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. 🧵

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.

Late 60s to 70s generations were going through so much turmoil, yet they had awesome music. Cooked this while listening to some Motown. Tofu is cheaper than any other animal protein. It turned out yummy. Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive. Next time I'll try this with mushrooms.
