#SARSCoV2 causes gastric damage: structural and ultrastructural evaluation

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40542875/

"Parietal cells showed pronounced structural damage and strong #SARSCoV2 positivity, highlighting their susceptibility and potential role in gastric dysfunction during infection."
SARS-CoV-2 causes gastric damage: structural and ultrastructural evaluation - PubMed
SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) infects the gastrointestinal tract; however, its effects on the stomach and underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The presence of ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) receptors in the gastric mucosa suggests that the stomach is vulnerabl …

(2) visual and parietal cortex store surprisingly rich information that is related to subjects' behavior. maybe working memory representations in these regions is not some fragile form of memory or epiphenomenal?

Darüber hinaus zeigte die funktionelle Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRT) im Ruhezustand eine Normalisierung der thalamokortikalen Hyperkonnektivität mit sensomotorischen und visuolloczipitalen Netzwerken nach der Behandlung,
Figure 4: Thalamic functional connectivity in ME/CFS patients Seed@tolivoxel functional connectivity maps are displayed as t?maps on the MNIE152 template. Warm colors indicate stronger positive connectivity; cool colors indicate reduced connectivity. (a) Patients vs HCs pre-treatment, seed: bilateral thalamus. Patients showed significantly increased thalamic connectivity with bilateral sensorimotor regions (precentral and postcentral gyri, superior parietal lobule) and bilateral visuo-occipital regions (lateral occipital cortex, lingual gyrus, cuneus, occipital pole). No significant differences were observed post-treatment compared to HCs. Threshold: voxel-wise p_<_0•001; cluster-level pL<L0•05, FDR-corrected. (b) Patients longitudinal (pre-vs post-treatment), seed: left thalamic sensorimotor cluster. Post-treatment reductions in thalamic connectivity were observed with bilateral sensorimotor regions (precentral and postcentral gyri), left superior parietal lobule, bilateral …

Still a couple places to touch up but, this is the most accurate representation I’ve been able to get to of Arctops Umulunshi yet :)
Arctops print from the side, looks like it’s about to swallow my shed Say AAAAAHHHH, arctops from the front, slightly angled Note those pallet teeth and the three upper postcanines, bottom jaw has no postcanines which is fairly common in larger gorgons Parietal eye shot, I’m a fan of my pal Ghost Dive’s take that this eye is excellent at making sure so overhead passing snacks go unnoticed, much like my dog when we open a bag of cheesy poofs

Here's a cool thing I learned recently about eyes! While nearly all vertebrates have two eyes, a few have a third parietal eye, and lampreys have two! And since the lamprey is so old, that could mean that all early vertebrates had bunches of eyes!

It's not relevant, I just think it's cool.

Did you know gorgonopsids have parietal eyes? It’s true! Here’s a cyonosaurus being worked on at the lab by Prim, who also worked on the Tufts-Love rex here at the Burke. I’ve circled the eye and pointed it out, it’s a rad thing you guys can play with in character designs w gorgons! #ref #sciart
Close up of the eye on top of the cyonosaurus head The arrow on the image points to the eye on the cyonosaurus, whose snoot is busted off. Back veiw With snoot. It’s very boopable.

WIP of Arctops Umulunshi. Many thanks to @pinuppaleontology.bsky.social and Christian Sidor for critique and access to this wonderful animal's remains, and for liking gorgonopsians as much as I do! Printing, adding whiskers and painting soon! #sciart #paleoart
Arctops goes AHHHHHHH. Its teeth are lightly ribbed and rather serrated, I based its skin texture on hippos and tortoises, with some warts here and there. I'll be adding whiskers to the physical print of this later. Also you cant see it from this angle but he has pallet teeth in the back of its upper pallet, I kinda adore that they could open their mouths SO WIDE (pretty much 90 degrees) that they needed some helper teeth to ratchet prey down their throats. Including this shot to show off the parietal eye, another of my favorite gorgon features. It was probably mostly for sensing light, you can see them on some modern reptiles and amphibians. Some gorgons had very pronounced structures up there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye

We would have no trouble reconciling Dracorex->Pachycephalosaurus were Stygimoloch not shoving its back-end dome into the mix. It's giant spikes, it's parietal-eating and nasal ignoring, narrow mini-dome head somehow thwarting the "perfect" ontogeny of pachycephalosaurs.

But pachy domes are doing this constantly even after supposed sexual maturity, in which the domes continue to expand, incorporating the parietal bones, then the squamosal bones, then the postorbital and lacrimal and prefrontal bones... Eventually, the dome reaches the sides and back. A full helm.

These results support an adaptive recurrence theory:
When feedforward suffices → recognition stays ventrally.
When it fails → rapid, transient, cortex-wide recurrence (fronto-parietal feedback) to resolve recognition.
In other words: recurrent loops might be our brain's visual debugger 👀 (fin)
