How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my new paper with Wallace Marshall! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny! 🧵1/n

Mitochondria do more than power our cells: they shape how we think, feel, and experience the world. In this interview, Martin Picard breaks down his new research that illuminates how mitochondria affect brain energy, brain networks, mental health, and ultimately, our quality of life. Dr. Picard walks us through his team's revolutionary brain mapping study, which examined over 700 sections of the human brain to uncover how mitochondria are distributed and specialized by brain region and cell type. The results have profound implications for how we understand, cognitive decline, and psychiatric disorders like depression bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why mitochondrial health is essential for brain function - How different brain regions rely on different types of mitochondria - Why people respond so differently to the same metabolic dysfunction - How future scans and biomarkers could help us measure brain energy non-invasively - What it means to think of ourselves as “energetic beings” rather than just biological machines When it comes to metabolic psychiatry, mitochondria are a key player. This research is a huge step towards better understanding these tiny organelles and the role they play in mental health and cognitive function. Expert Featured: Dr. Martin Picard Martin Picard Resources Mentioned: Three Ways to Keep Your Mitochondria Healthy - A human brain map of mitochondrial respiratory capacity and diversity - CMEs Mentioned: Managing Major Mental Illness with Dietary Change: The New Science of Hope - Brain Energy: The Metabolic Theory of Mental Illness - Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.

Ilya Sutskever explains why AI will do 100% the work that human can do within few years. "Slowly but surely, or maybe not so slowly, AI will keep getting better. The day will come when AI will do all of our, all the things that we can do, not just some of them, but all of them. Anything which I can learn, anything which any one of you can learn, the AI could do as well. How do we know this, by the way? How can I be so sure? How can I be so sure of that? The reason is that all of us have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer. That's why we have a brain; the brain is a biological computer. So why can't the digital computer, a digital brain, do the same things? This is the one-sentence summary for why AI will be able to do all those things: because we have a brain, and the brain is a biological computer." --- Full Video on 'University of Toronto' YT Channel (link in comment)

"We learn very early that we can't do things alone, you have to do it together with people who know something different." Medicine laureate Edvard Moser on how the world could learn from collaboration in the scientific community. Moser was awarded the 2014 medicine prize for discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain.

HAVANA SYNDROME: BRAIN CELL DEATH As part of our year-long investigation, an internationally recognized expert in directed energy attacks said the damage to the brain is real and progressive. It gets worse over time. Dr. James Giordano: “It can cause both brain cell death and change in the functional ability of various cells and nodes in the brain to be able to maintain the networks that are so vital to our thought, our emotions and our behaviors.” LA Times Media Group LA Times Studios

🚨Kamala Harris literally believes cloud storage is above us and floating in the sky. She doesn’t have enough brain cells to run the country! How can you be this dumb ? If more people see how dumb this woman is then she will lose more support.

Scientists used 200,000 human brain cells to play DOOM. The cells had never seen a computer. They learned in real time. They got better. Separately: an entire fruit fly brain, 139,000 neurons, 50 million connections, was copied into a laptop. It predicts real brain responses with 90%+ accuracy. The biological computing timeline: 2021 → neurons learn Pong 2022 → fruit fly brain fully mapped 2024 → entire fly brain simulated on a laptop 2026 → human brain cells play DOOM A GPU needs ~700W to run an LLM. The brain runs the whole show on 20W. We're spending trillions on building the next giant AI training computer but what if the solution to our energy needs was just copying the technology already running in our heads?
