Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other.
Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵

Make no mistake. The anti-scientists in charge will launch many "safety scrutiny of approved vaccines against X", not because of any safety concern, not because the many past studies were not good. It is anti-sience ideology, all of it.

Thank you for responding. I've personally come to the conclusion that there's no such thing as neurotypicals, but introverted neurodivergents and extroverted neurodivergents. The latter being the ones following the group and trying hard to fit in regardless of the consequences.

I had a hypothesis that vitamin D prevents cancer. I worked on this for > 10 years, had 3 NIH-funded grants, and published >30 papers on this topic. Based on our work and that of my esteemed colleagues, I concluded that the evidence does not support the hypothesis.

A stay in the hospital is stressful enough without adding on a Covid infection that could lead to long Covid. It’s unacceptable that health care leaders have become careless about the risks of Covid.
