #empathy (Bruce's contribution). We speak alone, together, & to each other. We hope you find it helpful.

I just tried to re-establish care with the #neurology office I saw before #covid came.

Next available new patient appt: January 2026

I took it, but y’all might want consider this before you catch covid for brunch. My current neurologist pretends they’ve never heard of #MECFS. And if I want a new one I can’t see anyone for a year. Sweet.

Never heard of the glymphatic system before. Apparently, it is how the brain washes itself. @erictopol has this excellent introduction.

"The study, published in Nature Communications, helps to explain the neural processes that contribute to the confirmation bias entrenched in most people’s thought processes."

"Strong convictions can blind us to information that challenges them"
