Perimenopause can have a huge impact on memory, sleep and mood for many women
'Brain fog' during perimenopause is real, and it can disrupt women's lives and careers. It's one of many cognitive impacts of the transition to menopause.Elsa Silberstein (ABC News)
Rhythms of the Brain
> Abstract. Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in #neuroscience. This book provides support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities.
A basic understanding of neuroscience is the required prerequisite knowledge for this book
The discovery of ‘ovoid cells’ is transforming our understanding of memory and may pave the way for new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.
These highly specialized neurons activate each time we encounter something new, triggering a process that stores those objects in memory and allowing us to recognize them months—potentially even years—later.
Once upon a time, you had no clue what a phone was, or how to use it. But now, you've learnt to use your phone, & phones in general (a general intelligence). You don't have to learn it all again, every time you use a different phone.
This book, explains, using the research of #neuroscience, how we do that.

When I read research papers that are the result of very expensive work (experiments or simulations) I always want to know: how could this project have possibly ended with a null result? And is there an argument in this paper that compares the actual result to this null? If not, I'm very suspicious.
Actually this is a good question to ask about any paper, but the high stakes of super expensive research make it particularly important to ask the question. In my experience, it is surprisingly rarely answered in the paper and I find it hard to believe in these results.

The Neurophysiological Correlates of Religious Chanting
the neurophysiological correlates of religious chanting are different from those of meditation and prayerJunling Gao (The Open Buddhist University)
@jonmsterling @lindsey
A very senior faculty member once told me that "back in the day" (when they were young) an interesting research finding would first get published as a brief note in Nature, and then a year later the lengthy, detailed manuscript with all the data and methods would appear in the Journal of Neurophysiology. And that one wasn't considered a serious scientist if the latter wasn't published, for the former was but the news splash with barely enough substance to understand what the claim was.
Tragic that this separation of concerns has been lost, with everyone now giving more weight to the flashy bit ("significance of findings"), to the point of not bothering to publish the lengthy, detailed, reproducible study ("strength of evidence").
These two axes are what eLife's assessment aims at capturing in a pithy paragraph.
