Professions requiring constant spatial navigation physically reshape the hippocampus, the brain region Alzheimer’s attacks first. By routinely building mental maps, individuals may develop a cognitive reserve that delays the onset of severe memory loss. dlvr.it/TV36HS

“I've seen women insist on cleaning everything in the house before they could sit down to write... and you know it's a funny thing about housecleaning... it never comes to an end. Perfect way to stop a woman. A woman must be careful to not allow over-responsibility (or over-respectabilty) to steal her necessary creative rests, riffs, and raptures. She simply must put her foot down and say no to half of what she believes she "should" be doing. Art is not meant to be created in stolen moments only.” - Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The children's commissioner says if you're black you're 8 times more likely to be strip searched, & if you're asian you're 5 times more likely, and "the strange thing is it doesn't map across high crime areas"
It's not strange. Its racism.

Rethinking neuroplasticity: It’s not just about what "turns on," but what "dims down." New research reveals that in congenitally deaf individuals, the auditory cortex reorganizes through selective deactivation to
map visual space. By systematically silencing neural signals, the brain filters noise to supercharge visual attention. Massive shift in how we understand sensory compensation! neurosciencenews.com/deafnes…
