  1. Reading the dissertation was fascinating because it reveals a side of #Helmholtz that is rarely discussed today. Long before his work on #EnergyConservation, #electrodynamics, and #WavePhysics, he was already deeply engaged with #anatomical and #biological questions.

    It also shows that some core ideas about the comparative structure of nervous systems were already being articulated in the early 19th century.

  2. CW: CW: Slight gore, shown as an anatomical drawing of the brain.

    I play Chalice, a TTRPG created by @tryagainben (on Insta). We met up IRL, and the party came across notebooks of experiments that alchemists had been doing on people, so I was inspired to draw based on the results of these experiments.

    Thanks also to Holly, CJ, Jago, Max, Billy, and Kay for being the best party I could ask for!

  3. #Insects have a lot of #anatomical and #physiological features that make them very well-adapted to #terrestrial #environments. And some of them live in extremely #dry situations.

    #Flour #beetles can go their entire lives without #drinking? How do they do this? Part of the puzzle is that they "drink" through their #rectum.

  4. Another promising avenue is to complement traditional #attachment #research (e.g., #behavioural #observation, interviews, #questionnaires, etc.) with objective neurobiological #data.

    My @SoNeAtLab has suggested two functional #neuro-#anatomical models of human attachment - #NAMA & #NAMDA (pvrticka.com/attachment/nama_a) and thereby provides a #social #neuroscience perspective on attachment (pvrticka.com/attachment/attach).

    Why is such an approach important? More information here: pvrticka.com/2022/08/17/why-at
