Post Title: Fechnerian Psychophysics

Man lives on earth not once, but three times: the first stage of his life is his continual sleep; the second, sleeping and waking by turns; the third, waking forever.
~ Gustav Fechner
Gustav Fechner is the founding father of modern psychophysics. However, within academia his views are widely misinterpreted as Fechner invented the discipline to oppose "reductive materialism" (the mainstream view in contemporary science). Most research in the domain of psychophysics is based on the premise that mind and matter (psyche and physis) are separate and independent entities. Fechners psychophysics is incompatible with this prima facie stipulation which is not grounded in empirical evidence, viz., it is a (often dogmatic) belief system which is presented as if it would be a logical necessity while (...)

The Glymphatic System: An overview

Post Title: The Glymphatic System: An overview

Jessen, N. A., Munk, A. S. F., Lundgaard, I., & Nedergaard, M.. (2015). The Glymphatic System: A Beginner’s Guide. Neurochemical Research, 40(12), 2583–2599.
Plain numerical DOI: 10.1007/s11064-015-1581-6

“The glymphatic system is a recently discovered macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes a unique system of perivascular tunnels, formed by astroglial cells, to promote efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites from the central nervous system. besides waste elimination, the glymphatic system also facilitates brain-wide distribution of several compounds, including glucose, lipids, amino acids, growth factors, and neuromodulators. intriguingly, the glymphatic system function mainly during sleep and is largely disengaged during wakefulness. the biological (...)
