##Brain scans of people who’ve had #SARS-CoV-2 show a pattern of brain shrinkage that is distinct from normal aging. The orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus are the regions most likely to be affected post-#infection.
The ORBITAL FRONTAL CORTEX generates much interest because of some of the roles it is speculated to play in higher-order cognition, such as #DecisionMaking . It connects other regions of the brain to the sensory regions, #memory, and #emotion centers. Notable in #covid infections, this part of the brain processes #taste and #smell perception.
Cognitive functions usually associated with the orbitofrontal cortex include:
- Affective responses (emotional reactions)
- Decision making
- Impulse control
Damage to the orbitofrontal cortex may cause changes in social #behavior (how you interact with others and situations), decision making, and #personality.
People with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex may show -
MORE:
- Aggression
- Childish conduct
- Disinhibition
- Apathy
- Risky behavior
and LESS:
- #Motivation
- #Empathy / concern and for others
- Impulse control
Damage to the orbitalfrontal cortex may alter how the body reacts to emotions, leading to impulsivity and bad judgment. For instance, when making a bold decision, healthy patients exhibit physical symptoms of worry, such as sweaty palms. Patients with injury to the orbitofrontal cortex, however, did not.
Studies show that the orbitalfrontal cortex aids in forecasting decisions based on experience. If this part of the brain is damaged, people may make bad choices even though they are aware of the consequences.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, some people find that the changes in their brain make them feel happier, unnhibited, less prone to worry, and more animated.
Great thread regarding #cognitive, #emotional, #personality, and #behavioral changes due to prior #Covid infection. Includes good set of links to primary #medical sources, #scientific and related media sources. Also links to related Covid threads
I’m demigirl and demiboy or something.
Some kind of bigender, nonbinary, but not quite trans masc tho?
Trans chicks make perfect sense to me, but cis dudes and cis chicks don’t, at all.
Trans dudes are like, fine? But not me?
I understand the logic but I don’t want people to look at me and go “Manly guy dude mc mannerson. Bob.”
I want them to look at me and go “JFC are vey going on about thiamine depletion in the ocean again? Ver tirades don’t get anyone onboard. I’ve told vem time and again.”
(I’d say femboy, but uh. Y’know. Safe search that one with strict filtering if you’re curious and not at work etc.)

We applaud our student Dustin Raeke for finishing his Research module in our lab titled "Environmental effects on gastropod personality". His great efforts allowed him to study behavioral repeatability in 166 snails across two environments by conducting a whopping 830 experiments. Look forward to reading more about his results in a publication that will be prepared in the near future! #ecology #evolution #personality #plasticity #gastropods @academicchatter
(3/N) The first (adapted) question of the #ThreadModelingManifesto is:
The answer in a business context is usually a set of "#assets" that are worth protecting.
Individuals seem to struggle more than businesses with brainstorming specific and relevant "assets", though. The mental link to potential threats seems to be hard to make. That's why I suggest to reflect on a few abstract assets, first – how much do these matter to you, relatively?
#Safety and #wellbeing
Your freedom. Having a home. Your physical and mental integrity. Your autonomy. Having a space of your own, with your boundaries being respected. Creative space and time, free from interference. Being able to own things; or in some cultures, to participate in shared stewardship, and benefit from commons. Integrity of objects and data that belong to you, or that you depend on.
Your #locations and #movements
Where exactly your domicile is. Your travel plans. The freedom to move and to gather, without surveillance or tracking. The right to solitude.
Your #privacy, and your #anonymity
Being able to stay incognito, or pseudonymous. Deciding who gets to know what about you. The option of repudiating claims about what you allegedly believe, have said, or have done – regardless of the facts.
Your #relationships
Knowledge about your family, friends and significant others. Your reputation and public standing. The freedom to associate with others. Knowledge about your memberships, the communities you belong to, and your employment, including the specific hierarchies within those contexts.
Your #personality
Your identity and its facets, including gender. Political affiliations, and religious beliefs. Your hobbies, love interests, feelings, intentions, behaviors, habits, and preferences.
Access to information, goods, and services. Availability of a functional infrastructure that enables such access.

When this is all said and down there will be a whole set of criteria in the DSM V just about #Trump. This is well beyond #narcissistic #personality #disorder.
And that's likely why I'll never work with said person...
Just like with #RMS:

Observers formed moderately accurate assessments of others' self-reported personality traits (communion, conscientiousness, trustworthiness, aggression, and hubristic pride) based on their smiles. Accuracy was higher with Duchenne smiles. Lip corner movement, dimples, and parted lips were the facial changes with the strongest association with accurate assessments.

Cool study.

#Establishment #Republicans' #DNC #epiphany may have come too late.
Today’s #RepublicanParty and the “#conservative” #movement belong to #DonaldTrump. They are an extension of his #mind, #character, #emotions, #personality, #desires, and #impulses. This means that Trump’s #characterfailings, apparent #emotional and #psychological #unwellness and #challenged #intellect are theirs as well.
