#CognitiveDecline

A study has unveiled the first-ever map of mitochondria in the brain, which could offer crucial insights into cognitive decline and age-related brain disorders. This map, showing how mitochondrial energy varies across the brain, has the potential to advance understanding of conditions like Alzheimer's. The research also lays the foundation for future studies on brain health and energy production.

Goose is eyeballing you

With how quickly norovirus ripped through father-in-law's household (unspouse is now sick, despite precautions), gotta rethink current preps. Biggest pain point* is FIL himself; cognitive decline means mask wearing and hand-washing is a hit/miss. How to keep us all safe if bird flu becomes a human issue too? #ElderCare #CognitiveDecline

*not meaning Pain In The Arse, though we can all be that too 🙂

Indicators of structural sexism and racism are associated with greater memory decline in older women in the United States.

A new study from Columbia University researchers: ‘Sexism Is a Risk Factor for Memory Decline Among Women’

From the Columbia University posting:

“The difference between being born in the most versus the least sexist state was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.

The study is part of a growing body of research that has investigated links between structural sexism and health. Structural sexism, like structural racism, does not refer to personal incidences but to inequality in resources and power that stem from social policies and societal norms. Hate crimes or slurs are individual acts of racism or sexism, whereas unfair lending practices and underrepresentation in government are structural.”

247) Are we just talking #CognitiveDecline here or are we fast closing in on full #CaligulaMode?

Has the last remaining elements of the tangled mess that is #Trump’s brain realized that he ought not serve up more desiccated brain droppings that will impede his attempt to regain the #WhiteHouse?

#Trump now it’s for a #Weird play list rather than talking ⬇️

COVID/Test-scores
Ever since 2019, there's been a drop off in college entrance scores. I know these tests are problematic, etc. But they are showing a dramatic decline likely due to cognitive decline in students

The SAT data shows a greater decline in Texas vs NY where there more protections in place for longer.

I can't help wondering how many more cases like this we'll see the more people/doctors get repeat #Covid infections & #LongCovid #CognitiveDecline

"After the surgery, Shaknovsky told Bryan’s widow that her husband’s “spleen” was so diseased that it was “four times bigger than usual and had migrated to the other side” of his body"

He removed his liver!

Aside from the fact that these answers indicate that the ostensibly *pro-family* #Republican Party has poor #solutions to making #childcare less expensive, they also show #Trump’s increasing #CognitiveDecline. He was asked a straightforward question on how he would make childcare less expensive & the specific #legislation he would pursue to make that possible. Trump either had no interest in a coherent answer or wasn’t capable of providing one.

"Had the #media been conscientiously covering #Trump, the public would understand these #bizarre outings as part of his noticeable #CognitiveDecline. Trump’s sporadic appearances on the trail alone should be grist for the cable #news shows. When they do discuss his mental state, it is often in the context of horserace #politics.

(...How about asking hard questions about how a party can stand behind someone in an alternative reality?)"

Text from article: Had the media been conscientiously covering Trump, the public would understand these bizarre outings as part of his noticeable cognitive decline. Trump’s sporadic appearances on the trail alone should be grist for the cable news shows. When they do discuss his mental state, it is often in the context of horserace politics. (Axios commented on his AI delusion: “Trump’s advisers and allies worry he’s spending so much time in an alternative reality that it’s undermining his real-world campaign.” How about asking hard questions about how a party can stand behind someone in an alternative reality?)
