If you’re naming a part of the brain as responsible for XYZ??? You. Are. Full. Of. Shite.
Bleeding edge neurologists don’t know WTF parts of the brain “do”.
You say “the amygdala” does XYZ? You were current… 20 f*cking years ago, on 50yo data. And, clearly, not in any kind of focused study -20 years ago- because even then? We KNEW that was all bullshit. That memory is stored across diffuse regions of not only the brain itself, but the ENTIRE CNS. Which includes nerves in your darn finger tips. But, sure! It’s 2025. Quote old news in 1985 like it’s “new”. FFS. And that’s “just” memory.
NO SINGLE PART OF THE BRAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR -ANY- SINGLE THING.
News as of… 1995?
Ffs.
Drives me freaking crazy.
It’s like time travelers calling an iPod a jukebox. Um. No. Not at ALL. OLD FREAKING DATA. decades old tech, that music stored in a device is a “jukebox”. (And worse, assuming rpthat because a jukebox exists, that records, tapes, and digital music… doesn’t.). It’s. Just. WRONG. And it’s oooooooooold wrong. Which is worse. Like lit up houses are all from gas, or knob & tube electric… which hasn’t even been LEGAL for over 50 years.
Sure. That’s “new”. Something that was outlawed 50 years ago, in favor of a better option over a century old. That’s… “new”. No. No it fawking isn’t.
Furious. Insane. Disgusted. Fawk OFF… telling me any single part of the brain is responsible for any single,w other thing.
At BEST? Parts of the brain act like librarians… responsible for keying up relevant info.
As if a librarian carried 100s of thousands, millions, billions, of books home. Each night. They don’t. Neither does the brain. Not even shoved into a drive in their pocket.
The TREMENDOUS amount of info? Is diffuse. Across the ENTIRE brain, and CNS / ANS. Interacting in ways we have yet to unsderstand, much less define.
But. Sure??? Tell me it’s XYZ part of my brain?
Sure. It’s hungry like a wolf.
1985 STRONG.
