Reply to Transplanted Human Brain Cells Respond to Visual Stimuli in Rat Brains – Study finds human-derived brain organoids can integrate into the visual cortex of rat brains. After three months, the organoids demonstrate electrical responses to visual stimuli. by swhelan_tn

I read an article where a pig embryo had almost all of its organs replaced with human's when scientists trief to harvest human organs. Imagine a literal human in a pig body

Reply to comment by InTheEndEntropyWins in Researchers looked at health outcomes for a population of more than 400,000 middle-aged and older adults, and found that both social isolation and loneliness increased the risk of hospitalization or death from heart failure by 15% to 20%. by Wagamaga

Study wasn't structured to determine causation, but that's a strong correlation on a risk factor that warrants further study.

Reply to New evidence suggests that ‘hybrid’ immunity, the result of both vaccination and a bout of COVID-19, can provide partial protection against reinfection for at least eight months. Immunity acquired by booster vaccination alone seems to fade somewhat faster. by MistWeaver80

Two questions

  1. I swore I was seeing head lines that after your third booster they were not as affective

  2. how much does eating healthily/exercising help you from dying or getting extremely sick from covid?

Explain that first sentence, please.

I double goddamn guarantee you that the writer of the book wouldn’t be on your side of this weird antivax stuff. He was one of the smartest English speaking humans alive in my lifetime.

Were you under the impression that the results of this study only applied to people that got COVID on purpose?

A «vaccination» that does not vaccinate.

We practically eliminated polio, syphyllus and many other diseases. But not this one. Not even the original covid-19.

How many more «boosters» are we supposed to get? At some point the so called «vaccines» will do more harm than covid itself.

Doesn't really say what's the cause. Is it because isolation causes increased heart failure, or is it because because they are less likely to be helped or taken to hospital since there is no-one to help them.

Would definitely not do it intentionally, just mean that it's somewhat inevitable as it spreads through the whole human race...

Would vaccination type matter? I’ve seen some data suggesting the adenovirus (jnj or astra) platforms do generate memory B cells and llpcs compared to the mRNA platforms.

Reply to comment by _ancienttrees_ in Newly-discovered Earth-mass exoplanet — named Wolf 1069 b — may provide durable habitable conditions across a wide area of its dayside by marketrent

We do worry about the one planet we do have. Well, at least the scientists do. That doesn't stop us from exploring. Ofc people with small brains can't comprehend the idea that science isn't mutually exclusive and that we can do multiple things at once. Progress isn't linear and does not require we all focus on one thing.

Reply to comment by favouritemistake in Political views can be predicted by differences in brain activity. Study says political differences don’t just emerge when it comes to how we interpret reality around us; our brains actually ‘see’ different things depending on our politics. by mossadnik

>through neuroplasticity our brains are all capable of changing based on our experiences (including our mental experiences/how we process experiences in our brains.)

Neuroplasticity doesn't work like that.

Neuroplasticity is defined as the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury

It's probably more accurate to say that the combined influence of genetics, hormones, environment and experiences are collectively responsible for our beliefs. People with similar biological influences (genetics & hormones) will likely have a similar mindset which will affect perception and, in turn, their beliefs.
