Religious Experiences Shrink Part of the Brain
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=religious-experiences-shrink-part-of-brain-
In this study, Owen et al. used MRI to measure the volume of the hippocampus, a central structure of the limbic system that is involved in emotion as well as in memory formation. They evaluated the MRIs of 268 men and women aged 58 and over, who were originally recruited for the NeuroCognitive Outcomes of Depression in the Elderly study, but who…[Read more]

That’s really interesting. :| Depression itself usually shrinks the hippocampus as well. The hippocampus is primarily used in memory, I wonder if it has any noticeable and measurable effects on the highly religious? Do you think the hippocampal atrophy is a cause or effect of “deeply religious experiences”?
-
that’s a very good question. I’d like to know the answer too.

I made it purple-black with Photoshop.-
Well my best guy friend is such a Pokemaniac he’s a mod on the Bulbagarden forums, so he keeps well up-to-date with all Pokethings. I’m also currently making my way through Ruby Version (I beat everybody and now I’m just trying to catch ’em all).

I haven’t given up hope of an Arrested Development movie yet, even though the back and forth of “it’s being made/it’s not being made” is basically tearing my soul apart.

Twin Cities Straddlers 12 years, 3 months agoHi, I’m Mollie! I will be in the Twin Cities at U of M in a few short months! (I’m in Rochester right now) and I would LOVE to help out with organizing against the amendment! :)
-
Hey Mollie! We’re psyched to have you =D we’re planning a meet-up sometime soon if you’d be interested in hauling yourself down here, although hopefully it will become a semi-regular thing and we’ll have more once you’re moved to the TC! I’ll send you an e-mail with my address if you want to be in on the details.

Omnivorous Atheist/Skeptic queer geeks 12 years, 3 months agoSo let’s focus on the Skeptic part of this group. How ridiculous are anti-vaxers like Jenny McCarthy? There are currently measles outbreaks all across the country, even here in Utah, because a few people actually are convinced that vaccines cause autism(no evidence whatsoever to support this claim). Well guess what? Measles can KILL, pertussis can…[Read more]

Man, there are few things that piss me off more than that crazy movement. I grew up in a small town full of hippies, and then moved to a bigger city full of hippies, and I swear I am constantly surrounded by these people. Even my mom buys into that crap. I’ve been reading about the measles stuff lately and it makes me SO MAD because there is just…[Read more]
-
That stuff pisses me off so much, people are dying because these stupid people won’t vaccinate their kids. I had someone on facebook unfriend me because I kept calling out her anti-vax (wasn’t a big loss since she’s also a fan of fox news).
-
I have an aunt and once had a teacher that were anti-vaccine. They make my blood boil. I’m pretty passionate about it just because it is so god damned stupid. Parents shouldn’t have the right to deny their children vaccines that could prevent serious outbreaks of diseases that are totally preventable.
-
There’s a website called ”Jenny McCarthy Body Count” that has numbers of how many people in countries where vaccines are widely available have died of the diseases they prevent.
It also really offends me that people would rather have their kid get something like mumps or rubella, than have a health autistic kid. It’s just SO offensive to people…[Read more]
