[ETL]

Long article, but obviously a fascinating subject. What I find particularly interesting is that all of this activity takes place, or at least originates, in the bizarre and still highly mysterious realm of quantum mechanics. But quantum consciousness is a whole other topic of its own.

Last week I had a procedure with anesthesia.

Later,in recovery, I said whoa...I've got double vision...

I swear I could actually feel my brain trying to reboot to correct it. Took about 2 minutes.

“That suggests to me that while flexibility is good for healthy people, there is perhaps such a thing as too much flexibility,” Bassett says...what's really interesting in this article is how the reputed neural flexibility in learning and generally what's being discovered about the neurological basis of learning and personality can be related to mental health - Dr. Julius Wishner at Penn had a theory that schizophrenia was a disorder in the efficiency of learning, and this would tie in well with the idea in the article that it was related to too much neural flexibility - eventually as they become more sophisticated the theories will implicate how levels of the brain modulating emotional experience are also involved - an overactive amygdala, sort of the alertness/watchdog brain region, for instance might be implicated in paranoid states where the individual is always on guard against someone or thing doing them harm - amazing progress being made with our improving computing and imaging capacities.....
