Ben Smith@bensmithliveADHD is not a disorder. It’s a difference in cognition. You need to harness it, not sedate with pills. Once you do, it will make you hyper-focus. Here’s what you can do to turn ADHD into a superpo...
SummaryThis thread argues ADHD is a cognitive difference rather than a disorder, explaining the neuroscience behind it (brain development, neurotransmitter imbalances, weak GABA function) and advocating against medication in favor of natural methods like breathwork, cold therapy, meditation, and proper sleep. The author claims positioning oneself in their "zone of genius" allows people with ADHD to harness hyperfocus as a superpower instead of sedating symptoms with pills.Oct 21, 202423 tweets♥ 53.3K
Vive con Propósito.@PropositoyVidaEl TDAH no es un trastorno. Es una diferencia en la cognición. Debes aprovecharlo, no sedarlo con pastillas. Una vez que lo hagas, te hará hiperconcentrarte. Esto es lo que puedes hacer para conver...
SummaryEste hilo argumenta que el TDAH no es un trastorno sino una diferencia cognitiva que puede convertirse en una fortaleza sin medicación. Propone un enfoque natural basado en resetear el sistema nervioso, aumentar neurotransmisores naturalmente, entrenar el sistema parasimpático y posicionarse en la zona de genialidad personal.Oct 22, 202423 tweets♥ 48.2K
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFoxThis teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned. “Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.” Every previous generation outperfor...
SummaryA cognitive scientist warns that Gen Z is the first generation underperforming previous generations on cognitive measures, with heavy screen use in schools significantly lowering academic performance. Beyond academics, dopamine-optimized digital content and AI-generated media are neurologically conditioning children for addiction and emotional dysregulation, mimicking addiction patterns and undermining healthy nervous system development.Jan 21, 202630 tweets♥ 29.6K
dra fermdo@fernandamdoHoy les cuento de un caso inmunológico muy interesante. ¿Listos? Niña de 12 años, ingresada en psiquiatría con diagnóstico de “psicosis aguda” que no respondía a antipsicóticos y empeoraba cada día....
SummaryUna niña de 12 años diagnosticada erróneamente con psicosis aguda resultó tener encefalitis autoinmune anti-NMDAR paraneoplásica causada por un teratoma ovárico, un diagnóstico frecuentemente perdido cuando se etiqueta a las mujeres como histéricas sin investigar causas médicas subyacentes. El caso ilustra la importancia de la perspectiva de género en medicina para identificar patologías que de otro modo se confunden con trastornos psiquiátricos.Jun 4, 202518 tweets♥ 36.5K
Kayakestable@kayakestableUn neurólogo dijo: “Saca la lengua durante 40 segundos — esto elimina el cortisol más rápido que cualquier pastilla y ejercicios de respiración. Big Pharm está en pánico:🧵
SummaryUn neurólogo afirma que sacar la lengua durante 40 segundos reduce el cortisol y la ansiedad al descomprimir el nervio vago, citando un estudio de la Universidad de Pittsburgh. El hilo detalla el método exacto, la timeline de resultados (1 mes para autorregulación del cortisol) y argumenta que cambios pequeños sostenidos generan estabilidad.May 30, 20268 tweets♥ 37.2K
Jules Horn@juleshorn01Your face isn’t sagging. Your skull is compressed. 🧵👇
SummaryFacial sagging isn't just a skin issue but results from skull compression caused by stress, jaw clenching, and poor posture. A cranial release technique involving gentle palate lifting can decompress the mid-face, restore cranial rhythm, and signal safety to the nervous system in just 2 minutes daily.Jan 10, 20266 tweets♥ 20.9K
杨高能@430Yang一位神经科医生说： “伸出舌头40秒——这比任何药片和呼吸练习都能更快地清除皮质醇。 大型药企慌了：🧵
Summary一位神经科医生分享一项简单的舌头拉伸技巧——伸舌头40秒可以快速降低皮质醇水平和焦虑。该方法通过减轻迷走神经压迫来工作，据称效果是20分钟冥想的2倍，具体做法是每天早晚各做3组、每组40秒的舌头拉伸。May 30, 202614 tweets♥ 14.1K
AI at Meta@AIatMetaWe’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2. Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-perfor...
SummaryResearchers have developed Brain2Qwerty v2, an advanced non-invasive brain-to-text decoder that converts raw brain signals from MEG devices into written sentences with 61% average word accuracy. The system uses deep learning and language models trained on ~22,000 sentences, with the best-performing participant achieving 78% accuracy, and the team is releasing the code and dataset to accelerate neuroscience research.Jun 29, 20264 tweets♥ 14.1K
Dr. Biohacker@Dr_BiohackerA neurologist said: “Stick out your tongue for 40 seconds — this removes cortisol faster than any pills and breathing exercises. Big Pharm is panicking:🧵
SummaryA neurologist claims that extending your tongue for 40 seconds can rapidly lower cortisol levels by decompressing the vagus nerve, with one client's cortisol dropping from elevated to normal levels in two weeks. The thread explains the physiological mechanism and provides step-by-step instructions, though it includes promotional content for magnesium supplements.May 30, 20269 tweets♥ 14.5K
Dr. Eduardo Villalobos@eduardojvvComo psiquiatra, te advierto algo: No intentes entender a un psicopata desde tu lógica, moral o empatía. Si no eres un psicopata, siempre te quedarás corto. Son seres con un cerebro que funciona t...
SummaryUn psiquiatra explica que los psicópatas tienen un cerebro que funciona de manera fundamentalmente diferente: entienden intelectualmente el bien y el mal pero carecen de emociones morales como culpa, compasión y remordimiento. Aprenden a simular empatía y a manipular a otros observando sus debilidades, pero nunca experimentan vinculación emocional genuina, por lo que el castigo solo les enseña a no ser descubiertos.Jan 19, 202613 tweets♥ 10.2K
James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath@JamesThrotIf you still believe COVID left the population “unchanged”, open a dating app. It sounds absurd, but stay with me here. The cognitive bluntness is so widespread that the dating platforms themselves h...
SummaryA thread arguing that COVID-19 has caused widespread cognitive decline visible in dating app behavior, including shorter messages, reduced empathy, poor attention span, and social disengagement. The author attributes this to viral damage to the frontal lobe affecting executive function, emotional processing, and impulse control across the population.Nov 26, 202517 tweets♥ 11.7K
Maikolll@MZora0419Un neurólogo dijo: “Saca la lengua durante 40 segundos; esto elimina el cortisol más rápido que cualquier pastilla o ejercicio de respiración. Big Pharm está entrando en pánico:🧵 ...
SummaryUn neurólogo afirma que sacar la lengua durante 40 segundos reduce el cortisol rápidamente al descomprimir el nervio vago, generando cambios medibles en ansiedad y calidad de sueño en pocas semanas. El método implica repetir el ejercicio tres veces diarias con descansos de 60 segundos entre repeticiones.Jun 20, 20267 tweets♥ 10.8K

SummaryScientists discovered that Porphyromonas gingivalis, a mouth bacteria, burrows into brain tissue and triggers Alzheimer's disease, found in 9 out of 10 Alzheimer's brains in peer-reviewed research. Mastic gum, a tree resin used for 3,000 years, killed the bacteria in studies and reversed symptoms in mice, offering a potential $1/day alternative to failed amyloid-targeting drugs.Aug 11, 20266 tweets♥ 8.3K
