I tweet, therefore I am: a systematic review on social media use and disorders of the social brain by Nancy Yang, Bernard Crespi

“…In each case, the virtual nature of social media facilitates the delusionality because the self is defined and bolstered in this highly mentalistic environment, where real-life exposure of the delusion can be largely avoided. Current evidence also suggests that increased social media usage, via its disembodied and isolative nature, may be associated with psychotic spectrum phenotypes, especially delusionality, by the decoupling of inter and intra-corporeal cues integral to shared reality testing, leading to the blurring of self-other boundaries.…”

Coordinated regulation of timing and strength of synaptic outputs by adrenergic receptors through control of action potentials in Purkinje cells by Kei Furukawa, Kei Furukawa, Shin-ya Kawaguchi

“…We demonstrate that Purkinje cell axons exhibit negative control of action potentials in amplitude and conduction velocity by β-adrenergic receptors in a manner dependent on the axonal length through specific reduction of axonal Na+ currents. On the other hand, β-adrenergic receptors increased presynaptic release probability without changing the amount of readily releasable vesicles in axon terminals of Purkinje cells. …”
