Neurodivergency

Kann mir vielleicht aus der Neurodivergenz Bubble erklären warum mich die Akupressurmatte so extrem krass entspannt und runter fährt?

Why are autism & ADHD considered completely separate conditions when they have a ton of overlapping traits and neither’s origins are known? My mind just won’t let this go until it makes sense…

There is a large degree of overlap between the genetic causes of autism and ADHD. Now, researchers from Aarhus University have found gene variants, which increase the risk of developing only one of the diagnoses and not the other.br /br /

There are prominent scientists that put them into one umbrella term, google “Gillberg ESSENCE“ Early Symptomatic Syndroms Eliciting Neurodevelopmental Clinical Examinations

Along with the study of brain activity evoked by external stimuli, an increased interest in the research of background, “noisy” brain activity is fast developing in current neuroscience. It is becoming apparent that this “resting-state” activity is a major factor determining other, more particular, responses to stimuli and hence it can be argued that background activity carries important information used by the nervous systems for adaptive behaviors. In this context, we investigated the generation of information in ongoing brain activity recorded with magnetoencephalography (MEG) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and non-autistic children. Using a stochastic dynamical model of brain dynamics, we were able to resolve not only the deterministic interactions between brain regions, i.e., the brain's functional connectivity, but also the stochastic inputs to the brain in the resting state; an important component of large-scale neural dynamics that no other method can resolve to date. We then computed the Kullback-Leibler (KLD) divergence, also known as information gain or relative entropy, between the stochastic inputs and the brain activity at different locations (outputs) in children with ASD compared to controls. The divergence between the input noise and the brain's ongoing activity extracted from our stochastic model was significantly higher in autistic relative to non-autistic children. This suggests that brains of subjects with autism create more informatio...

Es gibt wohl bis zu 42% mehr Informationsverarbeitung bei den Gehirnen der Menschen auf dem Spektrum. Das ist ne ganze Menge Holz auf die wir Zugriff haben, die andere nicht annähernd in der teils...

#Autistics and #ADHD people: What are your most liked autistic-centered (or ADHD-centered) websites (created and edited by autistics and/or ADHDers) that have informative, well-sourced and thoughtful articles about autism, ADHD, and neurodiversity? @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #actuallyautistic #adhd @actuallyadhd@a.gup.pe

Converging lines of research suggest that we might be misunderstanding something we do every night of our lives.
