Today I am wondering about the insights we could have about the brain if we didn't insist that it recapitulates western power structures

For example, to what degree are our hypotheses about prefrontal cortex limited because we call its processes "executive functions" instead of like, "mothering"

If there is one valuable thing I learned during my PhD years is… my classmate’s lemon tart recipe! 😍🍋

In the new #openaccess companion on student notes from Latin Europe (@leuvenup.bsky.social), our own Lorenz Demey, together with collaborators, contributes a chapter arguing that student notes hold great promise as sources for intellectual #history 👇 lup.be/book/student... #HPS #earlymodern #philsky
Book cover of "Student Notes from Latin Europe (1400–1750): A Research Companion," edited by Xander Feys, Maxime Maleux, Andy Peetermans, and Raf Van Rooy. Published by Leuven University Press. The cover features a partial diagram of concentric celestial spheres and an anatomical drawing of a human head labeled with Latin terms for sensory faculties. The design is minimalist in beige and gray tones. There is also an open access logo and the logo of Lueven University Press in the bottom left corner.

A Young Woman Ruffling, Plate 2 from "Five Feminine Occupations", 1640-57, engraved by #GeertruydtRoghman (Dutch, 1625-1651/7), who was baptized #otd, Oct 19. Held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #artherstory #womenartists
The engraving depicts a woman wearing a gown, apron and head covering, sitting in a chair, next to a table covered with a cloth. On the table are at least one book and possibly some tools used for ruffling. Above the table a pendulum clock hangs on the wall. Behind the woman sits a human skull on a paper scroll.
